On Saturday the 17th March I gave a PowerPoint presentation to the Federation of Family History Societies, as a prelude to their AGM, on the forthcoming General Data Protection Regulation (the GDPR).
This follows a similar one I gave to the Yorkshire Group of Family History Societies in February.

I've now decided to offer this to any society or group who are struggling with this new and complex piece of legislation. If you're interested and would like to know how the GDPR will affect your organisation please let me know.
The talk and visual aid covers all the essential elements of compliance with the GDPR and comes with a comprehensive information pack for each attender.
Fees are dependent on number of attenders and distance travelled, contact me for more details.
Had a very pleasant visit to Selby on Tuesday the 20th March to talk to the Selby and District Family History Group.
They had chosen the Pontefract Murder talk, even though it has no Selby connection but they seemed to enjoy it just the same. I think this illustrates the fact that although this murder was committed in Pontefract, it could have occurred anywhere, and the circumstances surrounding the case, the detection of the culprits, their trial and eventual execution, can be of interest to any group anywhere.
