A very interesting video. How long ago did you make it? I really love History and Family History in particular. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the feedback! It's great to hear that people find it interesting :-)

We actually produced the film last year after the event held at Kenwood House in Hampstead.

Thanks again for the encouraging comments!

This is so fascinating. Are there any more videos like this? Also, can anyone access the archives of documents and information, or do you have to be a professional? Thanks for your response :)

Thanks. We're pleased you found it interesting. Unfortunately this is the only flim we've done...but we'll hopefully do more in the future.

Regarding access to archives - anyone can visit their local studies library or county record office. You may have to register but the archives are open to everyone.

Thank you again for the good feedback.

I enjoyed your short film, I'm sure it took a lot of research. Thankyou
