This 4-week online course, led by Caroline Adams, is designed for family historians who want to unlock the genealogical potential of manorial records. Manorial documents are among the richest and most detailed sources for tracing ancestors before parish registers and civil records, yet their complex nature often deters researchers. This course will demystify these fascinating records, helping you to locate, read and interpret them with confidence.

Through illustrated examples and guided exercises, you will explore the structure, purpose and language of key manorial records, discovering how they can reveal patterns of inheritance, landholding, and community life across centuries.

By the end of the course, you will have developed the skills to interpret manorial records systematically and use them to enrich your family history research with new depth and precision.
