Trengrouse ICT Project
We Are Researchers
As part of the ICT curriculum this term we will be using the internet to search for data used in local and national census databases.
The children would love to research something with meaning to them and so it would be useful to have any information you may have about family members or famous people that you know of who may have lived in Cornwall between the 1841 to 1901 era. We will be using websites such as
ttp://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kayhin/51909d.html
http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/category.aspx?cat=39
http://www.freecen.org.uk/cgi/search.pl
to search for people by name and/or date of birth. We will primarily be looking for what jobs these people did and who they lived with.
We will also have a list of famous people to search for, so there is no need to provide any data if you do not wish to. Furthermore, if you think it may be in any way difficult or upsetting for your family to research family history, please do not feel under pressure to provide any details and complete the second half of the reply slip.
