Eastbourne Family Roots
Eastbourne Family Roots is open to all who want to trace their family tree. The Society is very active, with a members’ magazine, CDs of local records and offers a warm and friendly welcome to members and visitors at all our monthly meetings.
At 7.30pm on Thursday, 8th January 2026 we meet on Zoom to hear a talk from Dr Sophie Kay who will be telling us about When Time Team met Family History.
It is over thirty years since Time Team brought their unique blend of archaeology and history to UK screens. Since then, their celebrated approach of having ‘only three days’ to explore each dig location has delighted millions of viewers around the world.
2023 marked a new milestone for the programme, when it embraced family history research as a means to investigate the historical narratives of the people and communities associated with the dig location.
Armed with images and insights from the programme, Time Team’s very own ‘Ancestry and Genealogy Expert’, Dr Sophie Kay, will take us behind the scenes of the show, providing a sneak peek into what happens when the worlds of family history and archaeology collide! Free for Family Roots members.
