Thanks to unexpected career change Jackie Depelle started designing and creating Family History activities across Yorkshire twenty years ago.

​

She started teaching in the days of libraries full of film and fiche, migrated into computers then the internet and now fully committed to online delivery.

​

A regular speaker at major events such as WDYTYA-Live and RootsTech London, Jackie has also run dedicated workshops for Archives, Country Houses, Libraries, Museums and Universities.

​

It began with a family house, researching its occupants, an interest in Local History and joining a Family History Society. Still promoting local groups she chairs the Yorkshire Group of Family History Societies, is a member of the Guild of One Name Studies, Bradford, Calderdale and Wakefield FHS, Friends of the National Archives and the British Association for Local Studies.
