TWO courses to help people learn more about local and family history start at the end of September.

Ways Into Local History - 17th and 18th Century Sources will be held at the Tolson Museum, Moldgreen, from Wednesday, September 22.

The other, Discovering Family History, starts at Cleckheaton Library on September 24.

Both are being run in conjunction with the Workers' Educational Association.

The Moldgreen course will run for 11 weeks and will uncover the past through handwritten documents, inventories, wills, deeds, parish registers and other documents.

Cleckheaton's 10- week course will help people wanting to research their family history by helping them discover sources available locally and nationally.
