I’m delighted to announce I have added a new talk, all about the Brontës, and tips for finding your family history connections to the famous literary sisters. I presented this talk for the Society of Genealogists in April 2026, and it will be available for other organisations to book from June 2026.
It is far more than a family history talk. It is also ideal for those wanting to know more about the Brontës, and those with an interest in Brontë-linked local history – in particular in West Yorkshire.
The talk was inspired by the hype around the 2026 film adaptation of Emily Brontë’s dark, Gothic literary classic, Wuthering Heights. This resulted in a new generation of tourists descending on the village of Haworth, keen to find out more about these world-famous sisters, and wanting to carve out their own slice of Brontë magic. But as this talk will demonstrate, family historians can also channel into the Brontë family’s lives and literature, seeking their own Brontë connections and research inspiration. Packed with Brontë family details, and local history links too, my talk will give you some ideas of how, and where to look.
I am immensely proud of where I come from, my area’s Brontë links, all things Brontë, and I might even let you in on my quest to find my links to this amazing literary family. You never know, as a result you may have ideas and inspiration to see how your family history might be connected.
