Like many of you, here at Deceased Online (DOL) we are getting ourselves ready for next year’s WDYTYA? Live event at London’s Olympia.

There will be numerous demonstration computers with our friendly team showing visitors how to get the best from DOL and other special features.

This will be our fourth year at the show and we’ll be revealing even more exciting new features and records on the Deceased Online database Visitors to our stand in previous years will know that we’re one of the busiest at the show, so there will be plenty of enthusiastic staff to help you to view our large screen demonstrations and learn how to best search our records. We’ll also have smaller screens for researchers to register and try out the database.

Anyone who needs in-depth advice on finding their ancestor’s death or burial records can chat to professional genealogist, Emma Jolly, at the stand.

We will also be launching an exciting competition to win a really useful book. We can’t say much more now as the book’s so popular it’s being reprinted and we have fingers crossed that we’ll have stocks available by 22nd February.

Look out too for an article all about Deceased Online in the show catalogue.

Let us know if you will be attending the show. We look forward to seeing you there!
