Last March, Fiona and Michelle joined forces and started a weekly Friday night "Talking Family History" virtual lounge session online. As a result, they have found themselves giving fortnightly presentations on Ancestry's Facebook page.

So now is your chance to come along and meet them in real life as they chat about genealogy, DNA and take questions from the floor.

Bring along your family history questions, be they brick walls, or "I have always wanted to know how..." or "what would you suggest I do next"?
