Unst Family History – A One-Place Study with Guest Speaker Morag Hughson

Family history enthusiast Morag Hughson joins us on the opening weekend of Te Ao Mārama – Tauranga Library & Community Hub to talk about her “one-place study” of Unst, Scotland.
By expanding beyond her family tree, to research the branches of the whole of the island of Unst, Morag developed a unique perspective of the island by uncovering patterns that would not be obvious to someone only researching their own branch.
