In December, The National Archives will host a number of free events and talks where specialists will share their knowledge and expertise to offer useful advice on research and best practice for using the archives.

Subjects range from the Manorial Documents Register to advice on searching for records of births, marriages and deaths at The National Archives and elsewhere.

Other highlights include:

• Child emigration schemes to Canada - an examination of the records and reasons behind the schemes
• The Hearth Tax - a 17th century census? - an overview of how the records were compiled, how to use them and what we can get from them
