HOBBYIST genealogists can now research their family history from the comfort of their home, thanks to a new eLearning course launched by Devon County Council’s Adult and Community Learning service.

It offers live online tutorials, allowing people to watch demonstrations and interact with others, while being supported by a tutor.

The five-week course starts on Tuesday, September 24, and costs £50.
