Military Historian Simon Fowler Joins Pharos
Posted 22 December 2008
By Helen Osborn


Simon Fowler Top military historian Simon Fowler joins Pharos' roster of family history experts to lead a Pharos online course on researching military ancestors. Starting on 20 January 2009, the five-week course will look at the major resources available online and in record offices, such as The National Archives and the Imperial War Museum.

"I'm looking to forward to working with Pharos. Their courses and tutors are highly regarded," said Simon, "Military genealogy is something which has really started to appear on the web over the past couple of years. And I think students on the course will be surprised by what they find."

Simon has published many guides to researching military history, particularly on Army genealogy and the First World War, for The National Archives, Pen & Sword and Countryside Books: "In researching these books I have found many great resources which I have enjoyed sharing with readers."

He is also an experienced lecturer and tutor. "I've always enjoyed the interaction with students in lecture rooms, but it will be a fascinating challenge to recreate this buzz through chatrooms and forums."

Pharos Teaching & Tutoring has been providing a unique way of learning about British and Irish family history - through online courses - since March 2006

Other Courses in Winter/Spring 2009:
  • 19 January - Become a Better Genealogist
  • 20 January - Military Men and Women: Records of Britain's Armed Forces 1750 - 1920
  • 2 February - The National Archives Catalogue - Finding People
  • 10 March - Scottish Research Online
  • 20 March - Writing Your Family History
  • 16 March - Searching for Wills and Administrations in England & Wales
  • 23 April - Caribbean Family History
Pharos was the first British company to provide online family history classes aimed specifically at helping researchers with British and Irish ancestry http://www.pharostutors.com .
