A Few weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending the   Who do you think you live   conference in London .It has taken place since 2007  in  The Olympia National  Hal. It is organised by and sponsored by among others  BBC Magazines  Ancestry.co.uk .Society of Genealogists.  
Many different genealogical and Historical Societies and genealogical  service providers exibited and there were also many workshops and  lectures given on a variety of different subjects
Ancestry.co.uk  
had one of  the biggest booth in the exibition with a lot of visitors
According to the  England  1901 Census around 5000 Swedish born lived in England.
They even had a special lounge at the second floor were Ancestry.com subscribers could meet and relax and  discuss their research.
There were also demostrations and small workshops held by the staff for people interested in how to do Family research and how the site works and the content of its collections
This nice lady in old fashined clothing   helped
me to get my subscription to to work
(Do anyone know her name ?)
Scotlandspeople is a website with similar content as Find My Past but for Scotland even here the visitors were shown the content by helpful members of the staff like this lady (who is she ?).
