Society of Australian Genealogists

Society of Australian Genealogists - February activities

Thursday 23 February (10.30am - 12.30pm) - Getting Started on Your Family History - Members Only
Are you wondering how to get started, or what questions to ask? This opportunity is especially for new members with no family history research experience. Learn the fundamentals to start you on the road, and where to find and ask for help. Members Only. Bookings Essential and limited to 10. Cost $10.00.

Friday 24 February (1.30pm - 3.30pm) - Ancestry - Hands On Workshop PM Ancestry.com holds more collections of genealogical information than any other subscription-based website. The sheer size of the collection and its organisation can make it difficult to find the information you seek.

Bookings essential and limited to 14. $30 ($40 non-members).
