Researching your family history? Feeling a bit frustrated about where to look next? Looking for some inspiration?
August is National Family History Month and Yarra Plenty Regional Library have a number of events to feed your passion.
From personal reminiscences to tech tips, there is something for everyone, from beginners to advanced researchers.
Expert speakers will present on accessing education records, accessing records at Public Records Office Victoria and the National Archives of Australia. Understanding DNA for family historians and researching police. Learn how to undertake an oral history and how to care and understand your precious family heirlooms.
Not a serious researcher? No worries. Learn about conserving and looking after your photo collection, discover the story of women on the land, unleash your inner poet and write the “where I am from” poem and stories from your life, use your phone as a scanner and share your stories via the Joyflips app. Be inspired by the stories of others, growing up in a Chinese restaurant and growing up with an Anzac veteran affected by the tragedy of war.
To see other events around Victoria and Australia that family history groups, public libraries and community groups are organising visit the National Family History Month website.
Be inspired and unlock your family history this August.
