Supported by a billion-dollar industry, in 2017 alone, Ancestry.com generated a revenue of $1billion, partly contributed to by its DNA product.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">There is a
myriad of reasons why people “do” their family history. To record and preserve for all time the
history of the family, to verify family stories – to determine if family
stories about ancestors are true, to research an historical event of where an
ancestor was connected. It might be to find birth parents or a proof of
paternity – To determine the birth parents of an adopted child. Alternatively,
to find children given up for adoption.
To document a community history by understanding the families that
founded and influenced the community. To preserve the knowledge of ancestors
who contributed to family traditions and to preserve Family Culture of their ‘old
country’. Or, it might be to reconnect with
Family.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">Through your research, you might discover an awesome story, the highs and lows of human life. It might be to gain a better understanding of
the lives of your pioneering ancestors and to know where they came from. It might be to connect with long lost
cousins, </span>learn more about the old letters that you inherited, explore names in the family
bible and to put stories to the faces in your heritage photos.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">For some
people. the fun of researching family history lies in the ease of accessing records online, or of being able to research in
your pyjamas, 24/7. It is the thrill of
the research journey and solving the jigsaw!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

celebrating<a href="https://www.internationalwomensday.com/" target="_blank"> International Women’s Day</a> all week. This year’s theme is <i>Choose
to Challenge</i> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Today’s
spotlight is to encourage the family historians among us to uncover the stories
of our female ancestors.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><b>As always
follow or review the beginners’ steps</b>: </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">summarize known names, dates and
relationships and family traditions. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Gather records and memorabilia from around
the house. Are their family heirlooms such as jewellery, crockery, a vase that has
been kept through the generations?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is
there an old quilt or sampler? Needlework was customarily taught to girls at
schools.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">Pull out
your photos, identify them, analyse them, what story can they tell you, examine
the setting and background information. Is
there a Family Bible? Are there letters and diaries?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Gather oral
history, ask open ended questions. Verify family stories through civil
registration records and find married names.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Consider that your ancestor may have married more than once.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">The
opposite challenge may be to determine a married name.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Look for death notices, obituaries and wills
for the father.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The married daughter may
be mentioned.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Consider
the use of<a href="https://www.family-tree.co.uk/how-to-guides/how-to-use-naming-patterns-to-find-your-ancestors/" target="_blank"> naming patterns</a>.</span><span lang="EN-AU"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Names can
be anglicised, shortened, and spelt in numerous ways. Early day clerks made
many errors with foreign names and they had problems with different accents.
Not all our ancestors could read and write. Not all of them could write their
own name.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Christian names were often

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Search Tips</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Search everywhere! Both online and offline. Search broadly, then narrow down, search in non-traditional resources such as
the local history catalogue for the public library where your ancestor lived,
hospital records or even prison records.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">If you can,
do not include the surname in your search, instead use other identifying
information such as birth or death date or relationships.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This trick works well if you have an uncommon
first name.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Be mindful
of your spelling. Some names may have been abbreviated e g. Marg’t for
Margaret.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Historical
newspapers via <a href="https://trove.nla.gov.au/" target="_blank">Trove</a>, <a href="https://link.gale.com/apps/GDCS?u=yarra_plenty" target="_blank">Gale Primary Sources</a> and <a href="https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/" target="_blank">British Newspapers Archive</a> are
worth looking at.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Employ your different
search strategies including e.g.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Mrs T.
Ryan” combined with a place name to narrow down your search. Your ancestor may
appear in featured news articles, social news, obituaries, birth, marriage,
death, funeral and probate notices.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Have a scavenger hunt in your house to see how many things you can find that are about your family history. You can look for a family bible, old papers and photos and scrapbooks, medals and jewellery or anything that reminds you of the past. If the items are moveable you can make a display, and if not, you can take and print photos or share online with other other family members. Create a name for your "family history museum," and ask mum and dad to tell you stories about the items and the relatives associated with them. Write these down or video or audio record them.</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #474747; font-family: "Noto Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5rem; margin: 0px 0px 18px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Gather Stories</strong></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #474747; font-family: "Noto Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5rem; margin: 0px 0px 18px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Talk to parents and grandparents and ask them them about what they know about your family history.

Japan accepted the Allied demand for unconditional surrender on 14 August 1945. For Australians, it meant that the Second World War was finally over. The following day, 15 August, is usually referred to as Victory in the Pacific (VP) Day. Almost one million Australians served during the Second world war. It is a time to pause, reflect and acknowledge the service and sacrifice of more than 39,000 who lost their lives and to remember those who made their contribution in service on the home front.</p><p style="background-color: white;

They include tips on more ways to browse collections, what’s in the new categories, how to become a Voluntrove, highlights of research that uses Trove and how to find items about and created by First Australians.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />• Trove brings together a vast range of collections from cultural, community and research organisations all over Australia. To help you find what you're looking for, there are nine categories for you to search in. If you're searching for something specific, or just curious about what you might find, this is an excellent starting point for your Trove journey.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />• Cultural Sensitivity notifications are a new feature and their visibility can be adjusted to suit you. This includes options to blur certain thumbnail images and a form to alert the Trove team about items that should be considered culturally sensitive. A First Australians collections indicator has also been added to Trove, to make it easier to identify items created by or about First Australians. These notifications are a part of a series of changes aimed at making Trove more culturally safe for all Australians.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />• Collection Features are a new way to browse items in Trove, grouping by themes or showcasing whole collection shared by Trove Partners. Collection Features will have the options to see data visualisations about the collections and explore further.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />• News brings together the latest events, blogs, and new items in Trove – including newspaper, gazettes and journal titles coming soon. See the news feed in the top right-hand menu of each page to stay up to date.</div>

• Collaborative Lists are a new way to work with friends and colleagues who also use Trove. Create a list together to collect items along particular themes. Lists can now also be filtered, reordered with drag-and-drop functions and downloaded.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />• Trove Accounts will be fully functional, with enhanced privacy settings, greater functionality for browsing and filtering your lists, tags and notes, and the ability to create new accounts and delete accounts you no longer wish to use.</div>

Search, browse, view, download and text correct to your heart’s content.

New guide information will help more Voluntroves get started with this fun and addictive activity.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />• Viewers for online digitised Maps, Images, Journals and Sheet Music are functionally the same, besides the colour changes common to each page.

Other categories are <em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">images, maps and artefacts</em>, <em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Research and reports, Books and Libraries</em> (which include journal articles), <em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">music, audio and video, people and organisations</em> and <em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">websites</em>.

• Search results have a new look. Basic searches across all categories return the top 3 results for each category. You can then choose a category to search further.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />• Advanced Search now requires you to choose a category before choosing keywords and more filters. This will save you having to select a category later in the search process.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />• Filters have sometimes been called facets in Trove. They are used for narrowing down search results both in advanced search and searches within categories. Filters include title, date range, location and more.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />• Records for individual items have been redesigned to highlight actions you can take – such as Read, Borrow, Cite and Buy. These records still contain all the usual information you’d expect to find in a library catalogue.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />• Trove Accounts are now more customisable. This includes options for changing privacy settings, adding profile information and ways to view and sort the contributions you make to Trove.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />• Comments are now called Notes, but are otherwise the same.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />• Lists are now able to be filtered, reordered and downloaded in your Trove Account.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #474747; font-family: "noto sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Understanding how our ancestors spent their working day can give us fascinating insights that greatly increase our understanding of their life and times. Clues to the jobs our ancestors held may be found in birth, marriage and death certificates, census records, military records or electorol rolls. You may have found evidence in your family archives or asked the question in an oral history interview. Asking my father what he did when first left school, he told me about his youth working in shearing sheds and named some of the stations in central New South Wales where he worked. In the 1950's Australia "rode on the sheep's back" and I have been able to learn more about this time by reading </span><a class="o-link--solid-faux-underline add_title_widget" href="http://yprl.bibliocommons.com/item/show/715481027" style="background-color: white; border-bottom-color: rgb(148, 148, 148); border-bottom-style: solid; border-image: initial; border-left-color: initial; border-left-style: initial; border-right-color: initial; border-right-style: initial; border-top-color: initial; border-top-style: initial; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #02729e; fill: rgb(2, 114, 158); font-family: "Noto Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The Shearers </a><br />

Caring for Family Archives often become the responsibility of the family historian. Personal letters, especially written by hand with first-hand accounts of a life and experiences can invoke a time and place and connect the family history researcher very much to their personal past.</div>

Robert recently inquired at the library about binding his Uncle’s letters which he had recently inherited. We asked him if the letters were in good condition. Potential damage to look out for include: biological infestations, structural damage and adhesive damage and surface damage. Read more about this in this article on <a class="o-link--solid-faux-underline" data-analytics-event-added="true" data-analytics="[{"event":"bc.outboundLinkClick","payload":{"gtmCategory":"v2-page-interactions","gtmAction":"v2-outbound-link-click","gtmLabel":"https:\/\/www.scrapbook.com\/articles\/paper-restoration","gtmValue":1,"gtmContentType":"","gtmContainerName":"","gtmContentCreator":"","gtmCreatorType":"","gtmCardTitle":""}}]" href="https://www.scrapbook.com/articles/paper-restoration" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(148, 148, 148); border-bottom-style: solid; border-image: initial; border-left-color: initial; border-left-style: initial; border-right-color: initial; border-right-style: initial; border-top-color: initial; border-top-style: initial; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #02729e; fill: rgb(2, 114, 158); font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Paper Restoration</a> from Scrapbook.com.

I suggested to Robert that in fact binding his letters may not be a good idea. Professional Conservators talk about any treatment to materials should be done so that it can also be undone.<br />
He should digitise his collection and transcribe the letters. Perhaps there is information that would help him understand any heritage photographs that his Uncle may have also left behind.<br />
Each page should be stored in a protective sleeve. These sleeves can then be placed in order in an archive folder with slip case. Use the digital copies as access copies and these can also be freely shared with other family members.</div>

PROV publish an interesting newsletter, blog posts to their website and also maintain Facebook Twitter, Instagram and Linked In accounts on social media. Users of the collection are encouraged to write up their research to contribute to the Provenance Journal. The website is often the first port of call for visitors and researchers.

PROV are redesigning their catalogue and have been testing new functionality for searching the PROV collection via a Beta version. Users are encouraged to use this and offer feedback.<br />
The aim is to have less clicks and for a search to be simpler and to integrate series / agencies / functions. More topic pages are also to be developed. A user once signed in will be able to curate their own collections as well as leave comments. Terminology is being updated and there will be permalinks created so that users can bookmark finds and also share on social media.<br />
Some content is digitized and available immediately on the site via an image viewer. There is a plan to be able to download documents as a PDF.<br />

Photos, videos, and DNA kits live large in the 2019 family history toolkit. But audio, in all of its 96 to 160 bitrate glory, is making a comeback, and there are three reasons why.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f4344; font-family: "Noto Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5rem; margin-bottom: 18px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
1. Audio Creates a Stronger Personal Connection Than Video or Writing<br />As I looked back on videos of my family, one thing became crystal clear: their voice was the most meaningful part. I didn’t care so much how they looked or where they were. I didn’t care what they were doing. I cared about what was on their mind. I cared about what they said and how they said it. It occurred to me that the clearest window into their mind and personality was their voice, not their dress, location, or pose.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f4344; font-family: "Noto Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5rem; margin-bottom: 18px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Hearing someone’s voice makes it feel as if they are right there with you, even when they are gone. The human voice creates a timeless connection that becomes more meaningful than any other medium, once they are gone. Writing misses nuance. Videos land somewhere left or right of the authentic self. I became convinced that the truest picture of a person emerges through audio, and I began capturing my young family’s voice, in audio. I knew that in 40 years, my kids would cherish hearing the most authentic version of themselves. And I believed that when I was gone, they would likewise find meaning in hearing from me, in my voice. In just a few years we have already found meaning in our early audio efforts.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f4344; font-family: "Noto Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5rem; margin-bottom: 18px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
2. Audio is Easier than Writing or Video<br />Writing is hard. Aside from the physical requirement of typing or handwriting, both of which require precious dexterity that is lost with age, developing proper language structure along the way is a mental barrier. In reality, writing captures only a fraction of what is really on the author’s mind. And it misses, by its format, significant nuance along the way.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f4344; font-family: "Noto Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5rem; margin-bottom: 18px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Videos have become more accessible and easier to capture, but they remain mentally heavy and awkward. They create an “on-stage” moment that is uncomfortable for most, making it harder to become engaged in personal topics, or to ignore the camera’s watchful eye.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f4344; font-family: "Noto Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5rem; margin-bottom: 18px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Unlike writing or video, audio plays a quiet but powerful role as it extracts the most authentic version of ourselves with a single touch of a button. Audio has the magical quality of disappearance. While recording, it fades into nothingness in the the background; a feat not possible with camera or pen.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f4344; font-family: "Noto Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5rem; margin-bottom: 18px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
3. Audio is a Lightweight and Preservable Technology<br />A question that requires constant revisiting when it comes to storing and preserving family history, is format. Audio can be fifty times smaller than video, making it less expensive to store, transport, playback, and back up, forever. When you consider this benefit, which doesn’t demand a trade off in quality, audio deserves to be a leading player in human history preservation.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f4344; font-family: "Noto Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5rem; margin-bottom: 18px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Thankfully, tools are available to capture family history in audio if we make it a point to use them. Smartphones put an audio recorder in nearly everyone’s hands, which delivers a file that can be shared or uploaded in any number of ways. But wherever you begin, just begin. Once a voice is gone, it can’t be replicated or replaced. Capturing it now will allow a purer form of history to live on for generations.</div>
