A+Beginners+Introduction+to+Research+Family+History



U3A members were recently treated to an information packed presentation by theBega Valley Genealogical Society's at the Old Pambula Court House and Police Station leaving the group inspired to follow up and explore their family history. Suzanne discussed about researching the family tree, using basic charts to map the family, and begin adding more information than just birth, death and marriage dates. It's not all on the net! Only 16% of all genealogy information has been uploaded to the internet to date, so where else can you look? The Bega Valley Genealogical Society can assist with many different aspects of family history research including exploring a particular database, problem solving with church records etc… U3A are looking at running regular Family History classes in 2016, for their members, in conjunction with the Bega Valley Genealogical Society. U3A are always looking at events to inspire and excite their members, so why not become a member to meet new people your age and keep yourself active in your retirement.
