Pleased

I am really pleased to be acknowledged for something I enjoy! You are a great bunch of people to help with your research & the staff are fantastic.

Busy afternoon yesterday!

The six computers that the Wednesday Family History Group use were (once again) out of order! No connection to the Internet. We had use of the four other computers but 7 of us turned up, not including me (Angie). Maybe we should phone the Library 9561 1110 half an hour before 2pm. 

Would you believe they are all working today!
Don't forget there are other places you could go

The Family History Centre at Merriwa, 30, Hughie Edwards Drive ph: 9304 3488 is open Tuesday 10am-4pm, Wednesday 6.30pm-9.30pm and Thursday 10am-2pm. Worth a call just to make sure they are there.

Roots Magic

A Family Search web site.

What is RootsMagic?

RootsMagic is a Windows® based computer program you can use to record, organize, print and share genealogical information. It allows you to create a computerized family tree (known as a database or a family records data file) beginning with yourself and continuing back through your parents, grandparents, and as many generations back as you are able to find. This is separate from any other program (FamilySearch Family Tree, PAF, etc.) and can only be accessed by you (unless you share your information).

Talk by Kay

Very good turnout for this mornings talk. In the afternoon there were new people who were able to find their families in most of the census. All 6 computers were put to good use. 

The North Coast Times took some photos, so keep a watch for the newspaper article. 

Maps

I know the internet has a multitude of maps but sometimes it's good to have a whole book full of maps 

My Butler family were in Bath for some time.

My Beck family from London.
