Those who are family-oriented and living in the Broadmeadows area might be keen to have a go at the science of genealogy to explore and understand their ancestry.
Genealogy is the study of families, their history and the lineage stretching back into the past. It is an engaging and consuming pastime which has become very popular over recent years. Internet searches plus access to online certificates and documents has fuelled the hobby and there are myriad genealogy sites to help would-be searchers.
At the Genealogy meetings in Broadmeadows, there will be people who can assist members of the public in their searches, using genealogy and family history tools with all the attendant library resources. Popular sites for the curious include Find My Past and Ancestry, allowing users to locate and create historical records, including photographs and family trees. Both Find My Past and Ancestry are sites that have extensive access to birth and death records, Electoral Rolls, obituaries and other useful documentation, all helping to build those family connections.
Information on using genealogy tools may be available to peruse and take away, most likely printed at local Stationery printers.
The Genealogy Group (Broadmeadows) meets on Mondays in October at Broadmeadows Library, 1093 Pascoe Vale, Broadmeadows, from 9am until midday. Places should be booked, but the event is free to attend.
