Programme:
5pm: Refreshments and canapes, mix and mingle
6pm: Suffer the Little Children with Judy Russell, aka “The Legal Genealogist”
They were victims. They were heroes. They were lost. And they were found. Some lived and became our ancestors. Some died. Some are remembered vividly. And some are known to no one alive today. They are the littlest members of our family. They are the children. And from the mundane to the amazing, they all have stories we ― like our families’ genealogists ― must tell.
7pm: Family History Friday’s LIVE!
with Jason Reeve (Ancestry AU & NZ - platinum sponsor), Debra Carter (Ancestry ProGenealogists) and Talking Family History's Michelle Patient and Fiona Brooker
8pm: Q&A session and interactive discussion
8.30pm: Close
