'Trove is the National Library's largest online service, housing the collection information of hundreds of libraries, museums and local organisations in Australia, as well as the National Library's own Digital Library. Trove has a community of committed users which the team engages through social media. Armchair editors can sign up to Trove and join a community of text correctors to improve the Library’s digitised newspaper collection, but be warned, text correcting can be pretty addictive.' The following videos will review what we discussed last week - some of the group have already spent valuable time and developed skills in using Trove already! Family Historians often find Trove provides stories about family members... here's an example. An example... Here is a learning resource about using the newspapers section of Trove, And if you want to find out more about editing digital text... Today we are also going to check out My Heritage, equipment willing, however I must say that there have been many changes in how people are using My Heritage in a device based, digital environment using mobiles and tablets.... my reading on this at the moment is https://lisalouisecooke.com/2014/07/23/genealogy-apps-myheritage-ancestry-just-keep-getting-better/

Family ResearchFamily Research is a guided self-help group for members who are already working on their family tree who enjoy, learn and gain confidence from group interaction. The course includes two sessions a month -
1. A group session which commences with reports on ‘pains and gains’ over the previous month accompanied by shared problem solving and lots of encourage-ment and ideas for next steps. Presentations by group members, guest speakers and excursions will increase your awareness of different approaches and resources and will also expand your understanding of local and other family research initiatives. You will be encouraged to set project goals such as working on a particular family line; preparing stories for a collection; publishing and giving family history related gifts to families, and more. 2. A drop in session with a hands-on component which will support you to build further confidence in using online geneology programs; to resolve problems you are in danger of putting in the too hard basket, and to complete your project goals. Experienced members of the group will be available as mentors at the drop-in session and for one to one consultations or appointments if required. . Convenor/s Contact DetailsBarry O'Connor
