The group decided to forego our April 28th session to provide members with the opportunity to attend Benalla Family Research Group’s Australian Heritage Festival ‘Lone Graves and Other Curiosities’ sessions being held from the 26th to 29th April.
Members agreed to present stories for both April and May’s topics ‘They were there when….’(April) and ‘Obituary’(May) at our meeting on 26th May – ideally both, but one would be fine.
‘They were there when’…. “Did someone in your family tree experience a significant news, historical or cultural event first-hand? Share your understanding of what may have been their experience”
‘Eulogy/Obituary’ Write a eulogy for an imagined funeral (or an obituary for a newspaper) for someone in your family tree you never, or barely met (preferably at great grandparent level or earlier), based on your research and any family stories passed down about them.
