​Family 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.  .  

Main Session - 4th Thursday 1:30 to 4 pm

Drop In 'Hands On' session - 3rd Thursday 1:30 to 4 pm
