Trove - "Help! Find My Ancestors"
This group has been designed to assist members who need some extra help with Trove. Locating that elusive family notice or article can sometimes be frustrating. Trove is a wonderful tool to use to find information about the daily lives of our ancestors. Birth, Death, Funeral and Marriage notices are just one treasure trove of information that can be sourced from the Trove website. I started this group as a support group for new family history researchers to check in and ask questions on where to look for more information about their ancestors. However, I have quickly discovered that many researchers have difficulties using Trove. There is also a section on tips and tricks on how to find these articles yourself. Also for experienced researchers to provide their expertise to new researchers, so regardless of your knowledge and experience this group is for you. Happy Hunting!

Thanks to Andi Stevenson and Wende Sturgess for pointing us in the direction of geneology related Facebook Groups. What a fertile ground for family history research!
