Zoom meeting during July lockdown...

22/7/2021

With the extended lockdown we will sadly be unable to meet in person tomorrow. Chatting with Wendy today, we decided to offer a Zoom meeting instead. We hope to provide the opportunity to share the month's family research progress, 'highs' and 'lows' and to share stories on this month's topic ‘I wish I’d met/known’. A reminder of the brief: ‘Sometimes while we are researching we come across someone we wish we'd met or known. Write about them, what intrigued you about them and what questions you would like to ask them if you'd met.'

If you are able to send your stories, photos, power point presentations before the session to go on the website that would be great, however feel free to send them in afterwards, or as always, present your story orally.

I know that a number of you are very comfortable using Zoom, but others may need some support. Please email me back or call me to let me know if you wish to attend but would like some help with Zoom beforehand?

Here's the invitation with the link:

Family Research

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. .
