Easter Thursday afternoon affected attendance in April, however Shirley, who has been working one to one on family trees set in New Zealand and Scotland, came to her first small group meeting, joining Phil, who arrived keen to learn how to put photographs on his tree. We worked through the process of downloading a Gedcom file from Shirley’s practice tree then uploading it on to her own ancestry.com account - job well done! Phil had a beautiful photo of his mother on his phone, it wasn’t long before this was on his family tree. Both went home planning to spend hours over Easter on family history!
One to one sessions have been continuing, although at the moment, they are 'couples' sessions, with Shirley and Margaret both working on trees for their husbands, who have been coming along to contribute ideas to the process, often leading to rich reminiscencing about the past.
In May, one to one sessions will begin to tail off and there will be two sessions as originaly timetabled -
1st Thursday – ‘new beginners session 1’, a session focusing on learning new skills and developing a deeper understanding of the possibilities of family research.
2nd Thursday—'new beginners session 2’ – hands on session (bring your laptops/other devices used)
