Val reported working on a French born great great grandfather who seems to have been an inveterate liar, schemer and bigamist. Finding around 1000 articles mentioning him in Trove, Val found herself speculating whether they were based on a 'truth or a lie'. We tried to help her establish the truth of one of these stories, but this proved difficult! Val is also keen to find out more about 'sustenance', an apparent benefit available in the early 1920's to impoverished families.
With fewer beginners attending this semester, we have decided to reduce the session time from three to two hours, with the new time slot 2 to 4pm. Sessions will continue to provide support with problem solving and hands on tasks, with Judy Barry mentoring on the 1st Thursday from 2 to 4pm and Deb Saunders mentoring on the 2nd Thursday from 2 to 4pm.
