Eric's topics for the day:

  • Starting to Research Your German Families
  • German Records - What Can I Find?

and for Rosemary:

  • Australian Government, Police and Education Gazettes - Unlocking a Major Untapped Resource Examine the hidden material in Australian Government, Police and Education gazettes - mostly we consider them to be irrelevant and uninteresting but that is definitely not the case. The gazettes contain information about people we would never find in other records.

  • ScotlandsPeople ScotlandsPeople - what it is, what records are available, how to search effectively and what are the charges.
