Which family did my ancestor come from?

As we trace our ancestors, we sometimes find that there were a few people with the same name who were born around the same time as our ancestor. Or we may find that different publications list our ancestor with different parents. This seminar provides strategies for solving these problems, using the claims made about the parentage of bushranger Captain Thunderbolt as an example of how to solve these problems. 

– 45/60 minutes – Powerpoint presentation


How to become a skilled historical detective

As a genealogist, historian and author, Carol Baxter had to learn strategies for determining historical truth – in particular, when she discovered that most of the works previously written about her “popular history” subjects were riddled with errors. She needed to be able to prove truth or mistruth in a manner that would withstand strident critical examination. This seminar teaches you strategies for determining truth, strategies that you can apply not only to your own family history research, but to help you separate fact from myth in daily life.

Genealogical education

There comes a time in your research where you want to enhance your research skills. This presentation shows the range of options available online both free and fee based that will allow you to customise your education.


Subscription websites and how to get good value

How do you use subscription websites (including Ancestry.com, Find My Past, Scotlands People, The Genealogist and Roots Ireland) most efficiently, indeed often as a way of saving you money. 


Newspapers for use in family history

Newspapers contain a wealth of information for family historians, beyond the reports of national and local events. Births, deaths and marriages, funerals, obituaries, accidents, missing persons, ships' arrivals and passenger lists, shipwrecks, petitions, 'letters to the editor', advertisements, examination results, court cases, governement notices - and more. Digitisation means that many of these can now be easily searched from home. This talk covers some of the main collections both of Australian and overseas newspapers.

It’s Not All Online: Where Else Can I Look?

This talk is a reminder that not everything is online and that researchers still need to use archives, libraries, historical societies and museums, genealogy and family history societies and so on.
