This week we join Bunbury Museum's resident family history expert, Barbara Rae, to learn how to answer those puzzling questions that pop up during family history research. Barbara will use an example of a photograph from our collection labelled with details that just didn't look right, and take you through the resources and skills she used to unlock the real story behind it.
