About this event

  • 2 hours

Perhaps you are already subconsciously using descendancy research as a methodology.

Perhaps you would like to share what use you have found for it, or the discoveries made as a result.

Can you offer advice on how to proceed if choosing this pathway?

Nancy Edwards from the Queensland Family History Society Inc will facilitate this meeting.

Please note. This event does not have a presenter.

Social connection and learning will be promoted by a facilitator providing discussion opportunities for the participants, through prompts, conversation and chat messages.

In some instances there may be a list of resources and the 'chat' emailed to participants after the event. The event will not be recorded.

As these sessions have a limited number of tickets to ensure everyone gets their chance to participate in the discussion, if you are booked and realise you are now unable to attend, please advise us so we can reallocate your ticket to someone on the waitlist.

This event will be held at 10:00 am Queensland, Australia time (AEST, no daylight saving)
