What’s on …

What’s on? To keep you up-to-date with what’s coming up, I’ve compiled a list of the (mostly) Australian genealogy and history related events, both in person, and online that are coming up. As you can see there, is plenty on, so if you wish to keep on learning, and boost your genealogical and historical knowledge, you can do so – with many being available from the comfort of your own home.
