Event Description
Thinking of doing some family history research but don’t know where to start?
August is National Family History Month so we will be hosting two workshops to get you started on your family history research journey.
Join the experts from Family History WA to get some practical tips on using family history apps, including the free Ancestry resource available at Cockburn Libraries.
The theme for this year is Family as Community- together we can do so much more.
This emphasises the impact of collaborative research, shared stories and the collective effort needed to preserve our past.
The first workshop will give you an overview of family history research and genealogy, including information about using various tools, websites and software programs.
The second workshop will allow for a deeper dive into your own research, so please bring your own laptop or iPad along with your notes to get some expert tips, however bringing your own device is not essential to attend.
