Fresh from attending the recent Family History State Conference, author Danielle Lautrec will be the guest speaker at a Central Coast Family History Society (CCFHS) seminar on October 7.
“I love genealogy, history, research and problem solving (and) I would love to help you,” Lautrec said.
The morning will focus on research techniques, helping you to think about the past, researching, sources and information.
Practical problem solving strategies will be discussed in the afternoon.
“Family history needs to be accurate, otherwise the people you find will not be your family,” a CCFHS spokesperson said.
“Danielle has been helping so many find their family for years with SAG (Society of Australian Genealogy Sydney) as the Education Officer.
“Now she is here to help us – most practically too.”
Lautrec’s book, The Good Genealogist: How to Improve the Quality of Your Family History is a practical guide for everyone researching family history.
It focuses on the importance of taking a systematic approach and introduces the concept of the research process cycle.
A short guide on how to use the book is supported by an index leading you to (specific) problem areas.
The seminar will be held from 10.30am-2.30pm on October 7 in the Lions Community Hall, East Gosford.
Numbers are limited for this day so contact Central Coast Family History Society so registrations are invited on 4324 5164 Tuesday-Friday.
Copies of Lautrec’s book will be available at the seminar.
