Central Coast Family History Group will put the focus on family holidays during the month of November.
“Pause awhile and consider; holidays through your family’s past generations,” a spokesperson said.
“Generations of parents, grandparents, great grandparents.
“Look again at the trinkets in the bottom drawer.
“See what those resources tell – a postcard, teaspoon, tea towel, town badge, small Kodak black and white photo.”
Special guest speaker at the group’s next meeting on November 2 will be Peter Fisher, who has been researching holidays and the broader aspects of tourism for families and communities.
Living on the Central Coast, he has also studied the growth of the holiday communities, along with environmental factors such as the Hawkesbury River bridge, national events like the World Wars and recreation.
The meeting will be held at 1pm on November 2 in the Lions Hall, 3/8 Russell Drysdale St, East Gosford.
