Future meetings: (held via Zoom)
Our second meeting for 2023 will occur via zoom at 1 pm on Saturday 19th August. At this meeting, we will look at our journeys in Genealogy. Genealogy has a lot to do with journeys- not just where did someone come from, but how did they get to their destination? We plan to open up the forum to participants from whom we hope for a contribution. Amongst issues we would like to cover are – the route taken, form of transport, events enroute, paperwork involved in planning to migrate and some assessment of the outcome. The ISG would like to hear from anyone who can contribute to this concept. Contact convenor Michael Rumpff to take part: isg@gsv.org.au
