Family History Tourism

 We had a successful monthly meeting at LMFHG on Saturday last..

For our morning discussion Jenny M gave members an introduction to our newly acquired ARK Kit, https://mhnsw.au/guides/archives-resources-kit/.
After a lively general meeting chaired by President Patrick and discussions over lunch our 30+ attendees settled down to hear guest presenter Maria Northcote present a session on Family History Tourism. We all learnt something from the tips Maria shared.
Maria is on the right of this photo with a few members and guests who benefitted from her presentation.
