School on the lake

It's School Holidays - there's a sailing school in session on the lake.

Bibliography - Books for researching Family History in Lake Macquarie

During the Lake Macquarie FHG presentation, Trawling in the Lake, for National Family History Month last week an important element of the resources shared was a list of books and printed materials to assist with local research.

As an alternative to sharing a printed book list the free Librarything online platform was used. The bibliography contains not just books held locally in our Group's collection but in local public libraries, the University of Newcastle, the State Library of NSW and the National Library of Australia. It is a dynamic list that will grow as new resources are identified.

Entering the Blogisphere

As a committed geneablogger I am always championing the benefits of blogging.

Since becoming President of The Lake Macquarie Family History Group last August I have been hoping to set up a Group blog so I was delighted when the Committee supported my proposal to create this blog at our last Committee Meeting.

I see the blog as an integral part of our communication strategy for both promoting our Group and preserving its history and as a forum for sharing stories of the people who lived and worked in Lake Macquarie. I am hoping that our members and people from our local area will embrace the blog and share their stories of life on the Lake.
