What has been your journey in family history since 1990? Some have been researching long before then, others have started much more recently.
In 1990 some GSV members began the Scottish Ancestry Group and we are now celebrating its 30th birthday.
We know we are a bit late, but it was originally scheduled for 20 March 2020 – and we all know when Covid reared its head, so the celebration did not occur.
Now, we have another opportunity. On Saturday 25 November 2023 we will have a party, 2-4pm. Some of us will be at The Kathleen Syme Library, 251 Faraday St Carlton – actually meeting in person. Others will be online through the hybrid format.
Our speaker is Linley Hooper FGSV who will share something of her learnings along that part of her research relating to Scotland. Then we will all have opportunity to contribute, to listen and to learn in a conversation.
A couple of special activities will help us to celebrate.
The Scottish Ancestry Group is in process of transitioning from a service group of the GSV to a Discussion Circle. We are open to all members of the GSV – any of you can use the normal methods through the Members Only section of the GSV website to add your name to the mailing list. Everyone on the mailing list will receive a free digital copy of our magazine Thistle 4 times a year.
We hope you can join in.
You are invited to our celebration on Saturday 25 November by registering for the hybrid event through www.gsv.org.au or by registering to attend in person by email to scotland@gsv.org.au or by phoning the editor of Thistle, Eric on 0400 638 936.
