Pt2: So the theme of #FamilyHistoryMonth this year is “Secrets and Lies” and Mum and Dad both laughed when I told them that, after some of the things we found today. “I’m sure that applies to every family!” Mum said. (I was dreading her reaction, but no, she’s not fussed, thank goodness!) But there have been so many lovely things too. Here’s one: Mum on Victory In Europe Day, 8 May, 1945. Taken in the back garden of her grandparent’s house in Altrincham, Manchester, where she spent the war.

It's Friday afternoon, it's #FamilyHistoryMonth, and I'm procrastinating, so here's a post that describes some of the resources in the #GLAMWorkbench that you might find useful for #familyHistory research: https://updates.timsherratt.org/2023/08/18/family-history-resources.html #genealogy

A researcher working on a #onePlaceStudy discovered my fully-searchable version of the Tasmanian Post Office Directories today and she said "a cloud has lifted". She even bought me 3 coffees. 😊

It's here if you're interested: https://glam-workbench.net/libraries-tasmania/tasmanian-post-office-directories/ Useful for #histodons & #familyHistory too. Share it around for #familyHistoryMonth.

What a pity #LibrariesTasmania can't find a place for the Tasmanian Post Office Directories database (created from their own digitised collections) in their list of #familyHistory resources for #familyHistoryMonth. https://glam-workbench.net/libraries-tasmania/tasmanian-post-office-directories/

Libraries Tasmania has a great line-up of events for #FamilyHistoryMonth in August – including webinars for those not in Tasmania. I'll be speaking on 8 August about uncovering the histories of Chinese Australian families. https://libraries.tas.gov.au/news/national-family-history-month-2023/ #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #ChinOzHist
