Wrap Up - Branches of Time
Discovering Your Ancestry Research Day.
The Pearson family gathering Reference: 2023.25.96
On Saturday 23 August, Central Library came alive with family stories and discoveries at our Branches of Time: Discovering Your Ancestry Research Day.
Members from the Hamilton branch of the New Zealand Society of Genealogists and associated interest groups were on hand to assist patrons to find their family. Thirteen volunteers, representing six different interest area, decorated their stations with flags, books, and posters ready to help visitors with a wide range of enquiries. Around 25 eager researchers attended, including quite a few younger people, who got to learn from experts with experience researching Ireland, Scotland, London, Southern England, and DNA.
If you missed out, you can still explore your own whakapapa and ancestry at Central Library. We have a wide range of family history resources, and our staff are always happy to help you get started.
