Family
History Month is just about over, and what a huge month it has been.
Browsing around on the FHM homepage
and looking at the number of events, talks, tours, webinars and activities, the
month has clearly been a success around the country. Just looking at all the
range of topics offered is mind-boggling.
Campaspe
Regional Library has offered a number of Family History talks during the month
at all our library branches, as well as one-on-one sessions at Echuca, Kyabram
and Rochester. All classes have been well attended and the one-on-one
sessions booked out, even after I opened up more days at Echuca to meet the
demand.
If you were
meaning to come to any of the Famiy History Month talks at Campaspe Library but
didn't make it, the slideshow presentation for each talk is available in pdf on
the Library's website under Genealogy Classes. Check them out to see what
is available - they cover :

Finally, a
big thank-you to everyone who attended any of the events. Your
enthusiasm, eagerness to learn, questions and positive feedback has made our
Famiy History Month a success.
