Talking about ...
Talking abouts ... are a chance to engage with like-minded others through questions, answers, and discussion. Do you want to learn more about one of these avenues? Have you already used them? Can you suggest another avenue? Come along and share your experiences. This broad discussion of the avenues open to us and your interests may lead to further Education events.
A "Talking About" session is a discussion group where everyone is given the opportunity to contribute by sharing their knowledge and experience, through asking questions and/or giving opinions and answers. It is not a presentation. It is open to all levels of experience; no question is too silly to ask. Although under the Members Lounge umbrella, the "Talking About" events are not exclusive to members of QFHS.

Talking about ... Learning by ContributingPresenter: Facilitator: Nancy Edwards There are many advantages to joining the contributing community including building new friendships, having a sense of purpose, connecting with others in meaningful ways and keeping your brain active. When we look specifically at genealogy, there is the potential to find a missing jigsaw piece to your family tree, acquire knowledge, learn through volume how to use crowdsourcing platforms better, and to hone your existing skills. What is your favourite way of contributing? Are you a member of the Voluntrove community, a Wikipedian, or a transcriber for FromThePage? Or have you found your niche closer to home as a volunteer on one (or more than one) of the QFHS teams? Please come along and share with us which programmes have benefited from your volunteering, and in turn have enriched and fulfilled your own life. Please note. This event does not have a presenter. |

Talking about ... Queensland in 1925Presenter: Facilitator: Nancy Edwards What happened in Queensland in 1925? Do you have an ancestor that experienced a meaningful event that year? Maybe you do and are not aware of it yet. In this session you are welcome to share anything you have discovered relating to an ancestor in 1925. What are your go-to sources for placing your family in temporal context? We are using 1925 as a case study that could be used for any year. Please join us for a cup of coffee and a chat. Social connection and learning will be promoted by a facilitator providing discussion opportunities for the participants, through prompts, conversation and chat messages. In some instances there may be a list of resources and the 'chat' emailed to participants after the event. The event will not be recorded. |
