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 ... the One Voyage version of a One Place Study

Presenter: Facilitator: Nancy Edwards

Grab your coffee, put it on your stable table, and join us for this interesting discussion secure in the knowledge that your mug won't slide off the table.
You may discover a family, village, county or occupation cluster, or a long-lost voyage journal may turn up. Your ancestor may have held an honorary position during the voyage. Did the ship make free pratique, or was it quarantined on arrival? Did fellow passengers, or their Australian-born children, marry each other once in Australia?
Have you been down this path and found something interesting? Please join us and share your discovery. Are you thinking of further research along these lines and would like to learn more?
A One Place Study can be the ideal vehicle for honing your research skills. If you have experience of any sort of One Place Study we would particularly appreciate your input.
A zoom link will be sent from the Queensland Family History Society Inc to registered attendees the night before the meeting.
Please note. This event does not have a presenter.
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..

As these sessions have a limited number of tickets to ensure everyone gets their chance to participate in the discussion, if you are booked and realise you are now unable to attend, please advise us so we can reallocate your ticket to someone on the waitlist.
This online event will be held at 10 am Queensland, Australia time (AEST, no daylight saving)
