ROOTSMAGIC 7 UNLOCK KEY SOFTWARE
Louis has developed his own genealogy software and at the end of his presentation he announced that he was giving all attendees a lifetime license to his Behold Genealogy software (there is a free trial version). Ideally I would like something for every year but then that is not always necessary. But I do like his use of Timelines as I also like to track ancestors at various times in their life. Louis has a different approach to research, quite different from anything I have heard from others, and not all agree with his approach I gather. The last session before dinner was Louis Kessler on Using Life Events and Ages to Solve Genealogy Problems. Black sheep could include lawbreakers, philanderers and deadbeats and these types of ancestors are not boring because they left records and we usually know more about them than the good, but boring ancestors. Judy Russell was next with Of Public Wrongs: Our Common Scoundrels which looked at lawbreakers and I particularly liked some of her terminology. Marg also looked at Australian women on the home front and in particular the development of the Red Cross with branches across the country. The Australian War Memorial has nurses embarkation rolls online and as we often tend to think of this purely for male military people, it was a good reminder to also look for female enlistments. Marg Doherty was next with Australian Women in the First World War which was an interesting look at nurses who went to war starting with the Crimea, then the Boer War and WW1.

Research guides and fact sheets online can give us lots of ideas of where and how to look for more specific records. I spoke about It’s Not All Online: Where Else Can I Look? which looks at using online library and archives catalogues to find out more about what is not online. Paul ended his talk with a fascinating look at John Lennon’s Irish ancestry.Įric Kopittke was next with Scots in Prussia and I missed this talk to do a quick review of my own talk which was on next. Maybe I will at last find my Irish Catholic ancestors. I was particularly interested to learn that Findmypast is adding 10 million Irish Catholic records from parish registers in March 2016. He went through the major websites to look at as well as Ancestry and Findmypast. Paul Blake was next with Part 2 of his Finding Your Irish Ancestors and started with the Irish penal laws and Catholic Relief Acts and the Catholic Emancipation Act of 1829. Now that many gazettes have been digitised it is easier than ever to search and some may even be found on Ancestry and Findmypast.
Next was Rosemary Kopittke with a talk on Australian government, police and education gazettes and these are a fantastic resource for finding all kinds of information on people. Preparation is the key and you should have a research plan to know exactly what you want to look for, so easy to get sidetracked. Jan Gow was first up with Internet Searching from Go to Whoa or is that Woe and it was a fast paced talk on how to make the best use of the internet and saving and recording what you find.

I couldn’t help thinking that something like Evernote (which also has a free version) can also do some of these things, so it is a personal choice to see which works best for you.ĭay 9 was a day at sea so a full program of talks all day. I will have to have a closer look when I have more time once I am back home. Jan seems to use a lot of free (or cheap) software and new to me were Parish Locator, Belarc, Karen’s Replicator (sadly the designer has since passed away but still available to download), Faststone, Irfanview, Clipmate, ReadPlease and WordWeb. It is always interesting to see what other people use in doing their family history and Jan’s list included some standards such as Dropbox, Skype, Legacy Family Tree, RootsMagic and Jan’s favourite tool Treepad. The after dinner speaker was Jan Gow with Gadget Janet: 12 devices or programs that will turn your computer into a friend and not a foe. Still really beautiful as you would expect from a world heritage area and it is amazing that these big cruise ships can enter and turn around in each of the sounds.
The last time we were here I remember a lot more snow and it being really cold. Day 8 was touring in and out of New Zealand’s west coast sounds and we saw Dusky, Doubtful and Milford Sounds.
