John
Recently, Sue Reid gave a Zoom presentation to the Botany Bay Family History
Society entitled Australian newspapers and substitutes after the 1950s: What
can we do when Trove runs out.
Unfortunately I didn't hear about the talk in time to attend, but the topic is
so relevant to our work that I approached Sue to see if she would present it to
Ryerson members. Sue agreed to do so, and we have scheduled the talk to take
place via Zoom on Wednesday 7 April at 7.30pm. All Ryerson members are invited
to attend. The link is at the end of this email.
If you don't know Sue, here is some background.
Sue was motivated to begin family history research as a teenager when a cousin
gave her a copy of a diary written by an ancestor, Dr Robert Ross. Dr Ross was
a missionary in Russia in the early nineteenth century and later came to New
South Wales with his second wife and family.
Sue has researched and written on the life and times of her great, great
grandfather, James Henry Mills. James Henry managed to get himself reported in
the Sussex press with great regularity. A methodical search of the newspapers
has not only shed light on the man, but increased her knowledge of using
newspapers for family history research.
She has presented sessions at family history conferences and seminars including
the three most recent Australasian Congresses on Genealogy and Heraldry, at the
State Library of Queensland, the National Archives of Australia, and Sussex
Family History Conference. She is the author of many articles on family history
published in local and overseas journals and other publications.
As well as serving on the Committee of Queensland Family History Society, Sue
also convenes the QFHS Family History Writing Group and is the Convenor of the
QFHS Education Sub-Committee.
In recognition of her contributions to family history, Sue received the QFHS
Award for Services to Family History in 2015 and was appointed a Fellow of the
Queensland Family History Society in 2020.
The session will run for an hour, and there will be a handout provided by Sue.
The session is aimed specifically at family history researchers, so won't
concentrate solely on death records, but will provide many useful clues on how
to research in the difficult "recent" period.
I am sure that we will all learn much from this talk, particularly in relation
to our personal research, but also by picking up clues to how we can improve
Ryerson to be even more useful in this period than we currently are. I highly
recommend that all our members tune in.
Please RSVP to Pauline (secretary@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) so Sue knows what size
audience to expect. We will be running the session through the QFHS Zoom
account, so we don't need to worry about zoom cutting out after 30 mins.
I will also run a very short optional zoom session at 7.30pm on Wednesday 31
March, so that those attending who may not be very familiar with Zoom can try
connecting. Further details on that session closer to the time.
Here is the link to Sue's session (I'll send a reminder out closer to the time.)
