Research: Australian and New Zealand Ancestors

This course provides a detailed description of how to research your family in Australian and New Zealand records. Learn about history, geography, civil registration, church records, immigration (both “free” and convict), as well as the archives and other records you can use to “add flesh to the bones” and turn a list of names and dates into a family history. Learn how to use the online indexes and find the digitized records that can help overcome the “Tyranny of Distance”.

Four ''Live Online Meetings'' will be offered during this course.

This course does not qualify as a Certificate course in the Certificate in Genealogical Studies program. It will not have assignments to submit or an exam to complete.
