This is a group for those in Australia who are researching their families no matter where they originate. New arrivals with no Aussie roots will benefit from membership.

When you join the group please make an introductory comment that tells us a little about yourself.

If you are able to offer help to others with lookups, tips, cemetery photos etc. please post a message in the Offers of Help by SKAS discussion forum.

If you need assistance please post check Offers of Help by SKAS discussion forum for relevant assistance and then post your request in the IF YOU WANT HELP/LOOK UPS POST IT HERE discussion forum.

If you are seeking information on a particular surname have a look for a group devoted to that surname.... if there is not one consider setting up a group....it's not an arduous task. Try using the Site Search on the Top Right Hand side of the page to find references to your surnames.

Please create and use the discussion forums to communicate with other members. There are only two discussions displayed - please use View All to browse through the whole list and find those of interest to you.

Comment by Shauna Hicks on January 11, 2012 at 11:07pm: Thanks Judy for the link to A Hobbyist's Genealogy Manifesto - it's certainly one to bookmark and reread from time to time as a reminder of why we do what we do with such passion.

Comment by Judy Webster on January 9, 2012 at 6:04pm: 'A Hobbyist's Genealogy Manifesto' is one of the best articles I have read in a long time. I try to follow the principles and practices outlined here. If you like this 'manifesto', please share the link with your genealogy friends.

Comment by Maya O'Brien on December 24, 2011 at 1:25am: Hi all,

just thought I would let everyone know that Cudo currently has an offer, in which you can purchase Family Tree Maker 2012 Deluxe Edition, with 3 months access to Ancestry.com, for only $24. The offer only has around 5 and a half hours until it expires (midnight tonight, 24/12/11), but I hope some of you manage to get in in time!

The link is: http://cudo.com.au/sydney/discover-your-family-tree-with-family-tre...

Happy holidays everyone!

Comment by Geniaus on November 7, 2011 at 3:31am: Quite a few members of the list have joined the "Genealogists for Families" project started up by Judy Webster from Queensland.

Genealogists worldwide, and their friends and relatives, are working as a team to help small family businesses in low income areas.

Our motto is, 'We care about families (past, present and future)'. Already the Genealogists for Families project has 63 members helping 91 individuals or groups. It would be great if you'd join our team at http://ning.it/say644
