As well as stands from a number of Victorian agencies and societies, there is also going to be an accompanying talk and activities?program. Your family might want to join in the all day Make Your Family Tree kids program (parental/carer supervision required) or from 12.30pm to 1.15pm you might want to become a ?wiki warrior? with Public Record Office Victoria.
For those of us who are regular viewers of the popular?SBS television series Who Do You Think You Are? the 1pm to 2pm talk by researcher Kirrilly Brentnall should be a highlight.
?All talks and activities are free but bookings are essential to 03 9348 5600 or to prov.vic.gov.au/what?s-on.
From North Melbourne to my lovely home city Adelaide for the major 13th Australasian Congress on Genealogy & Heraldry ?from 28 to 31 March.

A copy of my full paper and accompanying list of references?will be available in the proceedings after the Congress.
