Ben gave very informative information. It is great to learn of more research sites and archives. It was also great to have another Down Under Webinar.
I can't wait to get in and use some of the ideas Ben shared
Great insight into where to check and follow-up for Church records across various religions in Australia.
I will be more aware of what and how I should ask for next time I visit the Archives. There were some interesting documents on screen.
Fantastic resources for me to follow up. Thanks Ben.
I hope all the Australians tuned into this session! It was great!
Enjoyed the presentation which was filled with good information and tips. It was good that he remined people to be precise and concise when asking archives etc for information, and to keep personal stories to a minimum
