Land Research for Family Historians 2nd edition

by

The 2nd edition of my Land Research for Family Historians in Australia and New Zealand is now available for pre-order, printed or e-book.

The general principles and types of records have not changed, but where to find them and the names of the (usually) government repositories have changed in the ten years since the 1st edition. The book covers land records such as grants, Torrens titles, maps and plans, in all the states and territories of Australia, and New Zealand.

The photo on the cover is a part of the property of my great-great-grandfather Richard Eason near Blayney, NSW. The house where his children and grandchildren were raised is now only stones in the grass.

The book or ebook can be ordered from Gould Genealogy: https://www.gould.com.au/land-research-for-family-historians-in-australia-and-new-zealand-2nd-edn/utp0162-2/

Australian and New Zealand Genealogy Online Classes

by

The next Australian and New Zealand Genealogy class offered by Genclass.com starts on the 1st May. Genclass is a USA-based company that offers online training on a wide range of genealogical topics and geographic areas. The instructors are all experienced educators in the field of family history research. Courses last for a month, two lessons per week. Students receive the materials for the class by email and take part in online discussions with the instructor, who is also available for questions via email.

The Australia and New Zealand class is taught by Kerry Farmer, a member of the Education Committee of the Society of Australian Genealogists who has given classes to community college groups for over 10 years.

I have seen the preparation and commitment that Kerry puts into all of her classes and seminars and I can highly recommend this course.
