Hello everyone on aus-nsw-se, and a happy new year to you all You will have already seen the announcement of the launch of the IFHAA. How about joining the IRC chat tomorrow night? Scott Brown and Cathy Dunn will be talking about the IFHAA which should be of interest to all Internet genies, but there is always a chance for chat on other genealogical topics as well. Everyone is friendly and you will be immediately welcomed. It would be great to have a good roll-up of aus-nsw-se listers. If you need to download an IRC client program go to http://www.pirch.com/ or there is also mIRC at http://www.mirc.co.uk The software is easy to install and the instructions are pretty easy to follow, but if you have any problems don't hesitate to contact me.
