I see in the current issue of "Ancestor" that there is a to be a 'Family and Local History Discovery Day' at the Maryborough Resource Centre, this coming Sunday (18th), 10am - 4pm. Does anyone know what form this will take? That is, is it a Day for locals wanting to learn how to discover their family history, or is it likely to be of interest to a wider audience? I was thinking about making the trip up for the day. However, because I am fairly advanced in the "how to" of family history, I don't want to travel the distance if it is a "beginners" Day. I guess I am a bit selfish but I am getting on a bit and would rather conserve my resources and energies .... :-( On the other hand, since I have a lot of material on some local Maryborough-Tarnagulla-Dunolly-Logan families, I would be interested in the Day if there were some more 'advanced' aspects to the Day. Anyone know anything about it? Trevor

Hi Trevor, As far as I know there will be various Groups there that have information, I will be there with the Victorian Mining Accident Index (over 9500 names) and there is usually groups from far and wide as well.
