Australia... The end of July marks the beginning of National Family History Week, which runs from 29 Jul through until 8 August. More details here... http://www.familyhistoryweek.org.au New Zealand... you can read full details here... http://www.gouldgenealogy.com/2011/08/new-zealand-family-history-fair-26-27-august-2011/ For those who aren't aware of Trove, it has to be one of the very best resources available and it's free... don't dismiss it as a totally Australian resource... just go to search and type in say, " Ennis, Co Clare" or simply "Ireland" whatever you are looking for and you will be surprised at what results you will get. If the paper you’re after isn’t here, sit tight, it will in time … in the meantime simply look at the millions that have already been digitised and are online. They certainly make fascinating reading for anyone. They’ve just released their 2011-2012 schedule, which includes over 100 different newspapers around Australia.You can view the currently available historical Australian newspapers online here. I can't wait for these to come online... saves me spending even more hours searching in libraries... just a small sample...
