Family History Research Day with Thames Branch NZ Society of Genealogists
Have you delved into your family history this winter? Are you ready to further your research?
Come along to Family History Research Day at St James Church Hall, Pahau St, Thames this coming Wednesday 18th August, 9am to 2pm.
The event is hosted by the Thames Branch of the NZ Society of Genealogists. Experienced researchers will be on hand to assist you with your family research, with the branch’s resources available for reference throughout the day. You can use the Branch’s computers or bring your own laptop.
We can help you with your research, be it Thames-, NZ-, Australia-, UK- or Ireland-based and we can assist with other areas as well. Discuss your dead ends with one of our Brick Wall Busters or be inspired to write up your family history by talking to members of our Genie Writers Group.
Guest speaker: Harriet Taylor, a researcher from Waihi Branch of NZSG, at 10.30 and 1pm. Harriet’s topics are “Crossing the Seas” and “North American Research”.
You are welcome to stay as long as you like or just pop in for a few hours. Admission $5. Tea and coffee provided, with cafes nearby, and there will be a raffle. We look forward to seeing you.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
