NZSGenealogists Thames Branch

Carolyn from Thames

Lorraine Duffin will speak tomorrow, Wednesday 21st, at the NZ Society of Genealogists, Thames Branch’s final meeting of 2020. She will exhibit her colourful books and show us this interesting way of publishing photos and stories of our families. She has self-published numerous books and recently did one for each of her adult children, using photos from their babyhood until recently.
The books are published from your own selection of photos and texts and set up from templates of internet publishing houses. A relatively simple way to make lovely bound books to share with your immediate or extended families and friends. Later on, they can order extra copies online.
These are a great way to use both your heritage family photos and your most recent digitals. So, come and see how to create a family history album!

If you have already begun that journey by writing stories…there are a number of companies in New Zealand who are helping home publishers achieve lovely professionally bound books.

Wednesday 21st October, 9.30am at St James church hall, Pahau Street, Thames. All welcome, non-members $5.

What word sums up 2024, neighbours?

If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....

In one word, how would you define 2024?

We're excited to see what you come up with!
