Family History Research Day with Thames Branch NZ Society of Genealogists

Carolyn from Thames

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.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
