  Join us for a small members-only guided tour of the Library where you will get an overview of the services and resources available. 

  It’s a great way to find out what we have if you are a new member, or haven’t used the collections for a while.  Once you’ve explored the highlights of the collections you can stay on to do some research and get assistance from our wonderful volunteers.
  
  Why not make a day of it and come to our  in person lecture Beginners Introduction to DNA  being held in the Library prior to the start of the tour.

  Family History Connect | The Irish Archaeological Societies

  Our 'members-only' series, Family History Connect, feature themed sessions focusing on particular areas of genealogical research.

  Sessions are generally facilitated by one of the Society’s wonderful volunteers and this session will take place online.  These sessions are open to all current members of the Society. 

  

  The Irish Archaeological Societies

  There are many genealogical resources in several series of journals published in the late 19^th and early 20^th centuries in Ireland. Many of these are available on Internet Archive and copies are also in the SAG Library. Patrice Connelly will be your tour guide around Ireland as she visits societies in Kildare, Louth, Waterford and elsewhere to show you not only the genealogies, but also how the various types of histories – social, antiquarian, topographical and others – can enliven your genealogy research. There are a number of similar society journals published in Britain as well, so you can use the same techniques to visit those.

  This is a members only event that will take place via Zoom.
  

  Bookings are essential for this session.

  Family History Connect: Understanding YOUR YDNA Results

  Members only. Limited to 6 participants.

  This session of Family History Connect |  Understanding YOUR YDNA Results will be a virtual round table discussion/workshop offered online via Zoom and facilitated by Society volunteer, Chris Hingerty.

  Please note, this session also involves a one on one Zoom chat in the weeks prior to the session to prepare each participant for the round table discussion/workshop.

  By agreeing to be part of this session, you are aware that:

  • You will receive a follow up email after your registration asking you to email our facilitator, Chris, to arrange the one on one Zoom chat. 
  • This session is open to members who have already received their YDNA test results (Y37, or Y111, or Big Y 700) and want to discuss what the results are telling them and what to do next to achieve their research goals.
  • ALL participants must be prepared to share and discuss their results with the group during the round table discussion/workshop.
  • Participants do not need to know how to read or analyse their results, or how to share via Zoom as this will be demonstrated during the pre-workshop one on one Zoom chat.
  • Participants will introduce themselves at the workshop by responding to the following questions: Who did you test? Which test? Why test? What was your research question?
  • The workshop will focus on what the YDNA results are telling participants about their research question and what steps they will take next in their research.

  Please note that, due to privacy concerns, no recordings or screen shots can be taken during the workshop session.

  Prior to the session, in order to benefit from and be able to fully contribute to the discussion, participants are strongly encouraged to view the recording available in the Members Area, Webinar Library Using Y-DNA to Assist Your Research (Sept 2023) and/or attend (or watch the video recordings) the three part Understanding Y-DNA Webinar Series - https://sag.org.au/event-6070348
