Hi Everyone,
The Western Australian Genealogical Society is hosting the 9th Australasian
Congress on Genealogy and Heraldry in Perth, Western Australia. It will be
between 27 September - 1 October 2000.

The theme, "Let Records Speak", encompasses the past, the present and the
future. For the Genealogist, records are all important - where to locate
them and how best to preserve and use the information so vital in family
history research.
It will focus on
Yesterday: Traces of the Past
Today: Capturing the Present
Tomorrow: Looking Ever Forward

We can now announce our Keynote and some of our Main speakers. Also our
webpage has Lecture Titles and some abstracts. More will be added shortly.
Keynote Speakers.
Rosemary Bigwood - Scottish Research
Michael Gandy - Religious Records
Col. Iain Swinnerton - Military Records and Heraldry
