Subject: [GEN-EVENTS-L] Family Tree Day at Oxfordshire Record Office
Date: Thu, 30 May 2002 20:15:25 +0100

Hi listers

Saturday 8 June 2002 marks the first Family Tree Day at the Oxfordshire
Record Office. This will be a family history extravaganza not to be missed.
Hosted by the staff of the record office in conjunction with the Oxfordshire
Family History Society, the day will have numerous attractions including :-

1. Computer demonstrations by some of the members of the society's Computer
Group. Topics likely to be covered include family history on the internet,
family history data on CD and genealogy computer packages.

2. The chance to browse and make purchases from the society's extensive
bookstall.

3. The opportunity to make purchases of microfiche from the society without
incurring those irritating postal charges.

4. The society's computerised search services and newly computerised birth
brief index will also be available for consultation.

However, probably the best feature of Family Tree Day will be the
opportunity for family historians to consult prime records of relevance to
their research with an expert at their elbow. The record office searchroom
will be open as usual, and this will enable the researcher to review a
particular record, and to discuss their problems and findings with members
of the society committee and other experienced family historians. We can't
guarantee that visitors will leave the venue with a complete pedigree back
to William the Conqueror, but nevertheless we hope that the day will prove
to be an enjoyable and thought-provoking event.

Family Tree Day will be held on Saturday 8 June 2002 at :-

Oxfordshire Record Office
St Luke's
Temple Road
Cowley
Oxford
OX4 2EX
