What's In a Name? With Anne Brady

Are your surnames making your family history research difficult? Let Anne show you how to find them in this HeritageTalk.

Why can't you find your names when searching through online databases? Anne will give us lots of ideas on how to search for elusive ancestors using surname variants. You will get a lot more from the session if you bring along a piece of paper headed with columns of your ‘brick wall’ names.

Bio: Anne Brady has been doing genealogy off and on for over thirty years. Being addicted to books and reading, one of her most favourite parts is the background reading which opens up our ancestor's lives. She is a volunteer for the New Zealand Society of Genealogists, as well as a member and previous New Zealand Representative of the Guild of One Name Studies .
