Wherever your Italian family settled — Melbourne, Chicago, Buenos Aires — the records you need are still in Italy. Across four live online sessions you'll learn to locate, read, abstract and cite birth, death and marriage records in both civil and church collections, using Portale Antenati and FamilySearch. No Italian or Latin required.

Land records can place an ancestor in one particular spot, name their neighbours, and follow a property across generations. Over four hours across two live online sessions you'll learn how Crown land became private property, how to read the records, and where to look next — with real examples from across Australia.

This masterclass is about going beyond what you can find online. Across three days in the Reading Room at NSW State Archives you'll work with land, Colonial Secretary, court, divorce, inquest, insolvency, probate and education records, guided by archive staff and leading researchers — with dedicated time on your own families.
