Historic Land Records and House History Workshop
Have you run into a brick wall with your House History research project? Please join our expert guide who will explore the historical records of the NSW Land Registry Service (HLRV).
The session will be presented by SAG member, Jeff Madsen, who has had a long career in Information Technology using GIS (Geographic Information Systems) software to prepare maps for Government, private enterprise and family researchers. His interest in genealogy highlighted that maps and historical geography could be used to enhance a family tree or story to become more than just names and dates.
He has used the Historical Land Records Viewer (HLRV) since 1999 to access Parish Maps and, more recently, to research property owned by ancestors, greatly assisting the writing of family stories.
Please join us to unearth an exciting range of records such as historical maps, plans, titles, registers and indexes using this amazing tool.
