GSQ would like to invite anyone interested in Genealogical Research to attend the

2nd and 4th Wednesday nights, via Zoom

If you cannot get to GSQ; or working during the day; unable to attend the other Zoom meetings; and just want a bit of help with your research, then the Wednesday nights might be just what you are looking for.

A NURSE IN THE FAMILY     

Training as a nurse was one way unmarried women in Australia and overseas could earn
a living in a suitable manner.          
This presentation will explain how nursing grew as a respectable profession in Australia.
Marg will use nursing and other records to trace your family nurse.

Maybe you know of someone who was a nurse in your family or you might have been one yourself. Come and join us and find out more.

Presenter:
Marg Doherty

Margaret was a government auditor followed by a career in health policy and programs. In her 20s she commenced her family history research following the lives of her Scottish and Irish great-grandparents. She has been a GSQ member for many years and was President.

The meeting is hosted by Ailsa Corlett, and it is a self help group in which you pose your questions or problems and others within the group offer their ideas, web sites, books and knowledge on where next you might go to find your answers.

The 4th Wednesday of the month is for a Guest Speaker to talk in relation to specific topics.
