An AncestryDNA update is on the way. But before your results change, have you saved a copy of what they look like now?

In this week’s Ancestry Unpacked tip, Fiona looks back at how much her own DNA results have changed since she first tested in 2018, and shows you a simple way to keep a record of your results over time.

After all, we’re family historians. Perhaps we should be keeping a little history of our own DNA results too!

Our Members enjoyed a fantastic day with Appin Historical Society Inc Australia in their Museum.

What a 💎gem💎 of a place!

Telling the story of Appin in pieces donated by local families. We were entertained by the talk about some of the important events and people of Appin, bushrangers, farmers and ghosts!👻
They have closed their doors, but we look forward to seeing visiting again their new space, when it is built.

Lunch was enjoyed at Appin Hotel and for a few, treats were found at Appin Bakery!

I think we will need to get to a Ghost Tour!!
