The Journal of Family History WA - Vol 14 No 8

The Journal has been posted.

The eJournal is available in our Members Only section.

YES, THERE’S lots about DNA in this issue, and our cover depicts Blaine Bettinger and Louise Coakley,

together with members of the DNA SIG about to climb our DNA Tower in Kings Park.

Blaine and Louise were in town to speak at the recent oneday DNA Down Under Seminar.

The 15 metre high DNA Tower was built on the highest part of the Park more than 50 years ago, in 1966.

The design is based on the famous double helix shape of the DNA molecule.

The South of the River house group meets in Willetton on the 1st Wednesday of every month except January.

New members are always welcome- no special commitment necessary,

Join a great group of family historians who are interested in researching their family, plus uncovering mysteries and overcomming brick walls along the way.

Check the South of the River House Group page for further information.

We produce 'Of Interest' documents that are relevant to family history - breaking news, free databases, opinion....every month a new page is attached to a meeting reminder.

I'll catch up on some of these to show that we have been busy since 2015!

Hoping to see you in 2020

Best wishes,

Louise
