In this presentation, Julie Goucher will expand our knowledge of what our gold mining ancestors did, where international gold mining took place and also when it took place as these factors could have an impact on how you trace missing ancestors.
We will explore what records are available and how to access them and how we can navigate the problems of transient gold mining folk.
