Talking about… Royal Connections

Queensland Family History Society

Can you claim a connection to British royalty or to royal estates?

Perhaps your ancestors lived near a royal address. If so, the local newspapers were quite different from other newspapers around the country.

Perhaps an ancestor signed a petition to the king. Is there a family rumour of a long lost royal ancestor and/or inheritance?

Where were your ancestors at the time of previous coronations?

Can you share any sources that have been useful to you? Nancy Edwards will host this session (NOT by royal warrant of appointment).

Please note. A “Talking About” session is a discussion group where everyone is expected to contribute through sharing their knowledge and experience, through asking questions and/or giving opinions and answers. It is not a presentation. It is open to all levels of experience, no question is too silly to ask!

This event will be held at 10am Queensland, Australia time (AEST, no daylight saving).
