Learn Genealogy with the Genealogical Society of Victoria

Next date: Monday, 02 February 2026 | 01:30 PM to 03:00 PM

David Down and Jenny Scammell from The Genealogical Society of Victoria will talk about methods of researching your family history in Australia and overseas. There will be plenty of time to answer your questions at the end of the presentations.

David, the Leader of the GSV Education Team, will use aspects of his own family history research as a case study to illustrate how to track down information that places your ancestors in their correct historical context.

Jenny, an expert in the use of DNA tracing, will explain how DNA is used in ancestry tracing and what test results tell you about your family. She will address the testing options available and the privacy and security issues involved to help you decide whether to undertake DNA testing.
