Great news for family history researchers living in Western Victoria and the South-East of South Australia.  The 2019 VAFHO (Victorian Association of Family History Organisation) Expo will be held in Hamilton on Saturday 1 June 2019.

I’m excited because we rarely get such events in the west of the state and Hamilton is pretty much the centre of my family history universe. Plus, the expo will be held at my old school Monivae College, a great venue for such an event.

There will be guest speakers, exhibitors and more.  I attended the VAFHO 2013 conference in Ballarat and it was a well-run event with great speakers.  To get a feel for the range of speakers, topics and exhibitors that may attend the 2019 Expo, follow the link to the program from the 2018 Expo at Sale https://vafho.com/2018-sale-expo/  Of course, the program will be different at Hamilton and I’ll keep you updated on who’ll be there as we move closer to the date.  I can’t wait…
