The session will be presented by BBFHS member, Jeff Madsen, who has had a long career in Information Technology using GIS (Geographic Information Systems) software to prepare maps for Government, private enterprise and family researchers. His interest in genealogy highlighted that maps and historical geography could be used to enhance a family tree or story to become more than just names and dates.
He has used the Historical Land Records Viewer (HLRV) since 1999 and, more recently, to research property owned by ancestors, greatly assisting the writing of family stories.
Jeff is involved in digitising manuscript material for the Society of Australian Genealogists.
