Aftermath of World War 1 - The Australian Experience
After four years, the Great War ended in November 1918.  For Australians that fought in the war and survived, their battle had not ended.  Australia was faced with the largest number of wounded and mentally damaged men in its history and was far from being  equipped to assist them.  The National Archives is the home of the Veteran’s repatriation files that reveal in many cases what their lives were like after the war.  

Title War Brides in Australia
As a result of Australia’s involvement in various wars there were many romances between servicemen and women from countries where they were serving and often this lead to marriage. Many of the women they married migrated to Australia and this happened for both WWI and WWII.

How do you get better value out of the money you’ve paid for a DNA test?
This talk introduces the different DNA tests as well as some of the free tools available at GEDmatch.

Combining DNA with traditional genealogy
