This 1-hour talk and hands-on workshop is all about exploring the stories behind the heirlooms we inherit.

Whether it’s a locket, letter, or something more unusual, learn how to trace its history and unlock its meaning.

About the Presenter

Fiona Brooker’s family history journey started over 40 years ago with two 19th century marriage certificates taking her research into New Zealand, Australia, North America and the United Kingdom. While living in England, Fiona studied with the Institute of Heraldic and Genealogical Studies and obtained a Higher Certificate in Genealogy.

She’s a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists and the Professional Historians of Aotearoa New Zealand (PHANZA). She has served as both President and Treasurer of the New Zealand Society of Genealogists (NZSG) and organised multiple conferences and family history expos.

Memories in Time (www.memoriesintime.co.nz) grew from her desire to help others trace their family history. She is a speaker at international and national conferences and enjoys teaching practical workshops on family history, DNA and AI, in person and virtually.  Fiona works with clients to take their research from folders and their computer, into the hands of their family.
