Description: Express Shipping Worldwide is Free Lookin For Yor Mob - A guide to Tracing Aboriginal Family TreesBy Diane Smith and Boronia HalsteadPublished by Aboriginal Studies Press, Canberra, 1990First Edition, Signed and Inscribed by Diane Smith, and rare in any condition This volume is designed to assist any Aboriginal intending to compile their family tree / research their family history, and is more than just a primer providing extensive contact details, in particular the historical societies. “Aboriginal family tree researchers face special problems because written records can be hard to find, information is scattered everywhere, and many frustrating delays are encountered. Standard records kept for non-Aborigines were not always maintained for Aborigines. Also the close network of family ties has suffered under the impact of contact history and many survivors of this genocide are now reaching back into their pasts. White history has denied many Aboriginal people the answers to the questions; ‘Who are my relatives?’ and ‘Where do I come from?’ Lookin For Your Mob has been written for those who are searching for the answers.” A review extract attributed to Iris Clayton, ‘Wiradjuri Family History Researcher’, cited on the backcover states, “… As we Aboriginal people know, our family trees have been split, forgotten and pushed aside for far too long. This book doesn’t give you all the answers but it is packed with information and is a good place to start ...” In pictorial cardcover, in 132 pages. There is no shelfwear. There is no foxing.
