• Thursday 22nd January, 2009
• 5.00pm  NOTE NEW MEETING TIME
• Speaker:  Linda Emery
• Topic:  Who Do You Think You Are?  Dennis Cometti
• In January last year, SBS Television screened the first Australian series of the popular TV Genealogy series, Who Do You Think You Are? In tracing the family history of sports commentator Dennis Cometti, the trail led to Sutton Forest and a well known local family. Part of this episode was filmed in the Southern Highlands and in the archives of the Society in Mittagong. Archivist Linda Emery was involved in this episode and is currently working as a researcher on the second Australian series to be screened later in 2009. Linda will give a short background to the series and the story, followed by a screening of the very interesting and beautifully filmed Dennis Cometti episode.
