Interest Groups

Special Interest Groups

A number of groups - available to members and visitors - meet regularly at our Research Centre and Zoom for mutual support, updates, help and discussion about their particular areas of research. All groups provide opportunities for members to meet others, with similar family history interests, where research and stories can be shared in a community atmosphere.

Bookings and payment can be made online, however, non-members are asked to do so no later than 24 hours prior to the meeting to enable a Zoom link to be emailed for attendance. For the computer software programs groups is it helpful to bring a laptop but certainly not necessary. Wearing a name tag is advisable. Session cost $5 for both members and visitors.
