The conference will be held at Brisbane Technology Park, Eight Mile Plains from March 21-24. It is the first of its kind to be hosted by the leading Queensland family history society and will combine the 17th Australian Conference on Genealogy and Heraldry and the 5th History Queensland State Conference.

Our group is a Family Search Affiliate Library  Affiliate libraries have access to FamilySearch's digital genealogical collections that are otherwise accessible only through a FamilySearch center.

Courtesy of MyHeritage visitors to our Centre can now search their extensive range of resources. We also have subscriptions to Ancestry, FindmyPast and RootsIreland. Come in and let our volunteers help you use these databases. Bring a USB to save records from the databases.

Grateful thanks to those businesses who support our group.  Ongoing support is provided by Cooroy Computers.

Support these local businesses throughout 2025.
