Queensland's First Genealogical Society
Members are encouraged to become actively involved in one or more of the many projects that the Society undertakes from time to time. These projects are for the purpose of creating resources for the Society by collating and compiling some of the vast amounts of local knowledge and history. These resources when produced for sale in book, microfiche or computer format provide funds for additional research resources for the Society.
As many of the projects are ongoing new data is constantly being added and it is advisable to check the resources from time to time. The Society is most appreciative of the time and effort that the volunteer Members of the Society put into the various Projects.

The database includes names, dates of birth, death and marriages for the workers and their spouses as well as their work details.
If you have family, or know of others, who have worked on the Railways in Queensland, and wish to submit genealogical and work details for the Railway Worker, please complete and mail a Mine Workers Muster form to the Secretary.
