Calling for journal articles – Hervey Bay Family History Association Inc.

Did you know the Hervey Bay Family History Association Inc.  works out of the Fraser Coast Libraries' Hervey Bay branch.

 A partnership with this group of dedicated volunteers has been successfully running for 16 years. The volunteers have access to a plethora of family history data bases and will help with queries from the public for free. Seven computers are available to search the data bases as well.

The association is calling for any articles they can put into their digital journal on Family History. If you have done any research on a family history, please submit an article so this can be shared with other enthusiasts.

Another great initiative of the Family History Association is genealogy classes.
