You can find out all about your ancestors, be they royalty or
paupers, by using the Library’s genealogy and family history
resources. The Library's Genealogy Centre contains a wide range
of family history information. In the Centre, you can discover
when your grandparents arrived in Australia or find out about a
distant relative who was a convict. You can look up directories,
electoral rolls, birth, death and marriage indexes, passenger
lists, the Ancestry and Findmypast databases and much more. We
also host events and training for those interested in family
history. Beginners to genealogy may be interested in attending
one of our free genealogy workshops. Each year we run the Family
History Feast, a day-long seminar for genealogists. You can also
watch and listen to many past family history events online. For
help with your research, check out our family history research
guides.
