Caloundra Family History Research is a not-for-profit organisation and has Registered Charity status and was founded in May 1993.

‘Learning about family history also teaches us a lot about ourselves.’

The group welcomes all people with little to no experience in researching their ancestors, to those who have already ventured into this fascinating world of history, folklore, myths and secrets.

The Society’s Mission is to:

• Encourage and promote the study of genealogy and the history and heritage of the Caloundra area.
• Make records and indexes of monumental inscriptions, honour boards, church and cemetery registers and other historical sources from the Caloundra are and Queensland.
• Hold regular meetings and educational workshops to assist members and non-members.
• Develop and extend, through acquisition, the holdings of a reference and research library.
• Interact with similar groups and societies on a National and International basis by sharing knowledge and information for the benefit of the community at large.

The Society’s library offers an up-to-date and comprehensive collection which includes all manner of printed material and books, CD’s, microfiche, journals and computers.

They provide regular education sessions by way of On-Screen Demonstrations, access to genealogy websites, workshops, seminars and classes on family history. And, they offer monthly general meetings to members where guest speakers share their knowledge and research expertise.

They also offer research and project support and courses on demand.
