Hawkesbury Family History Group

Interested in family history and discovering more? The Hawkesbury Family History Group is coordinated by the Hawkesbury Library Service.  Operating since 1982, regular meetings are held where like-minded people gather and learn more about genealogy.

The Hawkesbury Family History Group does not have its own facilities so researchers are encouraged to visit the Library’s Local Studies Collection which holds a wealth of material relating to family and local history.

The group regularly donates books and research tools for inclusion in the Local Studies Collection.  The group does not undertake research on behalf of others.

There are no membership fees and anyone interested in family history is welcome to attend meetings.
