Family History Week 1-9 August 2009

National Family History Week is an initiative of AFFHO (Australasian Federation of Family History Organisations). This popular initiative has received broad support from some of Australia’s leading government and non government organisations.

During the week events will be conducted across the country that focus on genealogy, family history, heraldry and related subjects including family reunions, seminars, talks, open days, history walks, book launches, film evening and expos.

More information is available at the National Family History Week web site and from this brochure.

Maitland City Library has a number of resources for the family history researcher, with genealogy books an ideal starting point for the new researcher.
