Finding Families

The State Library of Victoria is conducting another of their “Finding Families” workshops. 
The State Library offers a wealth of expertise and information for experienced family historians and those just starting out on the journey, including newspapers, databases, letters, diaries and manuscripts, maps, passenger lists and electoral rolls. You'll find all the inspiration and resources you need to research your family's past.
Start to build your family tree in this helpful workshop – learn the principles of family history, access research resources and tour the Family History collection, and it is recommended for beginners.
The workshop will be held at the State Library, 328 Swanston Street in Melbourne, (on the corner with La Trobe Street) on 23rd May 2017, 10:30am–12:30pm (meet in the Library’s front foyer)
The event is free, but bookings are required, and can be made online at Finding families
Phone: 03 8664 7099

  1. Thank you for this reminder. I am interested to know of anyone who has recollections or photographs of my great uncle, John Brown GRAHAM, who was Stationmaster at Mornington Junction (1906-1912), Richmond (1914-1916), Minyip (1917), Rochester (1918-1919) and at Donald (1924-1928).
