The Queensland Family History Society has been helping people trace their family history in Queensland and throughout Australia and the world since 1979.

Volunteer With Us

Volunteer

From its beginnings in 1979, Queensland Family History Society has been entirely volunteer-run.  The enthusiasm and dedication of its many volunteers over the years have created one of Australia’s leading genealogical societies.

Volunteers are acknowledged on a regular basis, culminating each December with a Volunteers Thank You Morning Tea.

You can help us as we continue to educate, inspire and connect people through family history.  The society’s wide range of activities ensures that there are many ways for volunteers to find their niche;  from very practical tasks to highly technical and research-oriented.
