Family history service
Our family history service can provide you with advice on where to find information as well as suggest resources to help you with your research. Speak to a family history librarian on Lower Ground 2 of the State Reference Library.
To use our collections and services, sign up for a Library card online or visit us.
We have listed below some of the ways you can start your research.
