Billions of Historical Records at your Fingertips
Gympie Family History Society now has popular genealogy programs for use in our rooms during opening hours.
You can use them to break down brick walls (term for when you get stuck during your family tree search) or learn more about ancestors who are overseas. You are no longer limited to just the Gympie and the Wide Bay regions.
Join us and start growing your family stories.
