What's On - Friday 4 September - Thursday 10 September


It's time to take a moment and plan the week ahead in all things family history/local history in Brisvegas.  

National Family History Month might be over but there's still plenty on for you to enjoy.  

If you missed GeniAus' fantastic finale to NFHM 2015 on Sunday last - you can catch up on the 12 hour GeneaGala Hangout marathon here.

Friday 4th September



The North Brisbane Branch of GSQ holds its meetings on the first Friday morning of each month (except January) at the Brisbane North Area Scouting Centre at 23 Sicklefield St Alderley. Doors open at 8.45 am. North Brisbane Members are able to borrow from our extensive library of books, magazines, fiche and CDs for a small fee.



The Family Tree Maker (FTM) User Group shows members in a user-friendly way what they can achieve using the program to display their family trees. At our meetings we discuss a topic related to FTM. For example, the topic may be Reports: how they are made up and how users can set them up. Your suggestions or questions about the day's topic (or anything else about FTM) are welcome.
