The Heritage Centre at 17 Emerald Street Cooroy, is holding an open day plus mini-market day featuring a plant and jam sale on Saturday 10 May from 8.30am to 2pm.
Everyone has ancestors with interesting stories waiting to be uncovered and with a bit of guidance and the right tools you can bring those stories to life.
A great place to start or continue your ancestral journey is at the Heritage Centre, run by the Cooroy-Noosa Genealogical & Historical Research Group.
Delicious home crafted Heritage Jams and Chutneys lovingly made by members will be on sale along with a selection of plants, all grown by the members.
Visitors are invited to the centre where volunteers will be available to answer questions about the group and show the resources available at the centre to undertake family and local history research.
The organisation was formed in 1996 by a group of friends who shared a keen interest in family history and that small group has now grown to over 130 members.
In January 2016 the group moved into their purpose-built Heritage Centre that contains a modern research area, meeting space and family history research library that is open for the community to use.
The Heritage Centre is open to the public from 9.30am to 1pm on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. You can drop in for a free session. Membership provides great value for money access to the research facility and library as well as special functions and expert assistance.
Call 3129-0356 in the above office hours. More information can be found on www.genealogy-noosa.org.au
