If you’ve been watching those TV shows that ask, Who Do You Think You Are?, this is a chance to see for yourself how to go about finding your own family history.
The Heritage Centre in Cooroy is holding an open day plus mini-market day featuring a plant and jam sale on Saturday 11 May from 8.30am to noon. The centre is located at 17 Emerald Street, Cooroy.
Volunteers will be at the centre to show visitors all the resources available to do family and local history research.
The Heritage Jams and Chutneys are home-made by members and are famously delicious! The sales of plants – all grown by the members – have supported the organisation for a quarter century.
This organisation of avid family history buffs has grown from friends meeting at one member’s house to becoming the Cooroy-Noosa Genealogical and Historical Research Group, with over 130 members, housed in a purpose-built modern research centre and library that is open for the community to use.
The Heritage Centre is open from 9.30am to 1pm on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Joining is inexpensive and includes many benefits including research, special functions and expert assistance.
Call 3129-0356 in the above office hours. More information can be found on the website at genealogy-noosa.org.au
