Family History
Evans Family 1934
Welcome
The aim of the Surf Coast Family History Group is to help our members research their family history. We are a non-profit organisation formed in 1999, staffed by volunteers, and are a sub-group of the Anglesea & District Historical Society.
Meetings
We meet on the second Thursday of the month from February to November at 10:00 am at Anglesea’s History House, with speakers on a variety of topics to suit the family historian. Please refer to the Upcoming Events list.
Journal
Up until December 2021 we published the Inverlochy Log (81 issues, July1999 to September 2021). Our family history news and articles are now included in the Historical Society’s Coastal Current. All issues of both publications are gradually being uploaded so that they can be searched and accessed on line.
Research
Our library and research centre for members’ use contains an extensive range of books, CD-ROMs, microfiche, and magazines, as well as Internet access. Experienced members are available to help beginners. Visitors are very welcome. We are currently open by appointment.
Your queries about Anglesea and district’s history, early families or houses are very welcome. If actual research is required, there is an up-front charge of $10 for up to an hour of research, and then $10/hour after that if further research on the topic is requested. Written reports can be provided, with photographs if available.
