Deniliquin Genealogy Society Inc. 

Tracing your family history can be an enthralling hobby. Getting started with your research can be overwhelming. It is always good to start with known facts and trace backwards. Write down everything you know about your family, talk to other members of the family and listen to their stories that can inform your search. For more help, call into the library on Fridays: 10am - 3pm (or by appointment) and chat to one of the Genealogy Society Members.
