Caloundra Family History 2024 Events

As another year starts Caloundra Family History is well underway planning events for 2024. If you are looking at this page, in the future, it is easy to see we run numerous events every month. This page will become a summary of the key events in 2024. These include speakers, training, events that support local heritage and history, trips to other family history societies, archives and libraries and more.

We also hold numerous Interest Group Meetings monthly for Caloundra Family History members to advance their research.
