Caloundra Family History 2025 Events

As we start 2025, several events have already been planned. If you look at this page in the future, it is easy to see that we run numerous events every month. This page will become a summary of the key events in 2025. These include speakers, training, events that support local heritage and history, trips to other family history societies, archives and libraries, and more.

In addition to the many events we hold each year, we run monthly Interest Group Meetings for members of Caloundra Family History to advance their research. You can find out when Interest Groups are being held on our calendar, or for a specific Interest Group, click the image at the bottom of the page, and a list of future meetings will appear.
