The Bathurst Family History Group Inc. was founded in 1984 by a small number of people who wanted to help each other to make progress with their family history research.
Bathurst is the oldest inland settlement in Australia and is located about 200 km west of Sydney. This map shows the approximate area we cover.
Details of our meetings and events are published on our events page and in our journal ‘Carillon Chimes’ which is posted to all members and is available in the members only section of this website. The group holds formal meetings with a guest speaker and less formal research gatherings and workshops regularly in our Family History Centre.
All members have access to the group’s extensive range of resources including books and journals, microfiche and CD-ROMs in our Family History Centre. These premises have Wi-Fi connected, which enables members to use either their tablets, laptops or the Groups computers to connect to the internet. Initially the Family History Centre will be open to members Mondays and Thursdays 10am – 1pm . Other indexes and resources are available in the members only section of this website.
The Group has a research team at the Bathurst Library every Tuesday afternoon from 2pm to 4pm to assist members, and the public with their family history research.
If you would like to join our group, membership application details and sample information are available HERE
You are reminded that Membership fees of $25 are due for 2019/2020. See here for details
