For all those who love family history research and live on Bribie Island and surrounds in Queensland
Bribie Family History Association is for people interested in genealogy and family history.
We meet at the RSL ANZAC Room on the 1st Friday of the month.
From February to December, from 9:15 am to 11:30 am.
Annual membership fee applies.
Visitors welcome, 1st visit free.
Workshops are held occasionally for specialised subjects. Details of any upcoming events are on the 'Meetings and Workshops' tab. These are usually half day or full day events which have an additional (low) charge. Members receive a discount on this charge.
Formed in February 2023 as an Incorporated Association, this small but active group supports members on Bribie Island and the surrounding districts in advancing their family history research through regular meetings, guest speakers, and periodic workshops that delve deeper into research methodology.
Our next meeting will be held on Friday 6th March at Bribie RSL Anzac Room at 9:15am.
Our guest speaker for this meeting is Suzanne Mulligan(pictured).
The topic of her talk is:
“How Oral History can augment Family History”.
Suzanne Mulligan is a Freelance Professional Oral Historian. She completed a Bachelor of Arts at University of Queensland in 2001, majoring in Journalism and Political Science.
She’s been a member of Oral History Queensland for about 30 years and she was made a Life Member in 2009. She has done more than 40 oral histories many of which have been donated to the State Library of Queensland. Suzanne is passionate about collecting important stories that would otherwise never be heard.
I am sure most of us have part of our history in memories told to us by previous generations. I know I have.
We look forward to seeing you all there.
Annual BFHA Membership is $30.00 for a single and $50.00 per couple.
Note that 2026 memberships start from the February 6 meeting and any members who have not renewed and are wanting to continue, please note that fees are due now.
