Queensland Family History Society Open Day

August is National Family History month.  This year Queensland Family History Society is having an Open Day - Links in a Chain, on Saturday 12 August at our library and resource centre, 58 Bellevue Avenue, Gaythorne.  From 10 am to 3 pm.  To celebrate each day in August we also have an online event happening.  31 Links in a Chain, 31 days, 31 stories, 31 links in a chain. Each day in August a new story will be posted on our website www.qfhs.org.au. Each story celebrates finding a missing family link, re-forging family links and celebrating new family.  A highlight from each story will go out via our facebook page. Family history is not just about the past it is about now, about recording our family stories and Queensland towns, places and historic families and events for future generations. Family is the link that connect us with the past and the present.  Recording our stories and history to preserve them for the future, acknowledging our Queensland historic family, places and events and the contribution they have made to us today.
