This guide is designed to help with family history research and provides suggestions for resources from other institutions and organisations.

Community members with research skills in local and family history who are very adept at finding sources are available to give advice and guidance in your searching.

There is a charge for FHANQ's services, but they are able to dedicate time to helping you with your project.
