October Computer Night - Immigration - a Group Project
Member's Only
A number of us have undertaken to research different aspects of Immigration - as sometimes it seems that our ancestors must have swum to wherever they went to. 
We will be looking at migration not only to Australia but
also to USA and Canada. Not only from the UK but also
from Europe. ​All GCFHS members are invited to attend, and share any information they may have that will help find elusive migrant family members.

Wednesday, 7:00 to 9:00 pm - 18 October 2023

Volunteering

The best things in life are free - like volunteers.
Pin your hopes on something good - a volunteer.
When you become a volunteer, you think about how it makes you feel, until you actually help someone and see how it makes them feel!
