Welcome to the Home Page of the Bendigo Regional Genealogical Society. For your interest you will find here details of our meetings, library duty hours, research services and membership fees to join the group.

MEMBERSHIP

To become a member of our Society you are invited to fill out a membership request form and pay $25.00 which consists of an initial $5.00 joining fee and $20.00 annual membership fee for a single membership and $25.00 per year for a family membership. This will entitle you to receive copies of our "Golden Links" newsletter which is published three times a year, fiche hire for local members, and access to the many wonderful genealogical resources we have accumulated over the years. It also enables you to access our genealogical records which are held at the North Central Goldfields Library. Self research is free but volunteer researchers are available to help for a fee which is detailed in our Research link.

A print friendly membership application form can be found at this site and sent to the Society with the appropriate level of payment. It is available at :

MEETINGS

Meetings are held the last Thursday of each month (except December & January) at 7.30 pm. Venue has been changed to Kangaroo Flat Uniting Church Hall, Church Street Kangaroo Flat. There is parking available. Visitors are very welcome at our meetings also. We have guest speakers during the year and nights where members can ask questions about their own genealogical problems.

LIBRARY

The Society's records are accessible from 2-7 pm. each Monday at the North Central Goldfields Library, Hargreaves Street, Bendigo. Assistance is available at that time to provide access to society records and to assist with information to family historians and researchers.

RESEARCH


The Society will also undertake local research for those who are unable to visit the library in person. Contact the address above to request research from one of our volunteer researchers and remember to always enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope with any correspondence to the Society. Fees are charged at twenty dollars ($20) per basic enquiry or twenty dollars ($20) an hour for extensive searches - i.e. more than one surname - plus costs for photocopying, microfilm hire, printouts etc. Payment must be included with the research request. All research is done by volunteers and any funds raised assist the society to purchase new records for the benefit of all researchers.

Please do not email and request research through the email contact provided, as this contact is an administrative email contact and not for general research queries. All research requests must be made to the address above or you can print and complete the Research Request Form which is available at :
