| About Us |
The Group was formed in 1987. At that time the Victorian government had proposed adoption of aboriginal names for the Grampians (Gariwerd) and Halls Gap (Budja Budja) and the group's founders thought it appropriate to include the aboriginal word "Biarri", which means to search or to hunt, in its name. So the "Stawell (Biarri) Group of the Genealogical Society of Victoria" was formed. The name was later changed to "Stawell Biarri Group for Genealogy Inc.". The word "Biarri" is pronounced bee-ah-ree.
The Stawell Biarri Group for Genealogy Inc. is a Member Society of Genealogical Society of Victoria Inc.and has about 70 members dedicated to genealogy and family history research in the Stawell district and throughout the world. The group provides a range of services, including a very economical research service.
