| 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. Stawell Biarri Group for Genealogy Inc.
The Management Committee is responsible for the business and affairs of the Group. Quarterly meetings are held at the Stawell Library during February, May, August and November. The President has power to call Special Meetings of the Management Committee. The Committee values input from Members so all members are welcome to attend Management Committee Meetings and to contribute to the debate but can not move or second a motion and are not entitled to a vote.
