About Us

The Phillip Island & District Genealogical Society Inc. first became incorporated in 1991.  

• The purpose of this society is “to promote, foster and practice all aspects of genealogical study”. 

• This organisation is a "not for profit" organisation run by volunteers.
   
• Over the years the society has accumulated (by purchase or by donation) thousands of records on microfiche & CDs and has a library of books, catalogues and registers to assist community members wishing to research their family history.
   
• We run workshops for the community and volunteers run the research rooms and assist researchers.
   
• We also conduct research and have a range of research packages available.
   
• We produce a quarterly publication “Reflections”
   
• Committee Meetings are held once a month.                                                                                              
• Workshops are held regularly on topics of interest eg. Family Tree Maker, Brick Walls and Trove.
