WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Western Australia has a short but intriguing history, during this time we have seen early pioneers forge a new life in a untamed land, followed by settlers, convicts, pensioner guards and gold miners all looking for a new beginning.

Looking for Western Australian ancestors, whether it is to fill in a gap in your family tree or to start from the beginning, we can help. Cherie and Lorraine have a combined 53 years knowledge of the holdings in the State Records Office, Battye Library, National Archives and Western Australian Genealogical Society, Royal WA Historical Society, having conducted talks on "Beginning your Family History" (for WAGS) and "Family History in the State Records Office of WA" (on behalf of the SRO).
