Cairns Family History Centre is open for your family history research needs. We are trialling opening on Saturdays – why not pop in and say hello? Check our Opening Hours page for details.
We hold burial records for McLeod Street Pioneer Cemetery. We have undertaken extensive research on both the marked and unmarked graves, and produced detailed stories of those buried there. Have you checked our index for your ancestor?
Search our exclusive British Ceylon Widows & Orphans Fund Application index, which includes great detail on some families, including changes over time. Read how these records helped our indexer Larry’s research into his wife’s Anderson family.
Our Family History for Beginners workshops are the ideal way to learn how to start exploring your ancestry. Or visit us during opening hours for assistance.
Use your saliva to reveal your ethnicity, solve the toughest family mysteries, connect with biological relatives, and add new branches to your family tree.
