Hobart Branch, Tasmanian Family History Society Inc

We are the Hobart branch of the Tasmanian Family History Society, a non-profit, non-sectarian, non-political organisation formed in 1980.

We foster research into family history with a focus on Tasmania.

Membership is open to anyone interested in genealogy, local history, heraldry and related topics.

The society as a whole has grown to around 1200 members mostly Tasmanian residents but many in all Australian states, New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States and elsewhere.

Our research centre and administration is located at the "Old Bellerive Post Office".

Our research centre holds a wide range of resource material, some not available anywhere else, on microfiche, hard copy papers and books, CDs and computers, available to the Library’s patrons.

The society has no paid employees. We rely almost exclusively on volunteers to provide all services including regular branch newsletters, a quarterly society magazine Tasmanian Ancestry, and publications and databases produced through many history research projects.
