The Aboriginal History WA (AHWA) team from the Department of Creative Industries, Tourism and Sport, together with staff from the Western Australian Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages, will visit Halls Creek, Warmun, Wyndham and Kununurra from 8 to 11 September.

The sessions will introduce participants to State Government records and other historical collections that can help them trace their family history. These resources include personal files, mission records, station records and other archival materials that may hold valuable information about individuals, families and communities.

Attendees will learn about AHWA's free family history research service, including how to apply for assistance and begin a family history research request. Registry staff will also provide information on obtaining birth, death and marriage certificates, identification requirements and other services available through the Registry.

The sessions are designed to help people access historical records, reconnect with family stories and gain a deeper understanding of their personal and community histories.
