GREAT SOUTHERN FAMILY HISTORY SOCIETY

We are a group of people with a common interest—genealogy.

We are curious about our ancestors, and we help others discover theirs.

We are a non-profit organisation. Our members provide our funding, and voluntarily give their time to provide our services.

We provide a resource library which genealogists can use to pursue their personal family history interests.

We promote genealogy and associated studies, and encourage others to pursue their own family history.

WHO ARE WE?

Genealogist’s Prayer

Lord, help me dig into the past,
And sift the sands of time,
That I might find the roots that made
This family tree of mine.

Lord, help me trace the ancient roads,
On which my fathers trod,
And led them through so many lands,
To find our present sod.

Lord, help me find an ancient book,
Or dusty manuscript,
That's safely hidden now away,
In some forgotten crypt.

Lord, let it bridge the gap that haunts
My soul, when I can't find
The missing link between some name
That ends the same as mine.
