Service Now Available at QFHSInc.

research. Simply order through our society for viewing
on the new film reading machines. Records to assist your
searches include Census, Parish Records, Bishops’
Transcripts, Cemeteries and lots more. Researchers who
have visited the LDS family research centres in the past
will be very familiar with the LDS and their vast
resources.

per film for one’s month viewing as many times as you
wish
For records in a language other
than English, you pay $9.00 per film and have reading

Special
Appeal for Indexing Help
Commonwealth Electoral Roll (Queensland) 1959 - 100
years on.
QFHS Publications Committee is appealing
to all members for assistance with this special project
to coincide with the celebrations of 150 years of the
State of Queensland in 2009.
All you need is enthusiasm and a spreadsheet program.
Don't worry if you are a one finger typist and may be
too slow as many of our current indexers just use one
finger. Instructions and an example will be given to
each indexer - the team is always available to answer
any questions you may have.
Just one bundle (20 pages) by each member would see us
reach our target of publication in 2009. Can you
contribute a page of indexing per day (60 names, address
and occupation) for just 3 weeks to enable us to
complete this significant project?
We currently have a dedicated team of indexers but to
complete this project on time a much larger group will
be required. So if you think you would like to help your
society and contribute to the Q150 Celebrations please
contact the Publications Committee at: indexing@qfhs.org.au

New Members' Welcome and
Orientation ^
Not-So-New Members get Recycled... For several
years QFHS has conducted "welcome" sessions for new Society
members. The aim of these sessions has been to -
- make new members feel more at home
- help them find their way around our considerable
collection of resources, and
- identify important records by knowing, for example, how
to access our catalogue on computer, what the GRD and the
BIGR are, or why they should lodge their pedigree chart
ASAP.
We invite EVERYONE to attend
an orientation session, especially new members to the Society.
This includes members who have never attended one, no matter
when they joined, as well as members who have attended and
wish to come again. Sessions last about three hours.
This is a FREE OFFER that you can't
afford to miss!! Scheduled dates are -
