Queensland Family History Society



Look-up Service

This service is available to members only. You may submit one short Look-up request on the form provided on the Society’s website.

The research time for a Look-up request is limited to 20 minutes. The Research Team Coordinator will advise if an Extended Research is required. Requests will be answered in order of receipt.

Please provide as much information as you can, and, if applicable, those sources you have already consulted.

We suggest you use this service for specific enquiries in specific indexes or record series—for example, finding a specific person in one of the English censuses, or finding a specific person in one of Queensland Commonwealth Electoral Rolls.

You may submit one Look-up request at a time. You may submit another Look-up request when the current Look-up request is answered. 


Extended Research Service

The Queensland Family History Society Inc. (QFHS) encourages family historians to conduct their own research by visiting the Gaythorne Library and Resource Centre. When this is not possible, QFHS offers limited research assistance to members and non-members. A Research Team will undertake the research at the Library and Resource Centre.

  • The Extended Research Service is available to members of QFHS at $20 per hour and to non-members at $40.00 per hour

  • Members of QFHS who live further than 50 km from the Brisbane GPO are entitled to two (2) hours free research per year

  • The Research Team will provide the result of the search undertaken including a list of the sources checked both successfully and unsuccessfully

  • Where appropriate, the Research Team may suggest details of further avenues of research

  • The Research Team will answer all enquiries in the order received; turnaround time for research is usually 3-4 weeks

  • A request for the Extended Research Service should be made by post. Please complete this form

  • Payment for the research must be made in advance by cash, cheque, money order, or credit card (Visa or Mastercard).
