Meet the Waitaki Society of Genealogists Committee

About

The Waitaki Society of Genealogists is a non-profit organisation that supports family history researchers in the Waitaki Region. We are dedicated to helping individuals uncover their family histories and preserve their heritage and we also promote local history through community education, helping people of all ages feel welcomed so that they can actively contribute to our community.

Our activities and services include:

Monthly Meetings: Join us on the 3rd Monday of each month at 7:30 pm for our regular meetings. These gatherings are a great opportunity to connect with fellow genealogy enthusiasts, share discoveries, and learn from expert speakers.
Research Assistance: Whether you’re just starting out or have hit a brick wall in your research, our experienced members are here to offer guidance and support. We provide access to a variety of resources, including historical records, databases, and specialized tools.
Workshops and Seminars: Enhance your genealogical skills through our educational workshops and seminars. These sessions cover a wide range of topics, from basic research techniques to advanced DNA analysis.
Community Projects: Participate in projects that help preserve and document local history. Our members work together to transcribe records, maintain archives, and contribute to the preservation of our community’s heritage.
Social Events: Enjoy social events and outings that allow members to bond and share their passion for genealogy in a relaxed and friendly environment.

By joining the Waitaki Society of Genealogists, you'll become part of a supportive community dedicated to exploring and preserving the stories of our ancestors. We look forward to welcoming you at our next meeting!

The Committee of the Waitaki Society of Genealogists meets on the first Wednesday of each month at a nondisclosed location. All members are welcome to come along and share in what we do. Members of the committee have been voted on for 2024/2025 year.
