Welcome to Logan River Family History Inc.

We are a friendly group of people from the Logan area who like to research and preserve the history of our ancestors and the area we now call home.  Some of our members have links to the early European settlers in the district and so have valuable family history to share. Others have moved here in more recent times and bring with them customs and stories from different cultures from all over the world.

Research Rooms

Our research rooms are open on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, from 9.30 am to 1.30 pm, but not on public holidays.
Please do not attend our rooms if you or your close contacts have experienced a fever, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath.

As a financial member you have free access to Ancestry, Find My Past, and our library.  Also, members can choose to help with research work, preparing publications and collating family histories in many different forms, mostly involving the Logan area. Our rostered Librarians can help you with your research, especially if you hit a 'brickwall'.  Visitors are welcome to use Family Search for no cost, however, there is a non-member charge to access our records

We have reciprocal rights with Redland Genealogy Society  https://rgs.net.au

We have visiting speakers at some of our meetings and periodically plan group day trips to interesting history related sites. Library hours and meeting times can be found here.
