Welcome to the
 Melton Family History Group Inc. 

Our group meets on the second Thusday of every month (except January) 7PM sharp in the Meeting Room at the Melton Library, McKenzie St Melton


Melton Family History Group Inc. was formed in 1994 to satisfy the needs of people in Melton who were researching their family histories and who wanted to share their discoveries, their problems and the expertise they had developed.  An active group, members represent the diversity that makes modern Australia - with interests covering Germany, Holland, Scandinavia, Britain, North America, New Zealand, the Islands of the Pacific, as well as all Australian states

Resources

The recent addition to the Melton Library of a Local and Family History Collection has made the researching of our families more convenient to undertake.  The Library, in conjunction with Melton Family History Group, has worked towards providing a comprehensive and valuable resource.  An extensive microfiche and CD ROM collection and a wide range of books enable our members and the public to pursue most avenues of their research locally.  The collection receives yearly funding and as a result of this, it is constantly expanding.  There are indexes available from the Library for both the Microform & CD ROM collection and the Local & Family History Book collection and these are updated as needed.

Membership

Melton Family History Group welcomes new members.  Membership costs $11.00 per year and members receive a periodical newsletter, Branches, with interesting articles and information on our calendar, as well as a monthly What's On newsheet filled with news of our meetings and other info.  We invite our members to contribute articles to both Branches & What's On.
 
The Melton Family History Group meets on the 2nd Thursday of the month (except January) in the Meeting Room of the Melton Library. The Committee meets on the 2nd Tuesday of every Month (except January). Members are also in attendance in the Local & Family History area at the Melton Library every Wednesday from 10 am to 12 pm to assist others with their Family History enquiries.
