Genealogy Support Sessions

We are happy to offer Genealogy Support sessions at our Waihī and Paeroa Libraries.

Volunteers from the Waihī Branch of the New Zealand Society of Genealogists are available to help anyone wanting to carry out family history research.

Paeroa sessions are on the last Saturday of the month, from 10 – 12 noon.

Waihī sessions take place on the second Wednesday of each month, from 10 – 12 noon.

This is a free, drop-in programme.

A computer will be reserved for these sessions to access our online resources. If you have a laptop or tablet you are welcome to bring that with you.
