Family History Research at Gisborne Library

Starting the journey of researching your whakapapa genealogy or looking to take it to the next level?

Look no further! On the first Tuesday of the Month from 1pm - 3pm join the clever team at Gisborne Family Research for a free family research session upstairs in the Gisborne Library.

Though not vital we recommend you bring a laptop with you if you can for any online family database research.

If you can't make it to these times know that the library has plenty of resources to help get you connected with your whakapapa genealogy, such as Birth Death and Marriage index, a selection of Gisborne newspapers on Microfilm, as well as free access to databases like Ancestry.com.
