Immigration journeys - livestream presentation

Next date: Thursday, 20 August 2026 | 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM

Join us at Kiama Library for a livestream presentation for Family History Month from the State Library of NSW, exploring the many reasons people chose or were compelled to make Australia their new home.

From assisted migrants and gold rush hopefuls to convicts and families following loved ones, every immigration journey left a unique trail of records that can help tell the story of an ancestor's life. Understanding why someone came to Australia can provide valuable clues about where to search and what records may exist.

This Family History Month, discover how migration patterns shaped the historical records available today and learn how immigration stories can add depth and context to your family history research.

This is a FREE Family History Month event, register online.
