Researching Tasmanian Family History has been made easy with the launch of
the new Family History Portal.

The new Family History Portal at www.statelibrary.tas.gov.au/familyhistory
provides a single access point for the wide range of family history
resources and courses available across the Community Knowledge Network.

The redeveloped web pages indentify the wide range of resources and services
provided by the Tasmanian Archive and Heritage Office, State Library of
Tasmania and Adult Education including birth, death and marriage data,
convict records, wills, arrivals, departures, cemetery and military records
and other information sources providing information about the lives of
Tasmanians as well as links to find information on relatives from interstate
and other countries.

With so many resources already digitised, the Family History Portal enables
access to many Tasmanian records with a click of the mouse and for those
resources that are not yet digitised the portal provides information on how
they can be accessed.

To help people who are just getting started in family history research, the
portal provides a beginners' guide to family history research as well as
downloadable forms to help keep track of the research records you have
accessed which are useful for beginner and established researchers alike.

Explore Tasmania's rich history and heritage online and discover something
new about your background at the Family History Portal.
