Atherton Family History Group

This small group of history buffs, who meet at the Atherton Library, had a very successful year over 2013 with a number of workshops and lectures on family history and several outings filling the year.  Their last outing of the year being the Christmas party held at the Malanda Dairy Centre which attract a couple dozen members.  Unfortunately, the de-merger of the Shire Counicls has produced some problems for the group as Council staff who where based in Mareeba have moved up to the Atherton library and have taken over rooms which were been used by the history group.  It is hoped that this little upheaval will not be too troublesome in this new year.
