Cairns & District Family History Society

The Society is now seeking actors for the 2017 production of 'Shadows of the Past'.  'Shadows' is a set of dramatised walks through the McLeod Street Pioneer Cemetery presented by CDFHS.  The Society use community actors who take on a role of one of the pioneers to tell their life story.  The walk is accompanied by members of the Cairns Brass band who provide music to suit the story.  All ages and experience are welcome to participate in this unique experience.  Rehearsals will commence on the 5th June with performance dates throughout August.  The Easter raffle has just been drawn so call in to see if your ticket is a winner.  If you are in Cairns and you are interested in learning how DNA testing can confirm your family history research, help with brick-walls or help to identify biological relatives, call in to the Drop-In DNA Clinic or make a visit to the Drop-In Genealogy Clinic which is held on each second Saturday of the month.
