Welcome to the GSV Member Forums

These Forums are for members of the Genealogical Society of Victoria (GSV) to post their genealogy queries and seek responses from other members.

This service is not a substitute for the research services available from the Society’s experienced volunteers via the website: Research Services  But here is a place where members can use their experiences of family history research to help each other.

The Society does not accept any responsibility for the information posted.  A Forum Post will be published as soon as it is submitted, but the Forum moderators will check the Post after publication and will remove or amend any unsuitable material.  Posts should comply with the GSV's Rules and Policies regarding ethics, privacy, and harassment (see GSV Policies).

A Test Forum is also available so that members can submit Forum Posts and Replies and become familiar with how to use the Forums.

GSV Members can now benefit from this online interaction with the whole membership.

Share, collaborate and enjoy!
