Auckland Council Libraries and the Genealogical Computing Group  (an interest group of the NZ Society of Genealogists) proudly present a weekend-long event covering a wide range of topics on researching genealogy and family history.

2024 is the tenth anniversary of our first Expo and we plan to make it an extra special one in celebration.

Join us on Friday 9 August to Sunday 11 August 2024 at the Fickling Convention Centre , 546 Mt Albert Rd, Three Kings.

Take advantage of our free seminars, from beginner to advanced, computer-based tutorials, ask-an-expert sessions and research assistance on Saturday 10 August and Sunday 11 August. No booking required. Bring your laptops to take full advantage of the workshops and tutorials.
