2024 BOP Family History Month
Bay of Plenty libraries have collaborated to promote Family History Month across the Bay of Plenty and raise awareness of the resources our libraries have to offer those interested in researching their family history.
Come along and learn some tips and tricks to getting started, from the Western Bay of Plenty District Council in-house Archivist, Sandra Haigh, Community Heritage Services Co-ordinator.
