As a benefit to members, GSQ offers access to subscription websites from our resource centre computers.

Ancestry

Ancestry.com.au, Australia's leading family history website, offers members access to 930 million searchable Australian and UK family history records.

Launched in 2006, Ancestry's historical record collection reflects Australia’s multicultural heritage and enables members to explore their family’s history using Australian and international records including the convict and free settler lists, electoral rolls, passenger lists, English, Welsh and Scottish censuses, birth, marriage and death records as well as user-contributed family trees, and by connecting to millions of other members making their own discoveries.

Ancestry.com.au is part of a global network of Ancestry websites, which include Ancestry.co.uk in the UK, Ancestry.com in the U.S.and other sites worldwide.

GSQ has subscriptions to the global heritage package, which entitles members to access up to 6 billion family history records in the global network.

findmypast

findmypast.co.uk publishes around 750 million records in partnership with national repositories in the United Kingdom like the British Library and The National Archives, and with many regional record offices and family history societies. They also publish individual, niche collections of all sizes. Findmypast.co.uk contains the most complete census collection from 1841-1911, as well as the most complete collection of online BMDs (1837-2006).

findmypast.com.au currently offers subscription access to a collection of over 50 million historical records covering Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and the Pacific Islands. These are mainly family history records, but you'll also find thousands of social, government and general history records, which are of great interest not only to anyone researching their family tree, but also if you're interested in social and local history. New records are being added to the website all the time, by working in close partnership with leading expert organisations in Australian and New Zealand family history. In future we will be adding records from overseas working with our sister-site findmypast.co.uk.

GSQ has subscriptions to both collections.
