Family History
Camden Library Service holds some information about local families in the Local Studies Collection, including pioneer registers, family histories and cemetery records.
For detailed information and assistance about specific local families, Camden Area Family History Society (CAFHS) may be able to assist. CAFHS use a room off the Local Studies Room in Camden Library staffed by volunteers with their own opening hours.
