Committees at the Lake

The Lake Macquarie Family History Group is one of many volunteer organisations in our local government area. These organisations which provide much needed support to members of our community are organised and managed by committees of interested and committed community members.

In our Trove Tuesday post today we look at some of the people and organisations that have been active in our community in the past. Perhaps some of your ancestors served on local community committees.
