Founded
  • 1997

The Tweed Gold Coast Family History & Heritage Association was formed in 1997, as the Twin Towns Family History Group, by a small number of like minded people, keen to have a family history research centre in Tweed Heads. Since that time we have steadily grown, with current membership around the 200 mark. In 2005, to better reflect our membership area, we changed our name to the current one.
