Once you have some clues about your immediate ancestors the State Library has a range of resources which might help.
These include:
The State Library of South Australia is a legal deposit library, so it is a legal requirement for publishers of books, and other materials published in South Australia, to supply one copy to the Library.
To find whether another researcher has written a history of your family, search the Library catalogue by choosing 'subject', then type your family name followed by the word 'family'.
We also have many online resources, freely available to researchers visiting the Library.
Besides South Australian families, we can also help you search for interstate and overseas families.
