A tartan-clad bagpiper welcomed visitors to the monthly meeting of the Hibiscus Coast Branch of the NZ Society of Genealogists on May 17. The meeting’s Scottish theme was in honour of visiting staff from the Waipu Historical Museum, who were there to talk about the emigration of Scottish ancestors who settled in Waipu.
More than 65 members of the Hibiscus Coast branch attended the meeting, with several remote visitors by Zoom, and many family history links were discussed over a Scottish-focus afternoon tea of Dundee cake, Scottish shortbread and Empire biscuits. The Hibiscus Coast Branch of the NZ Society of Genealogists holds meetings at St Chad’s Church, Centreway Rd, Ōrewa on the third Tuesday of each month at 2pm. Visitors always welcome. Help Desk support for family history research operates at Whangaparāoa Library, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday from 10am-12noon. No appointment necessary.
