For NT genealogical and ancestral research go to GSNT

Genealogical Society of the Northern Territory’s members, June and Judy
In 1981 a small group of about ten enthusiastic people interested in family history gathered with an aim to form an association, official registration followed and the Genealogical Society of the NT (GSNT) was born in late November 1981.
From the very beginning, the group were involved in fundraising to purchase resources for our Library. They recognised that there was next to nothing available for family historians wanting to know more about their Territory ancestors. So began the Society’s indexing projects.
At first, this small group met in the meeting room of the Darwin Family History Centre of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Membership increased and we were offered accommodation in Cavenagh Street Darwin. We stayed at this address for 34 years. We then moved to 84 Smith Street where we stayed for just over 5 years. We were fortunate to secure accommodation at our current address at Unit 1, 1 Willeroo Street, Tiwi, NT. 0810. This is part of a large complex of buildings that include office accommodation for many outside organizations working in disability, Harry’s Café, plus the Harry Giese Building where our Library is located. The complex is managed by Carpentaria Disability Services.
