Who are we?

Crowd looking up

The Dead Persons Society (DPS) was started in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia in August 1992 with six members of the fidonet genealogy bulletin board "Heritage Oz" meeting face to face for the first time at Leone Fabre's home in Bundoora. It has grown since those early days, and since April 1994 we have been meeting at the local community hall which accomodates the forty plus people that attend each month.

Our aims are:

  • To promote an interest in genealogy via the use of computers and the internet in a social environment;
  • To foster cooperation, personal development and entertainment through genealogy.

Most months we have a guest speaker, often the speaker being one of our own talented members. Other times we have a theme and allow more time for questions and helpful advice from (and for) the friends who make up DPS.
