It is with sadness we report the death of our long-serving foundation member, Brian Croker, on 8 August 2021. Not only was Brian a committed member of AAGRA for 44 years, he was also a life member and the first president of the Western Australian Genealogical Society, the latter position he held for 10 years. The B.J. Croker Genealogical Society Library in Bayswater was named in his honour. He was also a president of the Australasian Federation of Family History Organisations for 4 years. Brian will be deeply missed in the genealogy world and, on behalf of all AAGRA members, we pass our condolences to his family and friends.

Dr Dianne Snowden AM

President of AAGRA.
