Welcome to my family history website

This is where I write down the research I've been doing on my ancestors, from Australia and from overseas. I try to flesh out the people and paint a picture of them, rather than just reeling off dates and names and places. Please be aware that as time goes on my knowledge of my ancestors has changed as I have found new information, which means that more recent posts may contain more accurate information than older ones.

If you believe you are a relative, please say hello in one of the comment boxes or use the contact page. Or say hello anyway!
