I have been searching my family history since 1980. This was when I first decided to start writing a journal, recording bits of my childhood and anything else I could remember of my grandparents and their lives. But I needed more information! Where could I get it? Who could I ask? Where do I begin? So many questions!
.............................and so started my research into family history!
I enjoy visiting the gold mining areas of Victoria where most of my ancestors lived and worked and, as with all genies, I enjoy "digging" around the cemeteries!! One of my favorites being Graytown Cemetery, the other being St Kilda. But if you want to see some of the names I am interested in, then click here and it will take you to my surname list.
There is a group that I convene, called Melbourne Dead Person's Society who meet on a monthly basis to help and support each other with computers and family history research, if you'd like to know more about the DPS then check out the home page!
