… and I am truly passionate about helping people discover their family history. As a California resident with Australian roots, I understand the unique challenges and joys that come with international genealogy research. I believe that understanding our ancestors and the events that shaped their lives can give us a deeper appreciation for ourselves, our own heritage, and the world around us.

My own family history is rich with interesting characters and fascinating stories. I am particularly fond of my ancestors who were convicts and soldiers from the Aussie Rum Rebellion. These colorful men and women helped to shape the recent history of my home country and I am always excited to be able to share their stories with others.

My husband’s background is equally diverse, with Portuguese and early American settlers in his lineage. I love delving into our family’s past and uncovering the stories that make us who we are today. I also enjoy spending time with my husband and our beloved springer spaniel, Daisy.

If you’re just starting your genealogy journey or are a seasoned researcher, I am here to help. I provide useful and informative content on genealogy research, techniques, and tools. Additionally, I review a wide variety of products and services related to genealogy to help you make informed decisions when it comes to tracing your family tree. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced researcher, I strive to provide valuable resources to help you uncover the stories of your ancestors.

Thank you for visiting my website. I look forward to helping you discover your own family history. I am here to help you, to listen to you, and share my own research journey with you. I want to make your journey as easy and fun for you as it has been for me. So come along, let me guide you through the discovery of your own family history, let’s uncover the stories that make you who you are today, and let’s make the journey together.
