Is it time to shake that family tree and see what interesting ancestors fall out? 🌳

I know the perfect person to do it 😉

Our family trees cover 5-6 generations of your direct ancestors, which is more than 60 people and helps to tell part of their story. 

It’s never too early to begin, and it’s never been easier; just get in touch via the link in our bio.

It’s been a big couple of weeks for oral history interviews 🎙

It is such a privilege to be welcomed into people’s homes and take down their stories. Whether that is to chat about their lives, part of their family history, or a specific topic or subject that will become part of a larger project.

We take down the stories for posterity before they are lost to time, and we can come to you.

Do you want to learn more about our oral history interview service? Get in touch via the link in our bio.

What’s that now, a new week you say? 

Back to it tomorrow to dig into some more family trees, try to solve a couple of family history mysteries and find some of those missing pieces of the puzzle. 

There’s been a few breakthroughs in the last couple of weeks that have surprised not only my clients, but also me. And, I absolutely love it! 

If you’re ready to start your family history, you know what to do ☺️

What a highlight being able to work with the wonderful team at @sbs_australia ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’ again. 

It’s always fun (and sometimes dark) being able to share part of someone’s family history with them and telling @nonstoptomgleeson part of his story was a real coup. 

Catch up on the episode (and every other season and episode) on @sbsondemand
