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

Me when I had a breakthrough in my research during the week 💃🏽

I had a far-fetched idea that was a last research resort. The next moment, I’m literally saying “oh shit” in the middle of the PROV reading room.

This tiny piece of information has just opened up so many new avenues of research and is going to be a big surprise for my client.

Man, I love what I do!

We are taking a deep dive into the military history of a number of ancestors of one of our clients. It can be pretty tough reading to learn more about the grim realities of war for so many men and women who believed they were going to be able to see the world and experience the glory of battle. 
It is a huge part of Australian history that reaches almost every family we research in some way.
