When you Google “my ancestry Australia” what do you discover? The first hits will be sponsored ads for big, worldwide search engines that give you the option of a free trial followed by a subscription service that allows you to search records from all over the world. It’s addictive and can lead to some wonderful, eye-opening, and puzzling finds about your ancestors. What you won’t find when you search is your whole family tree and the stories about your ancestors wrapped up in a neat package. However, there is only so much that can be uncovered through this initial search and peak through the curtains of the big search engines. Many records are not available at our fingertips through an internet search, or search engine quest. Most records are held in archives, libraries, institutions and memories that need to be explored. That’s where a professional historian and/or genealogist absolutely shines.
Unlike automated search engines, this research is powered by real people who can search, identify, analyse and interpret records, cross-reference sources, and piece together narratives that algorithms can’t.
They are here to uncover the chapters of the past with a professional historian-led research service designed to hone in on questions and mysteries and to search – and hopefully find – the answers through various avenues, historical records and knowledge. This does not mean that we don’t also use these large search engines (these are wonderful sources of information), but they are an accompaniment to your question – what is my ancestry Australia?
