Have you ever thought about a defining moment in y

Have you ever thought about a defining moment in your life? I am sure there are many, but, for me, when I was a fresh-faced 18 year old I was on an adventure to change the world.

It was 2005 and about 12 of us - the oldest not quite 19 - made our way to Ghana in West Africa to become teachers for 3.5 months. No experience, only enthusiasm (and maybe some teaching supplies) necessary
We packed up our backpacks, mosquito nets, malaria tablets, iPod mini's and naivety and we were ready to tackle whatever was thrown our way.

We packed a lot into those few months - teaching kids the basics, learning about the beautiful people and culture of Ghana, making our way around the country via buses, tro-tro's and boats, getting ourselves into a few hairy situations (it's OK Mum, nothing to worry about 😐), witnessing some not-so-nice things and learning more about ourselves.

We may not have changed our Ghanaian students worlds, but we sure as hell changed ours. What an epic and eye-opening (and eyewatering) experience we had in those few months.

Do you have a defining moment?

We do a love a tree! 🌳

Growing up I planted plenty a tree with my family for different Land Care projects. Now, not only do I still love me some foliage, I'm also in the biz of researching and creating your family trees. How's that for serendipity 😂

Go and hug a tree, plant one or get your family tree underway.

This is me on my first ever holiday to Thailand with my family in 1994.

Since then I have been back to Thailand more times than I care to count and I just bloody love it! My bestie and I are jetting away for our annual (minus a few 🦠 years) trip in a few weeks and I am getting super excited. It's time to refresh and regroup after a few big/scary/confusing/exhausting (and exciting) years being home-bound.

One thing that hasn't changed in the almost 30 years since my first trip to Thailand...you can still find me sitting beside the pool with my head in a good book.

Without photos it can be hard to get an understanding about what someone looked like who could be connected to your family history 📷

Unless you can get a description from somewhere else. A fellow we were researching was said to be have 'hair parted at side, clean shaved except moustache, grey eyes, large forehead, smart active appearance...' This description just happened to come from the Police Gazette searching for a man who deserted his wife and children.

FYI - this is not he man in question...we think 🙃

Discovering photos of ancestors or homes connected

Discovering photos of ancestors or homes connected to them is something bloody special (and exciting...even for us) 🤗

But, it's not always possible! We can dig and dig and dig, but sometimes there are no photos. This could be for a number of factors - photography was expensive, photos getting lost, damaged or destroyed over time, a photo hasn't be labelled and therefore we don't know who or what is in an image OR it just never existed in the first place. However, know that we will try all available known avenues to try and find something for you.

Sometimes we can get a bit frazzled when it comes

Sometimes we can get a bit frazzled when it comes to researching 🤯

A little while back we were making great strides in one particular branch of a clients family tree. We had located a number of children, accolades for family members and then a tragic death. After a little further and deeper digging, it became clear (well, it was still a little murky) that we had the wrong family - same names. Not only is it frustrating that we were on the wrong path and wasted time looking into the lives of the wrong people, it is also disheartening that we effed up. BUT, it was something we discovered fairly early on and were able to change direction.

The good news is that we did find the right ancestors and they were just as interesting. We also hadn't produced our final tree and report to our client, so we didn't lead them down the garden path.
These things are easily done and at the end of the day we all make mistakes. W are only human after all!
