Welcome to the website of your family tree
 The popular conundrum for family tree administrators is what to name it, and where to start, as trees are an  ever moving feast, with everyone in the family having a different perspective.  This tree originally revolved around my immediate family, hence its name, but it has now grown and  matured now covering 8 generations of your extended family, featuring over 280 people and includes over 200 photos and scanned documents. 
 Now, over 75 related family names have appeared, all of which are in some way connected to you. This is  YOUR family history

I hope that you will enjoy the level of interest that I have for newly discovered distant relatives spread right  across the globe as well as your ancestors who lived in times gone by.

Creating an historical document like this takes many years and only by your contribution can it become  truly interesting
 Ours is really only in its infancy and we have a long way to go to locate the  accurate details and records of our family, particularly our ancestors. Your tree  can grow with each new discovery, with space for multiple photos for each person and room for  their detailed life histories or interesting anecdotes.
 Please search through this tree and click on each person for their story, or their personal ancestry. You may  know something special about your ancestors, so make a contribution for other family to see.

Only in recent times with the advent of superb web pages and the rapid growth  of digital records has such a graphic account of your family been able to be illustrated and widely communicated.
 Certainly it started with my core family, but the real fascination can be found amongst your  distant relatives. I am pleased to have started this journey and hope that it sheds some light for you on your  family connections.
 The task before us now is still huge, and I invite you all to make a real contribution to its  historical future.

My focus now is to continue to research our various ancestors which is truly interesting In the meantime, please explore this tree. Click on your family connection to open up your personal pages. Many people here have multiple photos at different stages of their lives, and some have interesting stories. You can make your very own contribution by sending me lots of photos, stories of achievements, or just personal anecdotes, war records, certificates and above all  corrections! Accuracy is all important and information sources are critical. Family stories can so easily  become legend, or simply lost over the mists of time. Individual anecdotes are invaluable in bringing life and  humanity to those who have since passed on, so please tell us your stories and memories of your ancestors

Finally, please pass this information to your children or other family members that you are in contact with  to further the search for family information. Contact me with any queries and please give me any  corrections that you may have.
 Above all, please remember, this is not my page. It is YOUR FAMILY HISTORY Regards
