Hello, Welcome to Family & Place
Knowing our roots can ground us. It can give us a sense of peace and security. A sense of place. The connections we make to our ancestors can be deep and surprising. The stories of our ancestors are often fascinating; from farmers to royalty, everyone has a story to tell.
I am fascinated with history, genealogy and filling in those missing branches. I specialise in records relating to Victoria, Australia. My years of genealogy research are backed up by a Graduate Diploma in Family History and a Bachelor of Writing and Editing. I can provide you with an in-depth narrative or research-based report that will, if the records permit, answer your need-to-know questions.

My favourite thing to do is to scour the archives to find that one specific name, or connection, that allows me to widen the scope and capture a person’s life as more than just a birth and a death.
