I have been researching my family tree since around 2000. A search for my 
father's grave in a remote part of Western Australia started the thirst for 
more family information which has taken me across the waters to England, Ireland,
Europe, America, New Zealand and all parts of Australia and Tasmania. This 
internet travel has put me in regular contact with new family members, friends 
and many interesting people. I have commenced this website to pass my family 
history to other researchers and to the younger generations of my family so 
that they will never forget where their roots began.
If you feel you may be related to any person mentioned in my website or may 
have information I can add or share with someone else I would be delighted to 
hear from you.

I am not actively researching all these names but may have information that I  can pass onto you or place you in contact with someone else. If further research is required please contact GEANOLOGY,FAMILY HISTORY AND RESEARCH on  rianda1719@bigpond.com 
 If you wish to contact me, please send your comments to my email or the  guestbook.

FAMILY HISTORY CAN BE SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST NAMES AND DATES, FINDING THEIR STORIES  HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR ANCESTORS STRUGGLES AND ACHIEVEMENTS. IF YOU NEED SOME HELP TO  RESEARCH I CAN FIND NOT ONLY THE MARRIAGES AND CHILDREN OF YOUR ANCESTORS AND THEIR LIVES, BUT ALSO THE BACKGROUND INFORMATION THAT WILL PROVIDE THE INSIGHT INTO THEIR LIVES. CONTACT ME  DIRECTLY FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT MY FAMILY HISTORY RESEARCH SERVICE.

I would like to thank the following relations, friends and casual  contacts for their help and support in setting up this site, their family  information and photos so their children's children can continue to learn  about their family connections.
