Do you have Convict ancestry? Many Australian bound convicts were transported to Tasmania in the 1800s. Many people have accessed the free source records that are publicly available and then ask the question "what does that mean?".

If you would like a copy of the records and a professional al transcription, please contact me to discuss your needs.

Many families have images like this one, of sons going off to World War 1, however the photos would never be able to be recreated after the war.

Next Tuesday is November 11, some call it Armitice Day, others Remembrance Day. What ever day it is where you are, pause to remember or Veterans and those we have lost.

I was honoured to assist a family yesterday to trace the heritage of a great grandfather who had served in the 9th Lighthorse during WWI and a Garrison Battalion in WW2. Along with two uncles who had WW2 service.

Remember when we leave this world, our full story goes with us, unless we share it!
