I was born in South Wales, grew up in New Zealand, and have lived in Australia since 1978. After almost 30 years working in marketing, research and business strategy, I took a break and experimented with using my skills and experience in different ways and along the way discovered a passion for family history. I applied my research skills. I connected with relatives, relatives of relatives, and co
mplete strangers as I explored new sources of information and other peoples’ lives, past and present. I was hooked. From 2016 I worked at becoming qualified as a professional genealogist and I am now BA, DipFHS. Through 2020 and 2021, with lots of time at home in Covid-19 lockdowns, I helped a number of friends and relatives make sense of their DNA test results and research their trees. I have realized how many people fail to extract the full benefit from their investment in DNA testing and I am going to show people how they can achieve lots more, and get the same buzz I do! As Lewis Carroll famously wrote - “Begin at the beginning …”
The beginning is with you.
