The Story Archive
Over the years I have discovered many a fascinating ancestor and solved quite a few family mysteries.
These are some of my stories.
A Picture Paints a Thousand Words
How did a beautiful young Lady of a British East India Company Officer come to be in London and have her portait painted by member of the Royal Academy?
A Bible Hunt
Family Bibles can feel like a direct connection to your ancestors, revealing their most cherished milestones. I had a transcript, but could I track down the original?
My Grandfather’s Album
A picture paints a thousand words…..and my grandfather’s photo album tells me so much about his character and personality. It is also a wonderful snapshot of Australian life in the 1930’s.
