About Me
It was hearing about my ancestors who were ‘free settlers’ according to family lore when I was a child, that set me on the path of family history over 20 years ago, It turned out that those free settlers I had heard talked about by family members, were in fact the First Fleet Convicts Henry Kable & Susannah Holmes. Back then having convicts in the family didn’t have the prestige it does today it was very much denied or covered up.
I am passionate about family history, finding out about how our ancestors lived, what happened to them during their lives, I am also a mother and grandmother, and know the importance of passing on the stories of those who came before us.
Over the years I have undertaken research for both family & friends. In 2015 I assisted the Canungra RSL as their Genealogist for the website ‘Canungra Answered the Call‘.
These are some of the photos from my dad’s album that I have been able to put names to..
