The Index Page
While I have pages that cover specific people who are famous or who I want to remember, this page will be the one that keeps things in order (as best I can). I'll try to include parts of the tree and relative links starting with my side at the top and my wife's side in a section below.
The full family tree is all on WikiTree which is a free site that inter-connects trees. Please go there and register yourself if you want an account. If I am the owner of the profile of one of your direct ancestors and you want to take over it, drop me a mail. Wikitree does not show living descendants to non-members (and it's restrictive among members too), so even if you don't find yourself there, it doesn't necessarily mean that you aren't on there.
My Side (Bollard, Reynolds, Munce, Giese and more)
My Side (Bollard, Reynolds, Munce, Giese and more)
My background on my father's side is Australian all the way to the convicts and then British going further back. On my mother's side, things are more complicated with ancestry from Scotland, Ireland, Germany and France.
These are my paternal grandparents (and, given that they are all non-living, they are the start of the tree).
This book is difficult to get hold of now but was available in the 1980s. I've scanned it in so that others may benefit from it.
It was quite wrong in places back in the 1980s and I've left those mistakes as they are.
Updated Bollard Book
Updated Bollard Book
By Gavin Bollard (Based on Brian Robert Bollard's Original Text)
I don't know if I can ever release this book as it contains far too much sensitive information about living individuals today and it might break some serious PII rules.
I took Roberts 300 page book and have extended it to over a thousand pages and significantly improved the accuracy and sourcing. It's still not perfect but it's a big jump.
Bollard Info
Bollard Info
This is an older page that I will update eventually. It contains more general information about the Bollard family.
My Wife's Side (Montgomery, Brown, Davidson)
My Wife's Side (Montgomery, Brown, Davidson)
I'm including my wife's side here because our children represent the end of at least some of the lines in this part of the tree and I'm not sure who else will bring this information over. There are other people in my wife's family who are probably going to me more well-versed in the family history than me.
My wife is New Zealand born (a Kiwi) with a Scottish mother and a Kiwi Dad. Her paternal grandfather was American. I guess that pretty much makes our family a bit of a mixed bunch but we're proud of our heritage.
