Genealogy
The Global Connection
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.
My wife is 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.

Paternal Grandmother
Maternal Grandfather
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.
