This website covers ONLY five generations of ancestors for Peter Caspersonn. As such it covers Caspersonn, Wilson, Costa and Carre ancestors, not counting Peter, up to four previous generations. All but one of the first generation were born overseas and most migrated, after that most were born in Australia. The earliest dates covered were in the first half of the 1800's
Researching family history can be a huge task, but most people are happy to have an outline and some real stories about their ancestors. This website is an attempt to meet that desire for my children and grandchildren, and also include some details for my my wider family, particularly those also descended from our Caspersonn/Costa/Wilson/Carre ancestors and some briefer details of the wider branches. Others are welcome to contact me and provide information about further growing the site to also show ancestors of the wider family.
The site is planned to have links to various source documents, including some that help us understand the historical context of the times.Â
This project will always be a work in progress.Â

The pages in this website are organised in order, for the four families listed above, from the oldest of five generations (Gen 1) to my generation (Gen 5). With two small exceptions, I have not included living persons.
The table below offers an alternative navigation path through the selected pages for my direct ancestors (Peter Caspersonn), from current to the oldest generation.Five generations were chosen because of available data and to keep the project manageable.
