I have been researching my own family for most of my life, my grandparents introducted me to it when I was 6yrs old. The fact that I'm now 60 so it's been a lifetime, I love the research, love working with census and looking beyond just the dates but looking into the addresses and trying to find what they look like today. Is the home still standing. I also have a great love of cemeteries and photographing graves.
Do you have a genealogy website or blog or belong to a Genealogy Society?

    Anita I have been at this now for nearly 20 years and have been struggling along alone as I am a invalid pensioner and most of my family are in the UK except for the Keast who came from Cornwall and most settled around Bendigo

    Never got to Cornwall as we left England when I was 10 in 1951 and I have not been back and now that is out of the question because of my disabilities. I love Robe as we live 6km out of the town and it is quiet and peaceful and the people in Robe are very friendly and caring. I had my transplant in Melbourne in the Alfred in 1996 and due to Ann's hobby (Showing Beagles) we do a fair bit of traveling

    Hi I'm Pam from Perth.
    About 3 months ago started up Clan Donald W.A. for the first time since the early 1900's. This is very exciting. Anyone out there who has links to Clan Donald I would love to hear from you. We have approx 30 members so far.And they are still coming. Our main aim is researching and keeping our Scottish heritage alive.

    Hi Anita,
    Thank you. Jan's husband Norman is my cousin. He is also the High Commissioner for Clan Donald Australia. I am originally from Melbourne.
    I would really like to thank Clan Donald N.S.W. & S.A. for the huge amount of support that they have given to me since I began Clan Donald W.A. In 2011 I will be in Scotland. Can't wait.

    Hi Anita. Have had my interest in genealogy rekindled having been told I've got another convict to research. My scrapbooking is also benefiting but haven't been doing heritage pages.
