I have been interested in tracing my family tree ever since I was a little girl. My grandmother used to tell me stories about her father's boyhood in Ireland, his passage to Australia and their life in turn of the century outback Queensland. These tales caught my imagination more than any book; that world seemed so exotic and magical.
Since then, I have always wanted to know more about my family's roots. One of the advantages of living in England is that I have had the chance to visit many of the places where my ancestors came from before emigration to Australia. My family tree is much larger now than I ever dreamed possible as a child. I think I have a convict ancestor but I do not know for sure... it would be wonderful to find out if that really is the case!
This genealogy article caught my eye: who would be King of the USA if George Washington had been a monarch instead of a president? Click here to find out. I have to say, Mr Washington does not look very inspiring. Lucky for America it has Barack Obama instead!! :-)))
