Every family tree holds secrets, stories, and surprises. For years, I’ve been tracing my own ancestry across England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, uncovering connections and piecing together the past. Born and raised in New Zealand, I descend from some of the country’s early settlers but now call London home. Genealogy is more than just records and DNA—it’s about understanding the lives of those who came before us and the legacy they left behind.
My family history traces back through England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and New Zealand, with each of my four grandparent lines having its own distinct story. From migrations and settlements to the occupations and lives they led, this section explores where they came from and how their journeys shaped my family today.
