My ancestry


I love this photo---my great great grandparents and their children. It was taken in 1900 in premises on George Street, Sydney.

My Great grandmother Jane Briton is the top left at the back.
Beside her are her sister Margaret and brother William--I have been fortunate to have contact with descendants of both Margaret and William.

Genealogy is an area one is either passionate or apathetic about...so many genealogists I have met say their family think their interest strange...some even undermine their efforts out of concern for finding out "family secrets."

I would hate to think that my children's grandchilden may not even know each other...
