Welcome to my family home page.
My Interest is Family History.
It
all began in February 1982, some six months after my maternal
grandmother, Maggie Thomas, passed away.
I wanted to know how we were related to the bushranger "John Vane".
Well, some 23 years, and hundreds of new found relations later, I now have sufficient evidence to prove that John Vane is my great - great uncle (by marriage). John Vane married Jane Parker. Jane Parker is Maggie Thomas' aunt.
During this journey I have made many discoveries. Some are skeletons that have been unearthed. I have not unearthed them to make anyone embarrassed.
They are skeletons that make up a persons life. They set our pathway through life. We all have skeletons, if we didn't we wouldn't be human.
As George Bernard Shaw said "If you can't get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance."
This compilation is a result of hours of research from the Internet, library resources, people's recollections and experience's.
The contributors are too many to spell out individually, but to all I am very grateful for their contributions in assisting me in rebuild our family.
