Introduction:
Welcome to my website, I hope you find this useful. This has been created for the purpose of publishing my family history and Australian history research and to add links to photos, resources and the works of others. I also digitally colour photos and will be adding some of these. I will eventually list several generations of descendants of known Australian ancestors. There is also a War Memorial section that I am working on.
Copyright:
*Please contact me or at least please credit me as “ErnestfromAus” if you decide to use photos on a publication or family tree website (I have already uploaded some onto ancestry.com). I believe that these should be for everybody to share and I do not like the idea of tainting a photo with watermarks. However, alot of time goes into sourcing, scanning and repairing these photos and I have seen alot of photos that are ‘re-uploaded’ onto ancestry.com and the like, which I believe hinders genealogy.
If you use my research as a reference, please remember to credit me. A link to this home page is ernestfromaus.wordpress.com
How You Can Contribute:
If you have information you would like to share about the families listed, please feel free to contact me (ernestfromaus@gmail.com). I will gladly credit you as the contributor if you would like to use this as a platform for verified information to be published. I am especially interested in photos of the families on this website. Also, if you have tips on improving the layout of the website, I am open to suggestions. (Ads are inevitable as I have opted for free version at this stage).
Links:
While the website is mostly focused on links to Australian families (below), the useful links page may provide useful information or entertainment.
Please see the Links Below to the Pages for Each Family (Click on the Family Name). These pages will contain links to biographies, lists of descendants and photos.
Under each family name is a brief description of the known Australian immigrants for that family and their generation relative to me (1. would be my great-grandparent’s generation.) Names in BOLD font are first generation Australians (Immigrants or convicts).
Many of these are incomplete or not yet started but watch for new links as well as updates to existing ones. If you cannot click on a family name, then the page and the associated publications have not yet been published.
