Ernests Geneology Website

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 and may have a go at sketching some portraits of family members if I get time. I eventually plan to list several generations of descendants of known Australian ancestors and to dedicate some space to honouring war veterans in different branches of my family.

*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 and scanning these photos and I have seen alot of photos that are ‘re-uploaded’ onto ancestry.com and the like. I hate red tape as much as anyone, but people are hindering the rest of these from surfacing by giving themselves credit for photo that they have no idea where they came from. 

This is a hobby to me and has no attached financial motives. I do not support the genealogist websites or societies that are after ridiculous amounts of money for very little, such as those selling an index (non-records) on a CD for hundreds of dollars.

While it is mostly focused on my direct ancestors at this stage, it may contain useful information about their family members as well as photos. Links to photos and documents will be attached to this page:
