The generations whose journeys brought my family to Australia. My family tree tells the story of the generations that eventually made their lives in Australia. Rather than tracing every branch indefinitely backwards, I have chosen to follow each ancestral line to the person who first arrived in Australia. Some arrived as convicts, some as free settlers, and some were among the First Fleet in 1788. Where I have researched an ancestor’s life in greater detail, their place in the tree links to their individual story.
