This is the first blog I have created. Hopefully it turns out as
good as I imagine. I'm sure there will be a lot of editing as I learn
what blogging is all about!
In a nutshell - I was born
into the Nash family in 1974 in a small town in country Victoria. In
1999 I moved from the South West of the state to the North East. I
married my husband in 2009 and three years later our handsome boy was
born. In 2017 we made the big decision to follow our dreams - so we quit our jobs, packed our stuff and moved interstate, to the Mid North Coast of New South Wales. After living in NSW for four years, my husband found work back in Victoria - so we have returned to South West Victoria, my old stomping ground, in 2021!
I have been interested in genealogy since I was
about 18. I have conducted extensive research on numerous branches of
my family tree. With the help of many family members, near and far, I
was able to compile my first book in 2000. This book is about the
Bunston family, my fathers paternal grandmother was a Bunston.
Although
most of my research time has been devoted to the Bunston side, I have
also spent countless hours looking elsewhere. Recently, branching out to my
husband's family as well. The surname page lists some of the names that
appear in my research - I am yet to count how many I have in my tree.
My
ancestors are predominately English, originating mainly in Somerset.
We have spread far and wide with families migrating to Australia (where I
am), Canada, New Zealand and the United States.
My aim is to use this blog to share photos, research and stories about and for my vast family.

ReplyDeleteI would like to make contact with you re some of the photos you have posted of Clandon Park Hospital in Surrey, UK, in WW1. I am writing about this hospital and it is hard to find photos of it, especially with soldiers and staff in them. I was wondering if you would allow me to use one or two and f you have any information about he time your great grand father spent there - I could include his story. I have already contacted you via your contact form too, but would be really grateful if you could get in touch.
