At the heart of my family history lies my young son, the starting point of our ancestral journey. Through tracing his lineage, I’ve uncovered over 20 sets of great-grandparents and a vast network of more than 2,500 people. That’s a lot of information!

To effectively tell our family story, I’ve organised them into family ‘lines’ stemming from each great-grandparent. These lines are written as chronological narratives spanning generations, capturing the essence of our ancestors’ lives — from their triumphs to their resilience.
