In the zone or zoning out? 😂

Just me over here trying to finish a research report that captures more than a hundred ancestors as well as their connection to the home that has been in the family (and still is) for more than four generations.

Do not distract me!

Oh look, an elephant! 🙃 I spend a lot of time

Oh look, an elephant! 🙃

I spend a lot of time procrastinating when the research is done and the report needs to be written. I find almost anything to do, like right now as I plan my social media posts, or when I make my third pot of tea for the day, or just happen to check my Google Analytics and LinkedIn....anything.
The thing is, once I actually begin writing, I absolutely bloody love it and am completely in the zone (do not try and talk to me).

Anyone else afflicted with the ol’ procrastination curse?

Anyway, back to the elephant...🐘🤣

Local history research Victoria can be a fascinating endeavour that can work cohesively with family history research and the history of your home and property, or as a standalone.

Most of the time I am just deciphering what a record says (or doesn’t say) 😂

But, seriously, one of my specialities is transcription of historic records. If there’s something you need to clarify, decipher, or have transcribed, I’m your gal.

We’re backkkk! That’s right, back after a few restful weeks, and all bright-eyed and bushy tailed.

And, what fortuitous timing, because today marks 10 years of Born & Bred Historical Research.

What a ride it has been over the last decade (yet, I have not aged a day). A huge thank you to my wonderful clients (and their ancestors) who make my job just wonderful. And, a big shout out to my very supportive family and friends, as well as the history and small business community. There has been so many ups and downs and running a small business can be insular and challenging, but oh so worth it.

Bring on the next decade and all that is left to discover.

In 1889 two men were promoted at a prestigious school in Melbourne; one - John - to the headmaster position and one - Samuel - as the new principal. They would go on to work together for more than a decade and have great respect for one another.

More than 80 years later John’s great grandson married Samuel’s great granddaughter. The chances of these encounters are not impossible, but they are slim and unusual. And, they will be a surprise for their great great grandchild - my client - when all of the puzzle pieces come together.

I am surprised every day by what I discover and the connections that come about.

He said what? 🙃

The local newspapers of the day bringing the goss and the goods (and the bads...) when it comes to finding out more about your ancestors. Helping answer some of those questions and finding some of the missing puzzle pieces.

Is it time to find out that family goss once and for all? Get in touch via the link in our bio.

Sometimes even I am shocked when I begin to scratch the surface when it comes to digging into a family’s history.

Recently, I was told that my clients father had a strained relationship with his his own father. And, what has now transpired is that his own life wasn’t exactly full of unicorns and rainbows. I have since found ties to Industrial Schools, court, gaols, violence, addiction and tragic demises.

It’s all part of their story, and one I know they want to know warts and all 🕵🏽 (it’s not all bad though. There are also triumphs and great times to be uncovered.)

Opened an intriguing record from the archives today hoping to find that missing piece of the puzzle. Only to discover sealed envelopes included within.
Unfortunately (and frustratingly) it will remain that way…
There are many things we need to be mindful of when handling archival records, including no removal of pins or staples, no licking of fingers or forceful use, and no altering the record in anyway. That includes the opening of never before opened letters ✉️

Oh well! I didn’t want to look at it that badly anyway 🫠
