What tree isn't made of wood???
Recently I have put the wooden trees aside for a different sort of tree.I have been researching my family tree. Found my father's 1/2 brother living in Southend England and multiple long lost rellies in Canada.Needless to say my father who believed he had no family for the last 60 years,except my mother and me is very excited. Anyway have any of you done your family trees and found savoury/Unsavoury history along the way.

Family tree
Great things! all familt myths confirmed or destroyed, skeletons in the cupboard. Lots of fun!
A cousin of mine started and turned over task to an uncle who has an extremely methodical approach to everything.Produced a wonderful book on father's side of the tree. Found four convict ancestors!!! I really feel part of the place after that little episode.
Sister has much of mum's side written down. Will be very interesting when everything is put in place.

The University of Tasmania did our family tree. Traced back to England. We were very fortunate to have this done.
I found out my bosses wife at the time was a distant cousin. Also that I was 5th generation Aboriginal descendent. Very interesting history of their involvement in the developing of the North of Tasmania.Great plastering tips at

What makes you think your family tree has nothing to do with wood? How much do you have written down on paper? How many of your sources are paper records? How much of that electricity that you've burnt driving your computer came from coal fired power stations?
Then you need to consider the cranium putting all this together
Nah mate, lots of wood, just look out for the nuts

Family trees are facinating.
Traced mine back to the first immigrant and cant get any further as he was hung for murder and in those days it was all hushed upDon't force it, use a bigger hammer.
Timber is what you use. Wood is what you burn.

If you dig deep enough, you'll probably find a fair share of heroes and scoundrels. It seems the scoundrels get more ink, though, and heroes are harder to find.
I wonder if we're distant cousins, Rich.

I am also part aboriginal.(1/8th if you like to fractionalise it Originally Posted by rod@plasterbrok

Antway it's all fascinating and I am hooked.

a guy i know did a search for my family tree,within a week he got back to 1643 but then came upon 6 people with the same name all living in close proximity to each other and so he stopped there.
The family all thought that there was some German ancestors in the family but he put paid to that idea.Cheers Fred
