Since my retirement, I have done some travelling and moved to my present home, which has reignited my interest in Genealogy. At present, I'm studying for a Diploma in Family History at the University of Tasmania. It's a subject I'm quite passionate about. I was born in Australia, however, my ancestry is Irish/English. My paternal grandfather was born in Tewkesbury and lived in Birmingham for a period, possibly right up until he immigrated to Australia.
