A Passion for History

History and events of the past have always had a place in my heart.  As much as I want to share my findings on historical subjects I also needed to keep track of all the knowledge I was acquiring.  So here we go, this is what i have come up with: blogging! 

The historical events and subjects I am most interested in vary so don't be confused if I don't blog in chronological order.  I will try my best to keep all posts organised by subject: Ancient, Biblical, Middle ages, modern and Family. 

My Family history is interesting and an ongoing journey of self discovery.  Like many who have delved into the past to find out more about their ancestors, I have found out some fascinating facts about my family.  My story alone is enough to want to know more.  So I will share with you a brief description of my history.

My Story:

Born in 1985 in Glasgow, Scotland, apparently disturbing my mothers attention from the "Live Aid" Concert that was on TV at the time.  My parents were married 5 years before my birth, like many in the UK, they were in close proximity of the whole family.  In 1987 my parents thought it would be a great idea to put in an immigration application for Australia.  Within 6 weeks they were approved and making plans for their new life.  11th November 1987 we landed in Sydney, Australia where I grew up and now raising my own children. 

So there is my beginning, and I am by no means near the end.  I will share more of my story and the stories of my other family members, as well as historical events and people, in my blog.

Enjoy!!
