Welcome
This is my family tree site. The grave photographs have all been added and the tree updated. Like any family tree, this is a work in progress and I am always keen on receiving new information on family members.

Privacy is important to me, and because of that I hide the dates of birth for people who are still living (or are under 95 years old). Once a person has passed away (and I have a death date) their dates are shown, but not that of their spouse if they are still living.

Images of people, of which I have hundreds here, will be added in the future.

Latest News

9 March 2010 - A massive update of the people have occurred in recent weeks. over 1000 items have been updated with new dates, places and many hundreds of people have been added. There are also a lot more images of places and people online.

The biggest thing is the addition of the Field Family Newsletter. The Field Family Newsletter was produced 4 times a year from December 1999 through to February 2010. It was excellently edited by Dorothy Cefarin, and contained historical images, stories, as well as information on the births and deaths of family members. Due to ill health, Dorothy is no longer able to continue to produce the newsletter, but has kindly permitted me to include copies for people to see on my website. Only some of the 41 newsletters are currently online, but I hope to add 5 to 10 a week until they are all available.

We wish you well in the future Dorothy, and thank you for permission to place them here so other family members can read them!

20 January 2010 - Uploaded a couple of updates family stories as well as an updated family tree containing about 500 place updates and a few people and name updates.

18 January 2010 - Redirected the entire family tree site to the new site's index page. I might go and make things a little nicer and redirect certain pages to their relevent new ones, but this works for now. Oh and I have a bunch of new cemeteries to add later this week.

I may also include a historic cemetery - the Old Sydney Burial Ground as I now have comfirmation of at least 4, but possibly more, burials there. This is now the site of the Sydney Town Hall. There will be no pictures of graves as such, but I'll see what I can find in terms of historic pictures.

15 January 2010 - Uploaded a new version of the Tree, and added 7 family stories. These will be rewritten to bring them up to date in the next few weeks.

10 January 2010 - The new tree is updated and online. Over the next month or two I will be adding a LOT of family data.
