Please sign in to see more. WELCOME TO MY FAMILY
I have been researching my family history for a number of years starting after both my parent's passed away. My aim at first was to follow the Forrester and Dalziel sides of my father's family. There were so many questions I needed to try and find some answers to.
This research has taken me on a wonderful journey to many places around the world and to find glovers, Bailies, burgess of Perth Scotland, convicts, jewellers, silversmith's, wine shipper's wine merchant's, makers of Port Wine in Oporto, Portugal, an Irish Famine Orphan and so many who have fought in all wars and battles for their country.
I do know my Dad would turnover in his grave if he knew that I was delving into the past, but as I have come so far with my research and that I am very proud of my ancestor's. I think
if he knew of the information I have gathered I am sure he would have a twinkle in his eye.
Please check the citations at the bottom of a person's name as I have put some links to website's, especially my father's brother CHARLES HENRY FORRESTER 1918-1945 who died a prisoner of war at Sandakan, Borneo.
