I was born in 1932 in Rotterdam, Netherlands and I emigrated to Australia in 1955 where I live in Ballina (NSW) at the mouth of the Richmond River.

The purpose of the site is to provide easy access and links to my Family History files and to other sites of interest.

Photographs of churches, old Australian pubs and of War memorials can be found via the Photo Albums and the My Churches links.

Please note that all my photographs are subject to copyright and that permission is required for any use other then historical files.

My thanks go the administrators of various private family tree sites for allowing me to include details and photographs of some members where and when there is a common interest and/or family tie. These include Gemeentearchief Leiden Beeldbank and the Friederichs and van der Woerd families.
