About
Every family has a story, but not every story gets told. Welcome to Jenny’s Scrapbook of Family History Stories, where I uncover and share fascinating stories about my ancestors through the generations. From brave soldiers who fought in forgotten wars to pioneering great-grandmothers who crossed oceans in search of a better life, I explore the lives that have shaped our family. Using letters, historical records, and family interviews, I piece together the triumphs, challenges, and mysteries of those who came before us. You’ll discover stories of everyday people with extraordinary experiences - like my 2x great-grandfather, who was transported “beyond the seas” and another who was shipwrecked in the remote north of Western Australian. While some narratives are poignant, many are filled with happiness, strength and even humour. Join me on this journey of personal discovery, where history comes alive through family anecdotes. Whether you’re a fellow genealogy enthusiast or simply love a good story, there’s something here for everyone.
