Colette and Michael’s project

Colette Knowlden (née Johnson) and I agreed to do some investigations into the family history of the Johnsons. Colette has a number of boxes contaning family archives put together by her uncle (and mine) Richard, and on a visit to Albany, Western Australia in March 2020 we began the job of sifting through the photograph albums and documents found in the boxes. As a result of the Covid-19 lockdown I had to cut my visit short and return to the UK, but since then Colette and I have had regular video conference sessions in which we have gone through all of the material.

I have at the same time been putting together the family genogram or tree, and have been doing research on Ancestry.co.uk. This website is the fruit of all of this work, and I would hope that it can be added to over time.
