Hi Robyn,

I enjoy the show, but it is annoying when you see so many high profile people, such as archive directors and professors seemingly doing the research when personal experience has shown these people wouldn't normally give a normal family researcher the time of day. Is there any plan for a follow up program on the realities of family research?

Hello, I am almost 13 and I would like to know the origin of the last name "Devlin" and how they came to Australia.

I would love to have an answer. Thanks Smile

Hi Jeremy,

My grandfather is adopted and knows nothing of his ancestors. He met his mother but she didn't want contact with him. We have her name and nothing else. Is there a way i could find out about her and her ancestors without seeing her?

I would really like to become involved in Family History Research as a career, what types of jobs are available and what level of education do I need?

Hi Jeremy, I've been researching a family but can't find when they arrived in Australia. The family name is Moseley. My grandfather, Harrington Charles married Margaret Aitken Palmer c 1910 (I do have the accurate dates on file), his sister Edith Sarah Moseley and another sister Mary, both married in NSW on later dates. Anecdotal evidence points to India but Harrington Charles gave several different birthplaces none of them in Indi. Mary gave her birthplace as Dehli on her marriage certificate. I am wondering if they could possibly have been the children of convicts, could you make suggestions.
