This blog records some information and stories about my family history and
genealogical research. I am researching my father’s family (Northcote,
Keneally, Riley, Butler, Licet, Maher, Fitzpatrick, Hickey) and my mother’s
family (Walters, Kingsbury, Fleming, Carrick, Hoey, Torpy, Holloway, Higgins)
