About
Hello, my name is Davina and I have been doing research on my family history since 2011. I had discovered the website Ancestry with my cousin and the obsession started from there. We did not have much information to start with as a lot of information about our family was not talked about in my families and the ones with the knowledge have now passed.
My base tree resides on ancestry.com.au, that was my starting point. Then I learnt there was a lot of other sites out there with information to explore as well. I also came to the conclusion that not all the information on the website ( mainly other people's trees) ancestry is correct. It took a little while to apprehend that copying someone else's tree could lead you down the wrong path. I started looking for outside resources, mostly government record websites and maintained genealogy trees. I have grown my tree and as of writing this bio I have 2023 people.
I have one unit left to do now before completing my diploma in Family History with the University of Tasmania.

My DNA results came back, my heritage is 100% European. The old whispers that there was Aboriginal blood does not seem to be supported by these results. My sister did her DNA as well and there were no traces in her results either.
