Preserving Family History, Sharing Personal Interests

Sydney, NSW, 2000 Australia

Family History is the sum of many individuals and events. When we know about the lives of our forebears we can better understand where we came from and who we are today. These are stories of two families which came together through the marriage of Daniel Maurice and Margaret Robinson in 1974.

As well Daniel and Margaret would like to share their interests in photography and art.
