About Jan

I am a retired teacher and academic. With formal work behind me I am now applying my research skills to genealogy, writing family histories and preparing digital photographic records for my family and others on commission. My primary focus is on UK, Australia and New Zealand. It's a great job! Never boring, always challenging and endlessly fascinating. I can work when I please and the dress code is casual. When I am not 'tending the trees', I enjoy family, time with my mates, digital photography, quilting, gardening and chocolate.
