For anyone who has ever wondered about the ancestors who shaped their identity, Tracing Your Family Tree: For Australians & New Zealanders is an indispensable practical guide tailored specifically to the unique genealogical landscape of the Antipodes. A.G. Puttock systematically instructs readers through the process of uncovering their heritage, detailing the records, archives, and institutions particular to Australia and New Zealand that hold the keys to family histories stretching back through colonial settlement and beyond. The guide navigates readers through birth, death, and marriage registries, immigration records, and church documents, presenting a clear and methodical pathway through what can often feel like an overwhelming research journey. Written with authority and precision, this handbook acknowledges the distinctive challenges faced by Southern Hemisphere genealogists — from convict records to pioneering settler documentation — that set their research apart from the well-trodden paths of British or American family history. Puttock's straightforward, no-nonsense style makes the material accessible to the complete novice while still offering genuine utility to the more experienced researcher. Whether your roots lie in the early colonial era or more recent waves of immigration, this volume promises discoveries that will reframe your understanding of who you are and where you truly come from.
