Tis the season to be jolly, and as we gather over the holidays to embrace a summer of celebration and entertaining, a sense of warmth and joy takes hold.
From spontaneous drinks with friends to the joys of classic roast and pud on December 25 and the flavours of food served fresh offthe barbie, it’s a time of year unlike any other. One where news and milestones are marked, achievements toasted and newcomers welcomed. But even as the chatter around the table flows as easily as champagne, there’s always room to add more people to the mix. And it starts with Ancestry.com.au.
With access to billions of records worldwide, including in Australia and New Zealand, the global family history website offers the opportunity to open up a conversation between your family as it stands now and the generations that came before. And there’s no better time to get started than at Christmas, when the focus on family already takes centre stage.
