First generation Aussie, born in Hornsby District Hospital quite a while ago to parents migrating from Zambia. No further close family here, strong paternal ties to NZ since the first colonials. A few remaining family members in the Northern Hemisphere.

Born and grown up in Vic but predominately most of my relatives from both sides of my parents were from SA & WA.
I did a DNA test to complete my family tree and must admit I was surprised with my ethnicity with how many countries I'm linked to and to discover many new relatives I never thought I had.
