Your family's unique story

Family history is usually passed down to the generations by grandparents and great-grandparents, however these stories can be diluted, changed, or even lost over time.

As an example, around 1 million Australians joined the World War 2 effort however in 2024 around 12,000 veterans remain. Their numbers will continue to dwindle, meaning there is less time to preserve these stories.

If you are lucky enough to have someone born in the 1930s or 1940’s, the tales they could tell may very well open your eyes to what life was like for them and the challenges they faced. Their experiences likely shaped where your family lives today, the educational attainment expectations, the careers chosen, cultural values and tradition, physical and mental health, and family wealth.

With Famography, you can ensure these valuable memories live on.

"In the past members of my family on both my mother's and father's side have fought in the war, in the first and second World Wars. Unfortunately, they're dead and I wasn't able to speak to them, but that was in our family history too." PJ Harvey
