Embark on family history journey...

Family Journeys traces the histories of nine Australian families through records in the National Archives' collection. Join us on the journey and learn how to start your own family history research.

We find out that gardening guru Jamie Durie has roots in Sri Lanka and England, and that Noni Hazlehurst comes from a talented family of theatre and radio performers who migrated to Australia as `ten-pound poms'. Scientist Dr Karl' Kruszelnicki tells us he arrived in Australia in 1950 as a young child with parents who survived Nazi concentration camps, and we've trapped down his family migration papers.

Read their stories and others. Be inspired to begin your own journey.
