  • About Prudence

    Hi, I'm Prudence

    Graphic designer, Tim Tam connoisseur and family history enthusiast.

    From the moment that Dad first mentioned his grandparents had eloped, I’ve wanted to know more. More about my ancestors, local history, and our family stories, So, since 1990 I’ve been digging into dusty records and fading memories to turn timelines and trees into shareable family histories.
