Essential Genealogist

I AM A FAMILY HISTORIAN, GENEALOGIST AND EDUCATOR.

I have always been addicted to genealogy and being a family history detective. In 2019 I graduated from the University of Tasmania with a Diploma of Family History and in 2020 began my new venture into becoming a Family History Educator. (Edupreneur).

Since then I have developed several courses in my CoachCaroleOnline Academy and offer insights into the mysteries of family history magic in webinars, blogs and presentations.

I am now enjoying a new adventure in creating podcasts with other genealogists and storytellers. Loving the new adventure of networking with and finding out more about those who revel in the art of storytelling.
