My name is Robert Cassidy and I started this site.

The Cassidy line of my family goes back to Peter Cassidy dob 1824 in Ireland. I have traced my family back to Sunderland, England; Scotland, UK; and Ireland.  I can be contacted by email: rbml.cassidy@bigpond.com and I welcome any queries.

The Barns line of my wife's family goes back to and beyond the first fleet's arrival in Australia.  There were 3 convicts (Saltmarsh, Phillips & Hollogin) on the 1st Fleet, 1 convict (Butler) on the 2nd Fleet, 1 convict (Stevens) on the 3rd Fleet; and 2 other convicts (Wise & Willington) who arrived on subsequent convict ships.  The Barns (note there is no "e" in Barns) family has a rich history.  We have found early relatives in Tasmania and South Australia; and later relatives in Queensland, including Gympie and Brisbane.
