This Aussie traced his ancestors all the way back to Ireland and what he found changed everything

At 77, Peter Sheedy thought he knew where his family came from. But one online thread led him from his home near Mackay to a remarkable family story stretching from Ireland to the Mount Morgan mining fields in Queensland.
What started with a nephew’s discovery on Ancestry opened up a family tree Peter he never would've found without the internet - revealing lost relatives, forgotten links and the resting place of three generations of family members.
In this episode of Life Connected, Peter shares how the search changed his understanding of his past, while Ancestry’s Jason Reeve and Ballarat genealogist Carol Armstrong explain why family history can uncover far more than names and dates.
