Welcome.

I'm Liliana Van Heel, a professional genealogist and family historian who is passionate about uncovering the forgotten stories of people and places from the past. I hold a Diploma of Family History from the University of Tasmania and have been researching genealogy and family history for nearly a decade.

To learn more about my work, you can view my About page here.

I am dedicated to making family history more accessible. You can find research tips and tricks, historical facts, and resources on my Blog.

If you would like to work with me regarding researching a family tree, tracing an ancestor, or another kind of historical research project such as transcribing an oral history interview, a research report, or a house history, please get in touch via my Contact page.
