About this site, Benefaction

This site is dedicated to Joseph Fulton’s magnificent legacy of family history. It is an homage to those gone before, a gift to people living now and for future generations.

Joe’s work is a stunning tour de force of strict academic rigour stretching over centuries. He starts with the Fulton and Byrne families in Australia and reaches back and outwards – seemingly as far as possible. It is decades of work executed with dedication and perseverance and written in Joe’s inimitably charming and humorous style. There are fascinating human stories that bring long-dead characters to life. The site is an archival repository for the information and use of family members. Additional material will be added as it becomes available, for example – typed versions of hand written letters.

The site cannot do justice to Joe’s work . He has details, photos and clippings on individual cards for 5,000 to 6,000 people. Perhaps the work displayed here will inspire a digitising project for fellow family historians???
