Lance's Home of Genealogy
Welcome to my small contribution to the world of Genealogy.

The research of my family has been a real adventure which has developed into a absorbing and enjoyable hobby.

I began my family research with many questions for my father as I was so sure I was related to Rob Roy from Scotland,
but this was only fantasy as the original surname in England had changed twice to finally be given as McGregor.

The hobby became more serious when I developed a curiousity to find out where the settlers and their families went after getting off the boats in Australia and New Zealand.

Tracing the descendents of these settlers has resulted in my meeting and talking with very interesting people which is more enjoyable when one remembers that these people are in fact my own relatives.

Since the beginning of my delving into my family tree I have been very fortunate that a number of very generous researchers have contributed important data to assist my piecing together the beginnings of this family jigsaw.

I now wish to thank all those who answered my letters over the years,  talked to me by phone and who now email with their pieces of the the family jigsaw.

If you happen to find you are connected to my family,  please email me,  as I would love to hear from you
My online family research concentrates only on three branches of the family ancestry

Research of the name Prebble began with James Prebble who with his family,  sailed on the boat 'Aurora' from Kent in England, arriving Port Nicholson in 1840 as one of the early settlers in New Zealand.

  PREBBLE  

Research of the name Schneider began with Johann Adam Schneider who with his family,  sailed on the boat 'Susanne Godeffroy' from Germany arriving Morton Bay in 1864 and settling in the state of Queensland, Australia.
