John Graham
I have been actively involved in genealogy since I started researching my own family in 1975. My interests subsequently expanded to embrace local history, in particular the area of the South Coast of NSW centred on the town of Gerringong. I have written four books on aspects of local history of the area, co-authored a fifth, and have a sixth underway.
From 1998 until 2005 I was head of the Sydney Dead Persons Society, during which time the DPS founded the Ryerson Index. I'm currently President of Ryerson Index Inc.
I am a member of Shoalhaven FHS; Gerringong HS; Richmond River FHS; Richmond-Tweed FHS and Toowoomba-Darling Downs FHS.
In my spare time, I run an IT consultancy in Toowoomba (see www.strategicbc.com.au)
