Welcome
Welcome to The Potts Family Tree home page. I first began my genealogical research 15 years ago. In 1996 the Internet was young and wanted to learn how to create a web site. I needed a subject and found a couple of family history books and so decided that genealogy would be my topic.
I began with "History and Genealogy of the Potts - Carr Family", a book written by my father's uncles Jay and Harold (Pictured left) Coincidently I was named after both these uncles!
In this age of information I have been able to look even further into the lives of our ancestors and establish dates both new and previously recognised. Thanks to sites such as the National Library of Australia who have made avaliable scanned images of many Australian News Papers and the Public Records Office of Victoria who has scanned Wills and Probates, my collection of information is continually growing. See my page on O.H. Potts as an example.
If you are related to me you can access additional data and help to update your side of the family. Just send me a message.
It was my original goal to provide information on my family alone. This idea soon grew to a desire to provide information for the Potts family world wide.
Recently many of my Gregg relatives have found this site as a good source of information so I have been making an attempt to provide more information for the Gregg family.
I hope you enjoy your visit here. If you have any ideas for improvement or change please drop me an e-mail.
