Book Launch for the History of the Tasmanian LeFevres by Dannielle Shadwick.
An official launch of this new book has been scheduled for Sunday 6th January 2019 at 2pm at the St Helens History Room. The author, Mrs. Dannielle Shadwick (nee LeFevre) has completed an extensive family history on this prominent St Helens family which began with the arrival of her convict ancestor in 1829. The book focuses on the lineage of his two children, James and Joseph, and follows the branches down to present day. Featured within is a history unique to the LeFevre family- family members provide an oral history by retelling their own life-stories; online sources leading to newspapers, census records, books, and births, deaths & marriages were gathered and Social Media platforms were used to re-connect with numerous branches of the family tree.
The St Helens History Room is thrilled to offer Dannielle this opportunity of promoting her thoroughly researched family history – an important reference book that will be included in the
St Helens Family History archive.
