Taylor Family History brings together the histories of the Taylor, Hallam, Sinclair, Moxham, McDonald and Carroll families, together with the many families connected to them through marriage and descent. Their origins lie in Britain, including the Shetland Islands, and Europe. While some families stayed, others spread out to colonies like Australia and New Zealand.
This site contains family narratives, historical articles, photographs, documents, oral histories and research guides. It is intended for members of the families and for anyone interested in family history, migration, working lives and the recovery of ordinary people from the historical record. The Genealogy section provides access to the family tree and the records on which much of the research is based.
