Biography
Grant was born in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1954, where he completed his schooling. He joined the South African Navy as a cadet officer at Naval College in Gordon's Bay. After a year's service he went to university to study Electrical Engineering but didn't complete this course. He then worked at the Dept of Posts and Telegraphs as a technician before joining Shell South Africa as an admin assistant. Various jobs within Shell followed, including Marine Representative in Cape Town and Tanker Operations Manager in Johannesburg. Sixteen years later he got the job as PR man for Mazda, Ford and Mitsubishi at the factory in Pretoria.
In 1993 he and his family emigrated to Dublin, Ireland where he worked as a news reader on radio.
In 1994 the family emigrated to Brisbane, Australia, where he worked in various Public Relations positions before opening his own PR business. He then began writing books under his own name as well as ghost writing for clients. He wrote a total of 50 books.
Grant joined the Royal Australian Navy as a Public Relations Officer in 2008 and spent many years working with the Fleet in Sydney as well as being deployed to Japan on board HMAS Sydney, where the ship was embedded with the US 7th Fleet. Two years followed working at headquarters in the Engineering Department before he retired.

Please edit the other profiles you've made in similar fashion, retaining the data already on the profiles and giving credit in the fashion I did.
Please be aware that the "source" that you mention, is not regarded as valid source by WikiTree. See in this regard Pre-1700 Quiz (self-certifying in order to understand better how to do [pre- but also post-1700] genealogical work on WikiTree).
Good luck with your tree and do ask if you don't understand or need help in any way. Warm regards. R
Welcome to the South African Roots Project, we also have a Suid Afrikaanse Portaal a Portaal for all people from South Africa where they can find all WikiTree stuff explained in their own language and if you have questions just ask we all are happy to help !
Greets and have a wonderful day,
The South African Roots Project team :)
Much appreciated. I have many sources on the Olivier family and are more than willing to share all I have :-D Yes indeed it is a fascinating puzzle.
Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!
Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working within the projects which coordinate them is essential.
Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus, whether time period, location, or topic. Read the goals and tasks of the project and join if it is a good fit.
Add the project tag to your Following list to be kept up to date on any activity that occurs for that project.
Can't find what you're looking for? Let me know, and I can make some suggestions! :-) Natalie ~ Pre-1700 Greeter
