I am using information collated by my father (including documents) as a jumping-off point. In addition, I am following up other lines in the family tree and adding three generations. I'm also interested in Australian genealogy as a whole.

Biography
Nan Hewitt is a member of the Australian Convicts Team.
Nan Hewitt was born in Victoria, Australia
Nan has completed the Profile Improvement Project's Voyage
I was born in Williamstown, Victoria in 1960. My childhood was spent in many places - Victoria, NSW, Malaysia, Africa and Western Australia which is where I now live.
After completing school, I spent some time at University but didn't end up completing a qualification at this time. After marrying and having three sons, I decided to return to study and complete my undergraduate degree. I studied externally and part-time through Murdoch University (WA) to complete a Bachelor of Arts degree majoring in Communication Studies and English and Comparative Literature. My daughter was born during the time I was studying.
I worked at Edith Cowan University as an Editor and then an Educational Designer after completing my degree. During this time I enrolled in a Master of Education course which I completed part-time and online through the University of Southern Queensland. One of the course requirements was a research project which I undertook using social research methods to identify environmental educational needs of market gardeners in the local area. I subsequently published two papers based on this work.
Since leaving the University I have worked in a range of diverse roles. I am now semi-retired and enjoy taking road-trips with my teardrop caravan, spinning and associated fibre crafts, walking, and of course, researching family history. My father researched his own family history, tracing his roots back to the time when his predecessors arrived in Australia. His work, which is supported by documents including birth, marriage and death certificates as well as employment records and passenger lists has provided me with a strong foundation from which to build.

The Profile Improvement Project (PIP) is performing a check-in with project members. Please review the following and let us know if you are content where we have placed you or would like to be more involved.
The Project operates in a team structure. There are currently three participant PIP Teams -- The Maintenance Category Team, the Unknowns Team, and the Biography Team. There is also the Voyage Team which guides new Voyagers. See the Profile Improvement Project Teams for a brief outline of each team.
You're currently identified as a member of the Biography Team Level 1. Biography Team Level 1 works on profiles from their watchlist and other profiles that interest them. Biography Team Level 2 works on orphaned profiles from a provided list. Biography Team Level 3 works on notable profiles from the Project’s Maintenance Categories. Are you happy with the Team you are on? If you are interested in working with a different Team, please let us know.
If you have not already done so, we invite you to join the email GoogleGroup. We use the WikiTree Discord server #profile-improvement channel for our project. Neither is required; we also use the Profile_Improvement tag in G2G for Project announcements.
We thank you for all you do to help the Profile Improvement Project meet its goals. We would like to hear about the successes you’ve had and would also appreciate any feedback you have to help improve the Project.

We're contacting you for the annual Australia Project membership checkin. We really appreciate your involvement in the Project in the last year. Thank you so much for all your help to improve Australian profiles on WikiTree.
Please could you reply to this message, or send me a private message to let us know if you'd like to stay on in the Project, and if you'd like to make any changes to the teams that you belong to. The teams are listed on Australia Project Teams.
If you've moved on to other things for the moment, that's absolutely fine. We'd appreciate if you'd let us know so that we can remove you from the membership list.
Over the past year, Australia Project members have been more active on Discord. We're finding it a fun way to communicate as a project. As you are already a member of the dedicated Australia Project server (WikiAustralia) where all our chat channels are located, we hope you'll join the chat! It's a great way to communicate with other members on your project team/s, or for any general questions.
We're always happy to receive any ideas or suggestions that you have to make our project even better.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

You can respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. If we don’t hear from you within the next three weeks we’ll assume your interests have changed or you no longer are able to participate in the Ireland Project at this time, and your badge will be removed.

Many thanks for all that so many of you have contributed to the project in the past year, and very special thanks to those who answered the project’s call and gave generously of their time to be part of Team Seanchaithe during the most recent connect-a-thon.

Thank you for adding your DNA to WikiTree. The Getting the Best from DNA page will tell you more about how DNA kits are used on WikiTree.
I hope this helps! If you have any questions or problems, let me know.

Congratulations on being Pre-1700 certified.
Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many decendants,coordination is essential. Thanks for joining the AUSTRALIA Project.
Butch - Pre-1700 Greeter
Thank you for your participation in October’s 2020 Source-a-thon. Your contributions helped us to clear over 57,000 profiles that needed sourcing. This makes our Shared Tree all that much better.
Keep up the great work!
