The influence of history on my life has been profoundly positive, enabling personal growth, fostering wisdom through lessons from the past, and nurturing valuable friendships and community bonds. Additionally, during challenging times, history has been a lifeline for me. Although I faced the tragic loss of both my parents at a relatively young age, never had the opportunity to meet my grandparents, and witnessed the passing of many uncles and aunts, I choose to focus on the resilience and strength that history has provided. In the pages of this autobiography, I aim to offer a glimpse into my life while upholding respect for the memories of my family members, removing any mention of the hardships and anguish endured. _ Campbell

History remembers only the celebrated, genealogy remembers them all. - Lawrence Overmire
I never enjoyed history class in school because we seemed to focus mostly on world wars. However, I have come to realize that genealogy is a completely different type of history. It's the history of your own ancestors and it can be so fascinating to uncover the stories of normal people throughout the centuries. My ancestors had their struggles, their accomplishments, and their passions, and learning about them inspires me every day. Genealogy is the best kind of history, in my opinion, because it allows you to connect with your personal past in a meaningful way.
Paternal vs Maternal ancestors
Have you ever wondered about the occupations of your ancestors? I know I have, so I created this list to showcase all the known occupations in my family tree. Some of these jobs may no longer exist due to advances in technology and changes in social conditions. It's interesting to think about how our ancestors made a living and how the world has changed over time.

For over 150 years, most ancestors who migrated to New Zealand were from Britain (England, Scotland, Wales) and Ireland. Yet for them, New Zealand was the most distant place on earth. The journey by sea took 100 days, and voyagers endured rough seas, cramped conditions and illness. Unless they were offered free travel or other rewards, many people were reluctant to emigrate except my brave ancestors.
Fun Campbell Fact! - There are 116 years between the Kendall family (1814) and the Braddock family (1930) to arrive in New Zealand.

Research needed:
The convicts were transported as punishment for crimes committed in Britain and Ireland. In Australia, their lives were hard as they helped build the young colony. When they had served their sentences, most stayed on and some became successful settlers, between 1788 and 1868, about 162,000 convicts were transported from Britain and Ireland to various penal colonies in Australia. I have found that two direct ancestors were convicts, both served 14 years with totally different crimes, their families also moved to Australia as free settlers years later.

Marcus King, Reconstruction of the Signing of the Treaty of Waitangi 1840 |
The Treaty of Waitangi is New Zealand’s founding document. It takes its name from the place in the Bay of Islands where it was first signed, on 6 February 1840. This day is now a public holiday in New Zealand. The Treaty is an agreement, in Māori and English, that was made between the British Crown and about 540 Māori rangatira (chiefs).
Growing numbers of British migrants arrived in New Zealand in the late 1830s, and there were plans for extensive settlement. Around this time there were large-scale land transactions with Māori, unruly behaviour by some settlers and signs that the French were interested in annexing New Zealand. The British government was initially unwilling to act, but it eventually realised that annexing the country could protect Māori, regulate British subjects and secure commercial interests.
Lieutenant-Governor William Hobson had the task of securing British sovereignty over New Zealand. He relied on the advice and support of, among others, James Busby, the British Resident in New Zealand. The Treaty was prepared in just a few days. Missionary Henry Williams and his son Edward translated the English draft into Māori overnight on 4 February. About 500 Māori debated the document for a day and a night before it was signed on 6 February.
Hobson and others stressed the Treaty’s benefits while playing down the effects of British sovereignty on rangatiratanga (chiefly authority). Reassured that their status would be strengthened, many chiefs supported the agreement. About 40 chiefs, starting with Hōne Heke, signed the Māori version of the Treaty on 6 February. By September, another 500 had signed the copies of the document that were sent around the country. Some signed while remaining uncertain; others refused or had no chance to sign. Almost all signed the Māori text. The Colonial Office in England later declared that the Treaty applied to Māori tribes whose chiefs had not signed. British sovereignty over the country was proclaimed on 21 May 1840.[1]

Since beginning my genealogical journey, I've connected with over 80 distant cousins from all over the world, Shared photos and stories, learnt more about my family DNA, and helped over 150 unrelated people find their own ancestors
I created the Braddock Name Study to connect all Braddocks, which includes connecting lost families with their distant cousins and establishing a small community to share family stories. Three years later I have helped two adopted Braddock's find their birth parents, connected families with reunions and widen the scope of Braddock family research available free via WikiTree. Wikitree has been great with presenting information for each family, Each different family on WikiTree are categorized into Clans, as of December 2018, there are 17 clans with over 70% of Braddock Profiles in a clan. We are very strict on what is considered a source, how the information is presented and if it's reliable. In March 2015 there were only 120 profiles, now, there are just under 4000 profiles (mostly researched by myself) and still room for growth in many locations. I have created a Facebook page (Braddock Genealogy), on this page we give helpful research information, the latest progress and the profile of the week. Like the page to share your support.
Braddock research in New Zealand and Australia was a huge success in 2018, I collected the Birth, Deaths and marriages from the Australia and New Zealand government BDM's and created large tables for freespace pages that showed every record and linked them to profiles on Wikitree.
Since the success of researching New Zealand and Australian Braddock's, I decided to have bigger and bolder plans, At the start of 2019 I had created large spreadsheets of Braddock's born in England and Wales, the information was sourced from online GRO Index and FreeBMD, The date range was 1837-1940. as of June 2020, I have managed to create 2444 profiles on WikiTree (91.3%) with a further 234 people to add.

I have the oldest traceable Braddock line, dating over 460 years or 13 generations. these Braddocks originated in Rocester, Staffordshire, and seven generations were born in Macclesfield, Cheshire. In Macclesfield, my ancestors worked as Gas and Rates Collectors, Confectioners, Grocers, Farmers, and in the Silk industry. It's been 88 years since my Great-grandfather Jonas and his family arrived in New Zealand from Macclesfield. Our family belongs in Braddock Clan 1, the most researched Braddock family and now the largest on WikiTree.
In February 2017, I created a very detailed WikiTree Braddock Register, which contains all Braddock profiles, we use this list to show the true information on Clans, location, Common names, Privacy levels and if the profile is sourced with reliable records. I have included the most common variants including Bradock, Braddocke, Bradocke, and Brodock.
I am grateful for the guidance, assistance and encouragement I have received from so many people in New Zealand, England, Sweden, the United States and Australia. Friends, Relatives, and the staff at museums, council offices and archives have been unfailingly helpful, And I acknowledge their contributions. I would like to thank Stuard Greer, a reporter from Macclesfield Express, Richard Foy, Chief Archivist and General Manager of Archives New Zealand, Waitaki District Libraries and Museum. and Paperspast for being free to access; and a large number of family and friends including Graham Braddock, Ian Braddock, Bev Roper, Alison O'Sullivan, late Jason Smith, Kathryn Smith, Gunner Leman, Valerie Willis, Kathleen Grant, Linda Trickett, and Fiona Jackson
