Biography
Veronica (Coat) Williams is a Fellow of the Society of Australian Genealogists, awarded in 2023.
Veronica has completed the Profile Improvement Project's Voyage
Veronica (Coat) Williams has completed the England Project's Post 1700 Orphan Trail I.
Veronica (Coat) Williams participated with Super Aussie Genies during the Jan 2024 Connect-a-Thon, and added 165 connections.
Whilst I had dabbled in drawing family trees as a child, I became very interested in genealogy shortly after my Uncle Laurie died and I was given some old family research papers by my Uncle Johnny in about 2006. Laurie had begun researching the family back in the early 50's and had gathered a lot of data about the family in Australia and extended family members. My Uncle Lionel was also a great early influence. I can recall many experiences in my early childhood, tramping around grave sites looking for headstones of interest or significance, receiving great accolades for any discovery from Lionel.
I initially focussed on trying to find our overseas roots and my paternal line. I had some great discoveries including finding three brothers on my CASSIDY line all transported as convicts to Australia in 1830, including one escapee!! How exciting and how sad not to be able to share it with Laurie.
It was a long hard slog back then when we had to wade through microfilm and travel great distances to find material. How wonderful it is today that so much information is so readily available on the internet. You will see me in other places with the username genemonkey! How funny that I picked that name, I must have known that down the track I was going to develop an intense interest in DNA research. I took my first DNA test in 2010 and have found it a fascinating research tool and a great way to validate your paper research.
In 2011, I completed a Certificate in Genealogical Research with the Society of Australian Genealogists whilst I was living with my husband in remote parts of Australia: Katherine, Alice Springs and Darwin. My aim had been to start doing research for other people when my own tree was finished. How naive! Does it ever finish...it's a lifelong journey... and a great excuse for overseas travel!!
In 2013, I joined Wikitree! I've been a member of the Australia project since 2014 and appointed leader in 2015!
Veronica (Coat) Williams is a member of the Australia Project.
Veronica (Coat) Williams is a member of the Australian Convicts Team.
In 2015, as a member of the Society of Australian Genealogists, I started co-ordinating a DNA Research Group based in Sydney, to help increase my knowledge of the fascinating field of genetic genealogy.
In 2016, I was appointed as the co-administrator for the FTDNA Coats Surname Project, co-ordinating the Family Finder (autosomal) results for the project.
In 2017, at the Clan Gathering in Enniskillen, Fermanagh, Northern Ireland I was appointed as the DNA officer for the Cassidy Clan. Work is slowly progressing. During this trip to Ireland we had the privilege to go to the top of Belmore Mountain, the 'alleged' scene of the crime of our convict ancestors, which led to their transportation to Australia in 1830. The event was covered by the BBC, much to my surprise! You can see the video here. Please join our Facebook Group if you have tested your DNA and have an interest in the Cassidy's.
In late 2019, I took over the role of administrator for the FTDNA Cassidy Surname Project and also established the FTDNA 'Brittons of Ireland ' Project.
In 2020, I joined the FTDNA County Wexford Ireland Project as a co-administrator.
In 2021, I joined the FTDNA Courtney Surname Project as a co-administrator.
In 2022, I established an FTDNA project for Moyriesk and Rathclooney in County Clare and am the project administrator.
Veronica (Coat) Williams achieved the 15 For 15 award for completing 15 missions in our 2023 15 For 15 Challenge.
In 2023, I was appointed as a Fellow of the Society of Australian Genealogists, for my contributions in building the genetic research capability within the Society.

DNA Research Summary
I embarked on my DNA journey in late 2010. Since then I have been lucky enough to have had my mother and three of her siblings tested which has enabled me to utilise the Visual Phasing technique to be able to start to map my maternal segments back to my 4 maternal great grandparents. As far as my paternal side goes, I have limited testers to help me. I am an only child and have to go back to distant cousins on both my fathers maternal and paternal sides. Thank you to those who have helped me with this.
More information can be found on the following pages:
- The Genemonkey blog now includes My DNA Confirmation table;
- My DNA Research Summary for consolidated Wikitree DNA confirmation information;
- DNA Autosomal Confirmations category page;
- DNA Painter - My chromosome map.
Our Australian Royalty
You may or not know that in Australia, having a convict in your ancestry is often referred to as 'Australian Royalty'! As part of the Australia project I have researched the convicts in our combined families and we are now up to 14! You can see a list of our convicts here.
Family Stories
- It was always said that we had a family connection to the famous 'Liberator of Ireland' Daniel O'Connell. After many years of research and with many thanks to my 6th cousin Liam, the connection has been found via my 4th great grand aunt daughter of Roe Swyny who married Maurice O'Connell in 1791. Maurice is a third cousin to Daniel O'Connell but an even closer relation to Daniels wife Mary O'Connell, who is his 1st cousin once removed. Whilst somewhat distant and only by marriage, I expect it is not surprising that at the time the connection would have been a very proud one to have for most Irishmen!
- Also said to be descended from Brian Boru on my mothers side; but isn't every Irishman!
Family Mysteries
- The DeLancy's and the DeLaundon's - still works in progress!
- Who is my paternal grandmothers father? A DNA research project. Which NOLL is it?
Blogs
- genemonkey25, starting small in the 52 ancestors challenge. A blog focussing on genetic research associated with my family;
- Genemonkey explains - An information source, created to support the new chromosome analysis course I am developing and presenting for the Society of Australian Genealogists;
- Finding George Courtney c1841 - A place to consolidate research associated with my Courtney brick wall;
- DNA Sydney - An information source and discussion forum for members of the Society of Australian Genealogists DNA Research Group; and
- rayver33 Here and There - Mainly an overseas travel blog, but it also incorporates The NT Sea Change, 40 places you must see before you die and the Harness Pilgrimage.

Digital Afterlife
In the event of my death, or should I become unable through physical or mental illness to continue my work here, I place the profiles I manage into the caring hands of the Wikitree Admin. If any member(s) of my family have the desire to continue what I have started, I ask that they be allowed to manage those profiles and have the guidance to continue in an appropriate manner. Any locked profiles that I manage I believe to contain only information that can be found in the public domain, so they may be dealt with as privacy would allow.
Only the Trusted List can access the following:
- Veronica's formal name
- full middle name (A.)
- e-mail address
- exact birthdate
- birth location
- images (22)
- private children's names (1)
- spouse's name and marriage information

The duration of Colony of New South Wales extends from 1788 to 1900, and I would assume that all of the families would have actually been born in the Colony after the initial arrival of the family immigrants to Australia!!!
Megan in Sydney
I am laughing so much, now, because I forgot WHY I asked the question in the first place!!!
However, I will remember that it is the time until and up to Federation!

I am interested to connect up with someone who is exploring Ann Forbes' DNA. Would this be yourself, or is there someone else who has taken this on? I have 6 family members connected to a cluster of Ann Forbes descendants (29 Ancestry matches). However, Ann is not our direct ancestor, and the connection is back a bit further....somewhere. Who would be interested to look at this further? Cheers Karen
I commented about my perception that individual profiles should only be linked to the lowest category possible. I agree with only attaching individual to the lowest category possible. However, in my family. pushing down to townlands actually hides the relationships with family inside the same county.
I noticed that you have a fair few convict ancestors (Australian Royalty) as you put it, I also have 6 convict ancestors and one female ancestor that I suspect got sent out as a orphan poor house girl, Christian Gallagher who I have no idea how she came to be in Australia pre 1850.
Anyhow, thanks for your good work. Mark H.
Re Irish Townlands. I've joined the Irish Project and noticed your interests in co. Fermanagh. I don't share your enthusiasm for creating categories down to Townlands. I think the collections are too small. I'm looking for family connections in co. Cavan. I've identified family in 4 different townlands. The most useful category to collect them together is a Barony, but I'm happy with civil Parish. Regards, Steve.
We are sorry to lose you as a member of the Connectors Project, but we understand that life gets busy and interests shift. Please know that you will always be welcome to rejoin the project in the future if you wish.
Thank you so much for your participation; we genuinely appreciate it.
