Biography
Sue was born in Tasmania. She has written a lot about her family history in a blog called O'er the seas we go[1] about both her convict and free settler ancestors as well as using DNA to prove some problems in her family tree.
Sue Wyatt was born in Tasmania, Australia
A couple of things that have had a great influence on Sue are:
- The Girl Guide Movement where Sue learnt about leadership roles, coping in the outdoors and working as part of a team
- Her parents who taught the value of persistence and family values as well as a love of the outdoors, travelling and history
Sue was a teacher for about 37 years before retiring in 2011. She worked in both primary and secondary school where she mainly taught history and information technology as well as the basic subjects.
Since retirement, Sue now spends her time with doing her own family history and volunteers one day a week at the local library where she works face to face with people wanting to find out about their ancestors.
Taking part with WikiTree
Sue loves taking part in the different thons run by Wikitree and is a member of the Toddling Tortoises team each time one is run.
Sue Wyatt participated with the Toddlin' Tortoises during the 2023 Source-a-Thon, adding sources to 32 previously unsourced profiles.
Since May 2021 when Sue joined the WikiTree family, she has spent most of her time adding her own relatives and ancestors to the global tree. She has added detailed profiles to many of her direct ancestors but hopes, in the future, other members of the family will write detailed biographies of their relatives.
Sue also spent time learning more about WikiTree and joined the Australia project. This has taught Sue about things like categories and how to add stickers. It is important to connect with others so you can ask questions. Sue found being a member of Discord has been especially helpful.
Last year 2023, Sue worked on a project of her own related to the North Mt Lyell mining disaster in 1912. Sue's great grandfather and his two brothers survived the disaster but Sue is researching, writing biographies and connecting to the global WikiTree all the miners who died as well as those who survived or were rescued. [2]
Sue was also interviewed in November 2023 for Member of the Week and you can find out more about Sue from reading this G2G post.
This year 2024, Sue is taking part in two challenges.
- mini project connecting those who died on the Montevideo Maru in WWII. [3]
- 16 for 16 challenge which celebrates WikiTree's 16th year. This will be more difficult as it covers the whole year. Some activities are easy, while others will take a lot of effort.[4]
Sue Wyatt achieved the 16 For 16 award for completing 16 missions in our 2024 16 For 16 Challenge.

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.
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!

It's time for the annual Australia Project membership checkin. Thank you so much for contributing to the project and Australian profiles on WikiTree during the last year. We really appreciate you!
If you would like to stay in the project, please reply to this message or send me a private message to let us know that you would like to stay on. Alternatively, if your WikiTree and research interests have moved away from Australia, please let us know and we can remove you from the membership list for the moment. You will, of course, be very welcome to rejoin the project down the track whenever you want to.
We are also keen to know if you want to make any changes to the team or teams that you want to focus on. Take a look on Australia Project Teams to see what teams there are to choose from. If you want to discuss this, or have any questions or suggestions about the Australia Project we'd love to hear your ideas.
Thanks for taking the time to get back to us!
Kind Regards

I will stay with the project and continue with my own tree as well as links to other Tasmanians mentioned on the WikiTree.

To keep up with discussions about Australia, don't forget Australia to the tags that you follow. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
We look forward to working with you, Gillian, co-Leader, Australia Project.
The "thons" happen quarterly - there's going to be two other connect-a-thons this year, and one source-a-thon (adding sources to profiles that currently have no valid sources) - for that one we usually work from the 'unsourced' list for our preferred state. The Australian team is the Wizards of Aus.
Thanks again for signing the Honor Code some time ago. I wanted to check in with you to see how things are going. How do you like WikiTree so far? Have the tips in the New Member How To Pages been helpful or have they left you with questions?
Please let me know if you have any questions about WikiTree. To contact me, log in to WikiTree and go to your profile. Use the Reply link below my comment to be sure that I will be notified. If really needed, you can also click my name to send a private message, or post a public comment on my profile page, but pressing reply is by far the easiest. It's really is great to have you on board.
Michel ~ WikiTree Messenger
P.S. To find reliable sources for your profiles, go to the Family Tree & Tools tab; select Genealogy Research and scroll down near the bottom of that list and select Research with RootsSearch. There are over 20 websites to access from there.
Thank you for signing the Honor Code.

Thank you for upgrading. I am pleased to welcome you as a member of the WikiTree family. Your contributions will go a long way to joining the world’s trees together.
I would suggest starting with the New Member How-To pages, they will save you a lot of time and frustration.
Please add as much information as you can, with sources, as it all helps to turn a “name” back into a person. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do.
Thank you for adding your DNA to WikiTree. Getting the Best from DNA will tell you more about how DNA kits are used on WikiTree.
Have fun collaborating on your ancestors!
