Carol Turner was born in Victoria, Australia in the 1970s. She is the oldest of two children.

In 1999, Carol founded a website called "The Mighty Big Tree". This project has been intermittently active over the years. It is currently online as a blog, but is not actively updated at present.

From 2001 until 2006 she was known on Genealogy forums and mailing lists as Carol Turner Beckett. During this time she contributed to FamilySearch and other projects, including John C. Wilton's online tree that expanded on the research of Robert Wilton.

Carol's four main family lines are Turner (Powell), Wilton, Hanniver and Robertson. She aspires to create or join a One-Name Study for Hanniver at some point.

Carol's pet project over 30 years of research has been her great great grandmother, Harlettee Louisa (Groombridge) Rothery (1846-1921), and she considers that she is likely the foremost living expert on the life of this interesting lady, conceding there is probably not stiff competition for this title.

DNA has added an entirely new dimension to family history research and Carol is passionate about learning everything she can from DNA.

At present, Carol is a mother of two teenagers and works full-time in the telecommunications industry. With a lot on her plate genealogy is still her passion, but she is often unable to give it the time she would like to. If you have an enquiry please do contact Carol, but be sure to prompt her if you don't hear back - she's given to forgetting to reply to emails that she wants to give particular care to in her response because that's who she is as a person.
