About Our Family Research


My name is Ben Elder at the moment it is the 3rd of Oct 2000, I am 16 and 3/4. I decided to do a family tree to give my familys future generations a chance to here a story from a distant or mabye even dead relation.

I am the son of Phillip and Lynda Elder.

She was the 2nd child of four, Gary William John born in 1949. She lived in Toogoolawah for most of her childhood, until her dad died then with her mother moved to Auchenflower, Brisbane. Gary went into the army and Married a Vet Nurse, Catherine Louise Wetherall, known by family as Louise. They had 3 Daugthers, Stephanie born in 1977, Naomi born in 1979 and Lucinda Jane (Lucy), in 1981, they moved to Gladstone and then to Burpengary in Redcliffe.

Lynda met Phillip around 1980-1982 at a Football Match they married on the 27th of August 1983 in St David's Church, Chelmer in Brisbane. I was born on the 4th of December 1983, then came Anita Jade on the 9th January 1986, Caitlin Jean-Esther on the 8th May 1988 and then Dylan John in 1991, we moved from Red Hill where we were living to Wacol in 1991, and we still live there to this day.
