Her dedication to this research seemingly knew no bounds, and the
final result was way beyond what I thought possible. Not only was
Jennie able to put into chronological order all that I gave her, but
she found out so much that we had no idea about. She left no stone
unturned, and found out the good and the bad, without fear or
favour, which is exactly what I was looking for.
We were extremely proud of our family prior to Jennie’s completed
history, but the published Fahey Family History took us all to a
totally new level. The completed work contains so much that we had
no idea existed. It is easy to read, basically in chronological
order, and is made so much more interesting because of the number of
photos, documents, grave sites and other valuable “accessories” to
the facts, that have been included.
Jennie virtually became an
extended member of my family during her painstaking research, and
her excitement over each new find matched my own. I could never have
imagined that all the members of my humble family, from their first
entry into Tasmania on a convict ship in 1849, would be remembered
in such a manner that all the world could see.
I cannot thank Jennie enough for her dedication to the cause, her
extreme professionalism and compassion, and her genuine delight in
each new find. We developed a genuine friendship during and since
the book was published, and I thank her immensely, both personally,
and on behalf of the entire Fahey clan.
