Welcome to the Devine family history site for the descendants of James Devine and Annie Gillatly.
It has been researched by their descendants Gwen, Kim, John and Leon. With the help of our families it has taken several years and is not complete as further research will uncover new facts. It will provide a web source for others.
Our research from the Port Adelaide Library, the Library of South Australia, and the Genealogical Society of the Northern Territory was helpful. A great deal of information came from the Albury and District Historical Society, giving us plenty of leads to follow up on. Finally, many visits to the NSW State Archives and the State Library of NSW enabled us to piece together our family history from the time James Devine arrived in South Australia. Researching his family in Scotland has been difficult and so we have concentrated on his descendants in Australia.
We welcome visitors to view our site and comment if they wish. We are always hoping more of our cousins will join us.
"How shall a man escape from his ancestors,
or draw off from his veins the black drop
which he drew from his father’s or mother’s life?"
