Clem started his family history research journey in 1986 in Canberra, the year his first child was born, and joined QFHS soon after moving to Brisbane in 1995. His participation in the Society has expanded since retirement from a career in IT. Clem is Coordinator of the Technical Advisory Group (aka the TAG team) and is focussed on the development of a new website for the Society. 

Clem is a Library Assistant and an active member of several Special Interest Groups, particularly the Family History Writers group. Writing is a particular joy and he has contributed a number of articles to the Society’s journal and published a book in 2021 Shaking the Mulga, an Australian family history which, to his delight, won the 2022 QFHS Family History Book Award.

Clem has been a Committee member since 2021.  His particular focus on the MC is to continue helping the Society achieve our strategic priority to enhance our digital footprint.
