Stevens–Martyn family history archive
In the early 1960s, my father, George Woodfull Stevens (10 Feb 1929 – 28 Dec 2011) began collecting family history materials. He was still collecting in the year before his death. Over the decades, he acquired a multitude of information, back several generations; collaborated with distant relatives on gathering material and organising family reunions; wrote several family histories and biographies; and collected objects, including war medals, 19th century photographs and correspondence from Charles Kingsford Smith and Lester Brain.
