Our Researchers

Each member of our team brings years of experience in genealogical research, archival work, and family history documentation. Based in Australia and specialising in Australian records, we also work across international archives and databases to deliver accurate, meaningful results for clients worldwide.

Joel – Owner of FHBYJ & Active Researcher

I am the owner and founder of FHBYJ Genealogy, and I focus primarily on online-based research with direct access to archives and cemeteries throughout Victoria.

For specialised archive requests and cemetery visits outside my direct coverage area, FHBYJ works with a trusted network of independent contracted researchers across Australia. While they operate independently, all work is coordinated through FHBYJ to ensure consistent, professional, and reliable service standards.
