Notă biografică

Sharyn Merkley is a family historian with a life-long passion for history and a Brisbane resident from birth. She is a researcher for the Genealogical Society of Queensland, which involves undertaking specilaist research projects primarily focussed on early Queensland settlers. She has worked on the Annie Wheeler Project loooking at the lives of over 2500 World War I soldiers and is currently working on an index of Battle of Waterloo veterans who settled in Australia after the conflict. She regularly volunteers as a library research assistant and is currently completing further studies on family history through the University of Tasmania.With a specific interest in the local and social history of Brisbane, Sharyn was inspired to write the story of the 1864 fires by a chance discovery of a newspaper article about the personal impacts of the fire on the citizens of the young city. She was determined to bring to light the stories of both ordinary and well-known personalities whose lives were touched by the fires - people who contributed to the early commerce of Brisbane and helped shape its growth.
