Annie, aged 20Annie Payne is an Australian personal historian, who founded her business, History from the Heart, in 2006. She first commenced interviewing people about their life stories in 1988 as a Bi-centennial project and hasn’t stopped following her passion. Her love of family stories was ignited as a small girl, begging her grandparents to tell her another story from their youth, (both were more than willing to comply!).

She works with people who want more than a family tree. Through face-to-face workshops, on-line courses, webinars, individual projects and some innovative products she has developed, Annie helps people to gather, organise and preserve their family stories for the future. Annie Payne helps people to add buds, flowers and foliage to their family history. Can Annie Payne help you with your lifetime stories?
