Brian Reid

Born in England, I worked internationally as a chartered accountant and in senior management roles before retiring in Melbourne over a decade ago. A lifelong interest in family history led me to join the Genealogical Society of Victoria in 2019, where my research has flourished. I have embraced special interest groups—particularly Counties of Northern England (CONE) and the Midlands—completed the University of Tasmania’s Family History diploma, and had stories published in Ancestor, including a competition winner. Now active on the GSV Council and Executive Committee, I co-convene CONE and contribute widely to the Society’s activities.
