Comment

Ian Dundas Fettes (14 March 1945-) is a New Zealand genealogist living in Australia. He administers the Genealogics website, which he jointly created with the late Leo van de Pas (1942-2016).^[1]

Early life

Fettes was born in Lower Hutt, New Zealand, the only son of Oliver Fettes (1898-1976) and his wife Eileen Allis (1919-2018). His parents divorced when he was only a year old, and he was subsequently brought up in his father's household assisted by paternal aunts. After local schooling, he entered the Victoria University of Wellington to undertake a Bachelor of Commerce degree in accountancy. He worked locally on a number of accounting projects. In 1969, taking a break, he moved to Brisbane, Australia, where he joined the mining industry and completed his degree.^[1]

Later, aged 50, he met up and happily reconciled with his mother and his step family. Later still, aged 67, he married for the first time to his former neighbour Karen.^[1]

Career

Having arrived in Brisbane, Fettes worked as an accounts clerk for a local paint company. He completed his B.Com. degree at the University of Queensland. His career developed from accounts clerk to Finance Manager, as he introduced computerised accounting. In 1981, he left to move into management consultancy, and was involved with several major engineering and resource engineering projects. During that time, he became closely acquainted with personal computers and databases, first at work, then at home as his interests in genealogy developed. After several years as a consultant, he took early retirement in 2008.

Genealogy

While researching his own extensive ancestry, Fettes helped friends and colleagues develop and manage their own genealogical databases. He also joined the internet newsgroup "soc.genealogy.medieval" (Gen. Med.) where he interacted with like-minded researchers and helped newcomers from his extensive research. In 2007, he published in conjunction with Leo van de Pas the book "Plantagenet cousins" detailing thousands of people and their descent from Plantagenet ancestry. ^[1]^[2]

Genealogics

In 2003, an earlier collaboration with the late Leo van de Pas (1942-2016) enabled them to develop and launch Genealogics, a substantial online reference website and database for medieval and other genealogy.^[3] Data is collected from primary and secondary sources, collated, structured and made freely available across the web.^[4] This website is based on TNG software.

Following the death of Leo van de Pas in 2016, Fettes now administers the website with assistance from Leslie Mahler.^[4]
