Shaun Gilmartin has specialised in history and science programming as a TV executive producer and writer for more than two decades, working for broadcasters across the globe. His documentaries have won awards in the UK, US and Europe. He is the co-author of The Family History Book: How To Trace Your Ancestors in Australia (UNSW Press, 2024).
Shaun came to family history in his late 30s. Until then, history meant ‘world history’ through his work in news and current affairs. The trigger to discover his own family history only began when his mother gave him a photograph of his father. It was a seminal moment which proved to be the catalyst to research his paternal family line. It’s a journey that continues to this day.
In 2024, Cassie and Shaun launched their brand We Are So Into History.
