My father (Brian) has collated lots of family tree information. It's a long term project getting it here on the web. This information was updated last on 12-Jan-2006. For security's sake, the information is kept private -- please just drop an email to Brian or Mike if you'd like access.

The most known Lempriere family member is John L. the author of Lempriere's Classical Dictionary -- a reference book on mythology published in 1788.
In the late 1990's, Lawrence Norfolk took the liberty of writing a novel purporting to be about John L's writing of the massive work. Norfolk's work is entirely fictional.

My dad, Brian L. has published two books:

• Ultrasound and Elastic Waves: Frequently Asked Questions
  A technical introduction to the physics of ultrasound, mostly readable by the layman but including the mathematical apendices for the professional
• My Exotic Youth
  Describes life in the islands of Mauritius and Jersey in the 1930s and 1940s, with some history and geography of these places

Another recognized member is Thomas L. who placed a tidal marker in Tasmania in the early 1800's and made methodical measurements about tidal and climate data. This marker and data are still in use today as the earliest accurate measurements for "global warming" analysis. More information about this work can be found at Port Aurthur Tidal Benchmark (CSIRO) (local copy, 182Kb .pdf)
