Want to connect to culture

I often struggled with my identity, I'm quite pale, green eyes, strawberry blonde hair. My mob is from a mission in Molong, well that's where my great great great grandmother was, her daughter was taken to Alec town.

Due to being apart of the stolen generation, my great grandfather never acknowledge his culture, he often said we were Syrian, which is not correct, and I do understand why it happened as my great great Nana moved to Sydney so her children weren't taken.

I just want to understand more about where I come from. I know my European history. But unfortunately the indigenous history was hidden and lost.

What is the first step? Can I even do it now? I'm 30. Is it too late? Do I even bother? Would I even be accepted due to my pale skin?
