A to Z Blogging Challenge

-
Some of you might have noticed a new badge on my blog, the A-Z April Blogging Challenge.

For April I'm going to blog, every day, except Sunday, using the letters of the alphabet. Friday April 1 is the start and the letter is A. This will continue through the month to Z.

As it's name implies to will be a challenge to find something with that different letters, but hey, that's the fun of it!

 I'm not going to do a theme, as such, mine will be a 'Mixed Bag' of different things that catch my eye and that I want to share. Sometimes old photos, sometimes a book review, family history etc.

I hope that you will enjoy my challenge and maybe next year take part as well.

Bye for now,
Lilian.

    Hello Lilian, I’ve just called in from We are genealogy bloggers and wanted to say how much I’ve enjoyed reading your posts. I started my blog (For travelling the bride wore) http://flitneyfamily.blogspot.co.uk/ in a rush back in 2014 and was enjoying it immensely until a seven-week visit from family stopped me in my tracks. Since then I’ve been unable to pick it up, but I hope joining We are genealogy bloggers and visiting other blogs will inspire me.
    I have another blog at marchhousebookscom.blogspot.co.uk/ I went right back to that after the New Year so have no idea why I’m finding the family one so difficult.
    Please forgive me prattling on I was just going to say hello, but somehow I found myself confessing all to you! Barbara
    PS Good luck with the A to Z challenge.

      Hello Barbara, thank you for your comments. I'm trying to be more disciplined with my blogging and hope this challenge helps. I'll have a look at your blogs, as I try to read friends ones. I don't mind prattle. Bye Lilian

Lost in DNA Weekend Part 1. (my 600th post)

-

Now the title of this post might have you scratching your head and wondering, 'what is she going on about?'  But if you belong to the Society of Australian Genealogists,  https://www.sag.org.au/   you will know what I'm talking about. Twice a year the Society has 'Lost In' weekends, covering a wide range of topics, some are face-to-face and some are webinars. Both are great. This past weekend was held at the Portside Conference Centre, Sydney, on Saturday and Sunday. Some of the group, early on Saturday morning. The room was filled, both days. The topic for the weekend was DNA and whilst we aren't NCIS Agents, looking for a killer, we are still trying to find that elusive ancestor, who is just out of our reach. Or so they thought! Saturday was a warm, humid day in Sydney, just the sort of day you want, when digging for ancestors. The Society had put together a varied program, so that novices and experts were covered. Martyn Killion was our chair and sta...

Transcription Agents.

-
Hi, As it is very wet both in NSW, Victoria and Queensland, genealogists just might spend their weekend doing research and ordering certificates. Below are the details of transcription agents, very useful people. Here in New South Wales (NSW), we have three transcription agents, Joy Murrin, Marilyn Rowan and Laurie Turtle. These wonderful people and save you money, when you want a certificate, to verify a birth, death or marriage. What, might you ask is a transcript? A transcript is an actual copy of a document, everything written on it. This is very helpful if you are looking for say a marriage and know they split-up. I have several transcripts of different marriages, where in the comments section is, decree absolute and a date, etc. or who gave permission, if the parties were under age. Joy Murrin , of Joy Murrin Family History Service, offers transcripts for NSW, Victoria, England and Wales, Scotland and New Zealand. http://www.joyinfamilyhistory.com/ Joy also off...

The Connection is Back!!!

-
 As a genealogist I can leave mysteries alone, a mention of something has me looking for information, to find out more and well with this 'connection,' I couldn't leave it alone. With my two previous posts,  Nicolls/Nicholls   and  Connection  I thought I had it sorted, well no. Looking at Christina Nicolls  and her age had me thinking that Richard Henry Daly,   couldn't be her son, could he? I did a search on Ancestry for Richard and found three different years of birth, 1920, 1924 and 1926.  Given that Christina was born in 1875 (10273/1875), she would have been 45, 49 or 51 years old when Richard was born.   While it was a push, she could have had Richard in 1920, but searching didn't give me any births of a Richard to a Christina in 1920, using the New South Wales, Birth Death and marriages site, (NSW BDM). I then got Christina's death certificate, (03867/1956) and with careful checking found all the children, listed, except Dai...
