Something Different.

Today I'm going to share links to some of my fellow bloggers posts. I really enjoy reading others' posts and they range from a very new blogger to seasoned ones, so enjoy.


https://www.churchesoftasmania.com    Duncan Grant's Churches of Tasmania is a quirkey blog that is so informative. Who knew that  Tasmania has so many different and interesting churches. Duncan's lastest post is number 372 and there is more to come. (373 hit the site as I was writing this.)


https://www.legalgenealogist.com/  Judy G Russell, is a retired lawyer, hence the name of her blog but it is often anything but legal.  The lastes post is about Private Laws and I suggest you have a read as I had no idea such things existed.

https://adultgapyearwriter.blogspot.com/ Teresa Bentos is a 'baby' blogger haven written her first post only last month. Teresa is writing, what will be a very interesting book, about a big part of her nursing life. No spoilers, read the blog for why she is writing. I'm looking forward to both reading the book and following Teresa's journey, through her blog.

geniaus.blogspot.com  Jill Ball, aka Geniaus, is a wonderful blogger and her post are a delight to read. Jill has been an Ambassador at RootsTech and her interviews are wonderful. She also collects interesting words or phrases, relating to Genealogy.

https://www.lonetester.com/   Alona Tester is a young Australian blogger, who you might know through both Gould Genelogy and Unlock The Past. Alona's posts are always interesting and entertaining. Her post on 10 January 2019, is one as it is about rules for women cyclists.


So here are five of the many I read and will give you some more, another time.

Happy Reading,
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...
