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 offers parti

Part 3 of Our Trip, Alice Springs to Tennant Creek

Our first full day in Alice Springs and we were on the coach by 7.30am, to head to the Alice Springs Desert Park. Our guide, Renata, showed us around and explained the various plants and their uses. Indigenous People, look at the bush and think about how they can use the plants. They use them in one of three ways, for food - supermarket;  tools - hardware and medicine- pharmacy. The park has several aviaries and a nocturnal house and this cute chap, an Australian Bustard was keeping and eye on us. Part of the park. We also saw a Birds of Prey show and using my phone I managed to capture the Wedge tailed Eagle 'catching' food. It is such a magnificent bird. From the park we went to the Royal Flying Doctor Service base and listened to an informative talk on both the history of the service and how it works in the 21st century.  This is such a vital service for those living in outback Australia. Next stop was the Old Telegraph Station , established in 1872.
