We are all made-up of DNA, unique and different but I was fascinated when I read this, in Kew Gardens.  I'll let the photos explain.

My Journey to Birminghan; 20 Days and Counting

Breathe, breathe, 20 days!!!!!  Where has the past six months gone?

It has been a busy 10 days, with lunches, coffee mornings, dinner with friends, SAG Writing Discussion Group, I chair that, the Botany Bay Family Heritage Fair, Mother's Day and organising the last of my transport!

Actually I'm more organised than I thought, with just clothes and research to organise.

SAG Writing Discussion Group was great as I had set a task of using only 250 words and including the five senses, write a family history piece. The pieces were wonerful and one even reduced the group to tears. We all agreed that it was a good excercise.

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.

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.

I'm Back!

When last I wrote I had 22 days to go until I left for RootsTech 2020, now having been home 5 days, it is finished. I had an amazing time, explored and made new friends.

I will be doing a series of posts about my time at RootsTech and exploring some interesting places.

The big change to my page is the new badge in the top left corner. It might look like the old one but if you look very closely you will see different dates. This is going to be a fantastic genealogy conference, on the Sunshine Coast in March 2021. Below is a photo of the international speakers that have been lined up. I can't wait.

 Back row, Judy G Russell, Maurice Gleeson, David Rencher.
 Front row, Paul Milner, Chris Paton, Blaine T Bettinger, Cyndi Ingle.

There will be more information coming but look at the website and consider joining me there.

Bye for now,
Lilian.
