Every year GenieAus, Jill Ball, looks at the positives in her year and asks fellow Genies to do the same. Here is my list, I only missed four in the 20. 1)       An elusive ancestor I found was ; I haven’t added any new ancestor, this year, but I’ve continued to add information to most ancestors. 2)       A great newspaper article I found was; Searching for something else, I found a small notice for the Golden Wedding Anniversary of Paul’s great, great-grandparents, Frederick James Ironside and Martha Amelia Bird. 3)       A geneajourney I took was;   I wrote and published a small family history book on the Vaughan/Chasmar side. 4)       An important record I found was; Searching FamilySearch I found what could have been the birth of Paul’s great-grandfather, Samuel Magill.

Well to be precise; The 14th Australasian Congress on Genealogy and Heraldry. I haven't been to congress before, so I don't really know what to expect, except that I will know people attending. Jill Ball of GeniAus will be there, Christine, Sue and several others from the writing group are also going. It is going to be fun. Leaving my husband to batch and look after the dog. Of the four days, I'm doing two and selecting what talks to go to has been difficult. I've tended to go with areas I'm researching and a couple that sounded interesting. Bye for now, Lilian
