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 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.
