<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Constantia;"><span style="font-size: small;">By utilising the now very large amount of data available, with 3 million plus people tested, has allowed Ancestry with large amounts of computer power to analyse results and have been able to map DNA in specific locations and follow that DNA. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Constantia;"><span style="font-size: small;">My father was born in England, my mother is a fourth generation Australian of English, Irish and Welsh origin so I would expect to have a good chance with an English community. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Constantia;"><span style="font-size: small;">This is very promising and can only be expected to get much better as more people from these areas test. Interestingly I actually end up with two genetic communities:</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Constantia;"><span style="font-size: small;">Ancestry has separated the major communities so far into Europe, North America and South and Central America then each of these has sub-groups: (I would expect this to also develop further in the future).</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Constantia;"><span style="font-size: small;"> We live in interesting times and with the advent of analysis of big data sets, enhanced bioinformatics and the use of major computing power we are going to see some amazing things in the future.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Constantia;"><span style="font-size: small;">Even with all the caveats of ancestral markers and the way they are inherited and also potentially incorrect trees (the big data aspect hopefully will even that out) I can this could provide some very interesting clues for adoptees and for genealogists in general.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lavSwHNVy5o/WHWuPmgx7ZI/AAAAAAAADTs/pzVWG7twOlsvms7N7Ribgo88zkHHbSneACLcB/s1600/DNA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lavSwHNVy5o/WHWuPmgx7ZI/AAAAAAAADTs/pzVWG7twOlsvms7N7Ribgo88zkHHbSneACLcB/s1600/DNA.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Last year (22 June 2016) Ancestry announced they had just passed the <a href="https://blogs.ancestry.com/ancestry/2016/06/22/2-million-people-strong/" target="_blank">two million people</a> tested mark. Eleven months prior to that it was one million.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-g6Yfnc0PFuA/WHWuyj12iTI/AAAAAAAADTw/qjl_U8MGq9MZco8lRgY6dnfhCQUd39z-ACLcB/s1600/graph.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="257" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-g6Yfnc0PFuA/WHWuyj12iTI/AAAAAAAADTw/qjl_U8MGq9MZco8lRgY6dnfhCQUd39z-ACLcB/s400/graph.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">They also announced that they had sold 1.4 million tests in the last three months of 2016 and to put this in perspective they sold 390 000 more tests in the last three months of 2016 than they had sold in 2015. There has been mass advertising in a number of countries along with some pretty decent discounts so not a surprise for the good sales. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The expansion of Ancestry DNA test kit sales early last year into <a href="https://blogs.ancestry.com/ancestry/2016/02/23/ancestrydna-now-offered-in-29-new-countries/" target="_blank">29 new countries </a>will have also had an impact on those new kits being sold and hopefully new cousins being found. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It is unknown how many of those tests are still to come back for testing but it would not be any surprise if the four million autosomal mark was passed well before June. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This can only be a positive thing for all of us looking for those new cousins. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">With three million tests for comparison Ancestry is a pool you should be fishing in to find your cousins. Have you tested yet? </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> Swinnertons were a company formed in 1906. They were based
in Hanley, one of the six towns that are now Stoke-On-Trent, Staffordshire.
They specialised in earthenware, rather than the much more expensive fine bone
china, aiming their product at middle class households. Earthenware has more
plasticity and is more easily able to be shaped but is more porous and needs to
be glazed for use. The earthenware formulation is 25% kaolin, 25% ball clay,
35% quartz and 15% feldspar and are fired to 1250<sup>0</sup>C.

story was that due to financial issues the traditional dinner service was not
able to be given by the parents at the time of marriage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Second World War meant full employment
and Lilian’s parents found the money and the dinner service was instead given
on the occasion of their son, David’s birth 16 February 1940. Lilian and Leslie
were living at 45 Burnham Crescent, Crayford at the time of the birth and Leslie
was working at the Vickers Armstrong factory as a carpenter and munition worker.

1944, becoming a quadriplegic and dying of his injuries at Edenhall Hospital,
Inveresk, Scotland, 14 December 1944.

as a single mother, then worked as a cook/housekeeper for a number of years and the

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In May 1949, the dinner service accompanied Lilian and
David aboard the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Asturias</i> as they
emigrated to Sydney Australia arriving first in Fremantle, before their final destination of Sydney. [x<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif";">i]</span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=388864214259507833#_edn11" name="_ednref11" style="mso-endnote-id: edn11;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"></span></span></span></span></a> At this
time in Australia there was an acute housing shortage and Lilian was unable to
establish a home on arrival, getting work at the Peoples’ Palace in Sydney while
David entered the Salvation Army Orphanage in Goulburn. Finally in 1952 Lilian
was able to rent a home in Goulburn and they were reunited and the dinner
service was unpacked with another cup as a casualty, broken sometime over those
years.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The service traveled with Lilian in a number of further moves
over the years, being used only for special occasions, until her death in 1976
when it joined David in his home. Then it went from Brisbane to Melbourne in
1978 and then back to Brisbane in 1983, quite well packed as there were no
further casualties. My parents and the dinner service moved in with me in 1986
and the service has followed us on some further moves until 2001. Since 2001, it
has had pride of place in the china cabinet in Pallara, as a well loved, and
well traveled family item.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">genealogist in their life (assuming said genealogist has not been leaving hints all over the place!)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here are some suggestions:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;">1.</span> A subscription to <a href="http://familytreewebinars.com/" target="_blank">Legacy Family Tree Webinars </a></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">US$49.95 annual subscription </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As of November 2016 over 443 webinars are available on demand 24/7 - over 616 hours of instruction with handouts (in fact more than 2000 pages of handouts!)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Classes for all skill levels as can be seen in the image showing the categories including the Board for Certification of Genealogists, skill building webinars now available.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Guaranteed to keep them out of mischief for quite a while especially as there are new webinars added at very regular intervals! </span></span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;">2.</span> Subscription to a pay data site such as Ancestry, Findmypast, The Genealogist, GenealogyBank, Fold3, MyHeritage etc. If you haven't already had a hint as to which one they would prefer (or already have), you may need to give a promissory note as depending on their area of research, they will likely have a preference.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;">3.</span> Subscription to a Family History Society: </span></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">their local one where they could attend meetings do research and generally these societies will also have subscription to the paysites, </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">a <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">n</span>ational <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">F</span>amily History Society </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">one in their ancestral area of interest.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;">4.</span> Agree to do a DNA test for them (would be even nicer if you also agreed to pay for it). </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are different types of tests (at different costs). For the autosomal test Ancestry in <a href="https://www.ancestry.com.au/" target="_blank">Australia</a> is A$149 plus postage (US $99 plus postage) <a href="https://www.familytreedna.com/" target="_blank">Family Tree DNA</a> is US$79 plus postage.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Both have sales at regular intervals. (check prices in your country). As of 28 November 2016, FTDNA has a sale at US$59 for the autosomal test. It is not known how long this sale will last. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Most important thing is that the test is done with a company that has a genealogical database. For the autosomal test Ancestry currently has a database with over 2.5 million tests and steadily increasing and Family Tree DNA also has a large database (they also do other types of tests: Y-DNA and mtDNA).</span></span><br />

This is an excellent book for anyone who is interested in DNA testing for genealogical purposes as Blaine writes in a clear and easy to understand way. Able to be ordered from all good book stores. it is also available as an ebook on Kindle.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He and Debbie Parker Wayne have also written <i>Genetic Genealogy in <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">P</span>ractice</i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">.

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This workbook <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">shows how DNA testing is used in real genealogical examples. It shows what can be done and what can't be done using the new tool for genealogists:DNA. </span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;">13.</span> Every genealogist needs to back up their research so an external drive is always an appreciated gift. External storage is now very cheap I recently bought a Seagate 4TB portable drive for A$268.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;">14.</span> Cloud back up services are also an appreciated gift as "many copies keep it safe" Sadly computer drive will fail. It is just a matter of when. Cloud back up services like <a href="https://www.backblaze.com/" target="_blank">BackBlaze</a> or <a href="https://www.carbonite.com/" target="_blank">Carbonite </a> automate the backup for you (there is a yearly subscription).</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">16. A family history program that stores your family information on your own computer. There are many programs around and this is where the person should probably choose the one they like.Programs like <a href="http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/" target="_blank">Legacy</a>, <a href="https://rootsmagic.com/rootsmagic/" target="_blank">Rootsmagic</a>, <a href="http://www.family-historian.co.uk/" target="_blank">Family Historian</a>, <a href="https://www.mackiev.com/store_intern.html?edition=us" target="_blank">FamilyTree Maker</a> are all family history programs.

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;">18.</span> Archival supplies. Genealogist have treasured family papers and these should be stored in archival protective materials. <a href="https://www.gould.com.au/stationery-scrapbooking/archival-storage/" target="_blank">Gould Genealogy</a> in Australia have a range of archival supplies or overseas do a search for archival suppliers.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;">19.</span> Scanner to scan all those photos and documents. Many people have the all in one printers now that can also scan photos and documents or you can get a stand alone scanner.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;">20.</span> Slide/negative scanner Most genealogists have a collection (horde) of 35mm slides and negatives that need to be scanned. This <a href="http://www.scanplify.com/best-35mm-film-and-slide-scanner-reviews/" target="_blank">site</a> has a review of a number of slide/negative scanners. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;">21.</span> It is not just photos, slides and negatives that genealogists have. They also have family heirlooms that they should be recording for the future. One way of doing this is using <a href="http://shotbox.me/" target="_blank">Shotbox</a> which has it own lighting system which makes for much better images and you can use a smartphone. Also useful for photographing craft items or items for sale on eBay. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;">22. </span>Not every gift for your genealogist needs to cost money. Perhaps you could write a blank cheque for a day a month where you will look after things at home and they can visit an archives or library. Or maybe a blank cheque for an evening at home where the genealogist has research time in their study.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;">23.</span> If the genealogist in your life does not have a dedicated "genealogy area" in the house are you able to create one for them?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;">24.</span> Are you a computer whiz who is good at using Photoshop or a graphics program that could digitally restore a photograph for them? Every genealogist has photos that need restoring.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;">25.</span> Maybe you could write that blank cheque for x hours talking about your childhood, school days, or the time before you were together. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Perhaps find some of the photos of your life or family and write the story of the photo. It is so much easier than it sounds.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You get the photo and then:</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When was it taken and who took it?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Where was it taken?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Why was it taken?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Who is in it?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What was your memory of the occasion?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This will be valued by the genealogist in your life.</span></span><br />

out of the blue a few years ago, my sister produced a New Testament
that had belonged to her mother. We had begged to see that book
ever since us younger ones learned of its existence, but she had
never been willing to get it out for us. Two years ago our family
reunion was held at her home. Not only did she produce her mom's
New Testament, but she came up with a couple of things that she
didn't even know she had - including a crocheted bookmark with our
grandfather's initials in the pattern. (I can guess that my mother
probably made it and Grandpa obviously never received it. Mom never
met him since he lived on the other side of the
country. </span><span style="color: #333333;">Did she make
it and learn of his death before she could mail it to
him?</span><span style="color: #333333;">). I suspect that
there was a story there, but we will never know. At that reunion, I
passed out a questionnaire about our family - just from Dad and
both wives (not polygamist!) and their descendants. That got
everyone's attention. Even those who refused to fill one out got
involved with helping their kids, nephews, nieces, grandkids or by
just listening. Everyone</span><span style="color: #333333;"> insisted that I provide the answers and
discussion and stories flowed!</span><span style="color: #333333;"> But the neatest things were that each
one, even the genealogists in the group, learned things about the
younger generations and there was a unanimous request for family
history to become a regular part of our reunions from now
on!!!!</span></span></span></span></div>

Most of whom have long since passed on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There is a special feeling hearing voices of your family from the past.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Zv3Vo7tDeBQ/WCec6c52mBI/AAAAAAAADMM/Kxbc-RF2Ox4lXRXR74m-ujV2l7ZB_sHUgCLcB/s1600/Reel%2Bto%2BReel%2BTapes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Zv3Vo7tDeBQ/WCec6c52mBI/AAAAAAAADMM/Kxbc-RF2Ox4lXRXR74m-ujV2l7ZB_sHUgCLcB/s320/Reel%2Bto%2BReel%2BTapes.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is why I have never heard them before. They were on these reel to reel tapes. I have been carrying them with me from move to move, too precious to discard but also too precious to waste. I had heard many horror stories of people over the years giving their precious tapes to someone to digitise and having oh so many problems.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I recently attended the Unlock the Past Adelaide Expo which was fantastic. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">One of the exhibitors I particularly wanted to speak with was <a href="http://bigeggmedia.com.au/" target="_blank">Big Egg Media</a> who do all sorts of tape/film conversions to digital and also photo scanning and restoration.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have been listening to the <a href="http://extremegenes.com/" target="_blank">Extreme Genes</a> radio show with Scott Fisher as a podcast for quite a while now and a regular presenter has been Tom Perry, a digital preservation expert from <a href="http://tmcplace.com/" target="_blank">TMCPlace </a>This meant I knew the types of questions I needed to ask to make sure my precious tapes would be in the right hands.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I spent around twenty minutes asking questions of Anthony and then handed the tapes over to be processed. He told me it would be a couple of weeks before they could start on them and I was happy with that, after all a few extra weeks wouldn't matter added to the time I had already waited.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My Grandmother was born in England and one of 13. She emigrated to
Australia in 1949 with my father who was aged nine. The tape in the
white box is "Christmas Greetings from the Family 1968" which is from the English family to my grandmother while the second
is from my Grandmother in 1970 when she was a housekeeper on a sheep
property. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My Grandmother used to write letters regularly to her
family in the UK and also record tapes for them. So you can see these
really were very precious irreplaceable in fact.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I picked them up from the Post Office as the parcel needed a signature and got home and listened. They had done a marvelous job. They had told me they needed to rectify the tape as it was flaking so they needed to bake it back on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I am very happy with the result and it was totally worth the money paid. This type of work needs to be done by the professionals and they do come at a cost but they have given me something precious.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Have you precious tapes, films deteriorating away that needs digitising? Don't leave them too long, there is a point of no return.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Photos that need restoration? Big Egg Media also do gift cards. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">While I am very fond of chocolate and as a child loved the little calendars that you opened each day and gained a piece of chocolate, for a number of years now I have done a different type of Advent calendar.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It is a "Paying Forward Genealogical Kindness" Calendar (and yes there might be some chocolate as a reward each day!). Below is my 2016 Advent Calendar. Some of these will take a few minutes, some a few hours but each of them shares just a little kindness and there can never be too much kindness in this world.</span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IbVuz3Pmz2s/WDfVYRG0BtI/AAAAAAAADOE/EraRZa7JGCMV-wr98pVcEvRYIdKezu_OwCLcB/s1600/Advent%2BCalendar.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="275" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IbVuz3Pmz2s/WDfVYRG0BtI/AAAAAAAADOE/EraRZa7JGCMV-wr98pVcEvRYIdKezu_OwCLcB/s640/Advent%2BCalendar.JPG" width="640" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So much of our research has been made easier because of the very many volunteers in the past who have indexed and transcribed records for us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Over the years I have tried to give back whenever I could but because of study and work, generally could not often do it in person onsite somewhere, so looked for ways I could do it at home (or anywhere I might be) using a computer.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Small micro-loans given to help people help themselves. A
fantastic initiative started by Judy Webster. Currently there are 324 genealogist members
from all over the world who since 2011 have made over 7792 loans totaling <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>$205, 000. Each loan by an individual is $25 (the
loan amount for a project varies) and then the person pays back the loan which
allows you to relend that money again and again. So over my time as a member I
have donated $1223 which because of the relending has meant that $3425 in 137 loans
have been made.</span></div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CA0ZnCe_RmE/V_3EqNJ3ahI/AAAAAAAADKg/_AiGmQw7q0MX4hNCYF27dlagMw5arxYLwCLcB/s1600/FTDNA%2BPedigree%2BView.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="448" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CA0ZnCe_RmE/V_3EqNJ3ahI/AAAAAAAADKg/_AiGmQw7q0MX4hNCYF27dlagMw5arxYLwCLcB/s640/FTDNA%2BPedigree%2BView.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I was the primary person on this one and so cut off my details.<br />
<br />
You can then click on a person such as Robert Henry Philpott and get the further details as shown below.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Now this lovely new Pedigree View is only of value if someone has uploaded their Gedcom.<br />
<br />
FTDNA has been encouraging people to upload their Gedcoms for quite a while but there has not been the take-up we would all like (although hopefully everyone who is bemoaning no Gedcoms have uploaded their own!). <br />
<br />
And of course it is really no different to Ancestry where there are very, very many DNA tests that have no tree attached. It would be nice to know if the people who have no tree attached have an Ancestry subscription.<br />
<br />
I am assured by Ancestry that you can add a tree if you are someone who only has a DNA test and was told they are encouraged to do so when activating the test.<br />
<br />
From what I have been able to determine from this <a href="https://support.ancestry.com.au/s/article/AncestryDNA-with-and-without-an-Ancestry-subscription-1460089698356" target="_blank">help page on Ancestry</a> the DNA test only member can contact matches and receive messages. They cannot view the trees of their matches.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vhLRKwQzsLI/V9SDUQY9c0I/AAAAAAAADJQ/eP0fdawYNIsgPfK6jKPEvniQfOjqeyQyQCLcB/s1600/72%2Bpresenters.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vhLRKwQzsLI/V9SDUQY9c0I/AAAAAAAADJQ/eP0fdawYNIsgPfK6jKPEvniQfOjqeyQyQCLcB/s400/72%2Bpresenters.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now for the Conference proper. There were 72 presenters for this conference and I was one of those 72 giving three presentations and a luncheon talk. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">DNA as you can imagine was an important stream of presentations with nine presentations. There was also a British Isles and Commonwealth stream with 22 presentations. Methodology, Records, Research Strategies, Ethnicity, Repositories, Technology, Writing were topics with multiple presentations.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After the Plenary session you went to one of the concurrent sessions. This entailed a fair bit of decision making as unfortunately I have never been able to clone myself which would have been of great use here!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Luckily many (but not all) of the presenters have agreed to their sessions being recorded and these are available for purchase from <a href="http://www.fleetwoodonsite.com/" target="_blank">Fleetwood onsite </a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">They record many different conferences, so click through to Federation of Genealogical Societies and you are able to buy recordings of the last five FGS conferences either as every talk that was recorded or as individual talks. Currently the 2016 (as of 11 Sep) is available at a reduced price of US$249 for all that were recorded (individual talks not listed as yet). This is a discount as previous years full recordings are at US$349.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So one of the ways of choosing was to determine which of my choices were not being recorded and going to that one. Some familiar names to Australian and New Zealand audiences were among the presenters: Judy G. Russell, Paul Milner, Thomas MacEntee, Carole Baxter, me to name but a few.Because of the concurrent sessions the program committee were able to have the larger more popular topics but were also able to have specialist topics where it was not expected to fill a room but made the twenty or more attendees very happy that their topic was available.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IHXc9jhkgYQ/V9SQnbIiHfI/AAAAAAAADJg/EGoVOyZlVxYkUi3iwpaJyPbDldFZCImkwCEw/s1600/Unlock%2Bthe%2Bpast%2Bbooks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IHXc9jhkgYQ/V9SQnbIiHfI/AAAAAAAADJg/EGoVOyZlVxYkUi3iwpaJyPbDldFZCImkwCEw/s320/Unlock%2Bthe%2Bpast%2Bbooks.jpg" width="240" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">All of the presentations are a major part of any conference but another very important part is the Exhibitor Hall with the very many exhibitors, societies, specialist repositories, Maia's Bookshop! (with the large Unlock the Past book display), and so many, many more!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The FGS gave time for the attendees to visit the exhibition hall and also instituted an Exhibitor Bingo Card where if an attendee got a stamp from each exhibitor on the card they could be in the prize draw for some pretty decent prizes. The other thing given to each attendee was a $10 exhibitor note. You could spend this at any of the exhibitors, they stamped the back and you could then go and hand in your note for a $10 refund. Both of these initiatives worked very well and I heard many positive responses from the exhibitors.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Springfield Illinois was the home of Abraham Lincoln prior to him becoming President and I never realised how tall he was until I stood next to his life size image.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Pw5DUBPtS5Q/V9SQp2czIhI/AAAAAAAADJk/amsf57r4UyYg2yQeGclIwx5i3VGY5zD0QCLcB/s1600/President%2BLincoln%2Band%2BI.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Pw5DUBPtS5Q/V9SQp2czIhI/AAAAAAAADJk/amsf57r4UyYg2yQeGclIwx5i3VGY5zD0QCLcB/s400/President%2BLincoln%2Band%2BI.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The FGS conference may not have had the number of attendees of some previous FGS conferences but all who attended had a wonderful learning experience, great networking, managed to spend a few dollars among the various exhibitors and best of all netwrked with other family historians whose eyes did not glaze over in boredom and who did not sneak slowly and silently away when you started talking about your family!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Congratulations to all who were involved in the organisation! </span>Helen V Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16418865928294578567noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388864214259507833.post-24748328434933202452016-09-11T07:55:00.002+10:002016-09-11T07:55:44.653+10:00FGS Librarians Day and Society DayI have just attended the Federation of Genealogical Societies (FGS) conference in Springfield, Illinois. This was my second FGS conference and there are two different things about a FGS conference.<br />
<br />
One is the Librarians Day where there is a special day supported by ProQuest for Genealogical Librarians who are a special breed that provide support for genealogists everywhere.<br />
<br />
The morning comprised a series of presentations and the afternoon visits to two libraries in the local area. <br />
<br />
This was the program:<br />
<i>8:30am – 9:30am | Family History Beyond the Family Tree | Mark DePue<br />The session discusses the value of oral history narratives in family history research. <br /><br />9:45am – 10:45am | FamilySearch Family History Resources for Librarians | Robert Raymond <br />There are many family history tools and resources available to librarians. This class introduces some provided by FamilySearch and provides example LibGuides adaptable for your library.<br /><br />11:00am – 12:00pm | A Capital Idea: A look at the Sangamon Valley Collection, the regional collection of genealogy and history for Lincoln Library | Curtis Mann<br />An overview of one of the premier Illinois local history collections covering History of Springfield, Illinois and the Surrounding Region<br /><br />12:15pm – 1:30pm – Lunch – ProQuest Presentation | William Forsyth, Director of Product Management, ProQuest<br /><br />Tour of Sangamon Collection with Curtis Mann<br />Lincoln Library | 326 S. Seventh St A first-hand look at this well respected local history collection<br /><br />Proper Environment, Proper Storage, Proper Handling with Bonnie Parr<br />Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum | 112 N. Sixth St<br />Basic preservation guidelines and tips for caring for collections of family history materials – documents, books, and photographs</i><br />It was a very well attended day (Thank you ProQuest for the sponsorship and lovely lunch) and there were librarians from a wide variety of library types: family history societies, museums, archives, Universities, specialist societies.<br />
<br />
The second day was a Society Day. This was a day devoted to presentations to help societies in ways of providing to their membership, to outreach programs, to running special projects, to ways of running seminar days, of helping volunteers, to using technology to reach remote members and so much more. There were thirty eight presentations solely designed to help societies in these difficult times. (see below for some of the presentations on offer)<br />
<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-joT5z31fTxo/V9R8U9w_KYI/AAAAAAAADJA/dQsGC4bM62cyJgZEdNvL2MdbmYTt2WA2ACLcB/s1600/Society%2BDay.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-joT5z31fTxo/V9R8U9w_KYI/AAAAAAAADJA/dQsGC4bM62cyJgZEdNvL2MdbmYTt2WA2ACLcB/s640/Society%2BDay.JPG" width="624" /></a>Many societies are seeing falling membership numbers and the increasing belief of some that "it is all online and you can just click on the leaf" which means they are less inclined to even think of joining a society. Many societies have remote members and are unsure of how to give them benefits that will help retain them as members.<br />
<br />
Volunteers join committees and can become burnt out with the various duties involved in running a society.<br />
<br />
Having very sadly been recently involved in the closing of a society that had been going for over thirty-five years I know it is a real problem. Seeing this level of support for the future of societies and the volunteers that run those societies was wonderful.<br />
<br />
Congratulations to the <a href="http://www.fgs.org/" target="_blank">Federation of Genealogical Societies</a> for this day and also the many other things they do to support societies who join them. They even have a section of downloadable resources which are freely available to all. These include around 50 Society Strategy papers on things that should be considered when running a society. Certainly some of these are US-centric but the majority should be essential reading for anyone involved in a society. They also have a free newsletter that talks of various societies activities. There is also the FGS Forum which is a subscription newsletter that is available for anyone to subscribe.<br />
<br />
A genealogical society, even one listed as a non-profit, has to run on business-like principles if it is to survive. <br />
<br />
I sincerely hope that other conference organisers (<b>AFFHO please think about this!</b>) consider doing something similar, maybe they can't run a whole day but run a number of presentations that focus on helping societies. <br />
<br />
All in all these were two very useful days and this is before the FGS conference actually starts!<br />

<br />
This is my second FGS conference and I am looking forward to meeting up again with many of my genealogical online friends and also learning from them. There are many names familiar to Australians among the presenters including Audrey Collins, Chris Paton, Paul Milner, Judy Russell, Thomas MacEntee and so many others among the 72 presenters who will be informing us during these few days.<br />
<br />
This is also the Federations 40th birthday year.<br />
<br />
I am giving three presentations:<br />
<br />
1 September 5pm: Lost in Australia<br />
2 September 11am: My Job is Killing me!<br />
3 September 8am: In The Workhouse<br />
<br />
And also on 3rd I am the luncheon speaker for the International Society for British Genealogy and Family History speaking on Lenses of Time: Battle of Bossenden Woods.<br />
<br />
Springfield is also where Abraham Lincoln lived before becoming President he is buried in Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield. <br />

Having a GPS is a necessity especially on your own to find some of the churches.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I came across this headstone in Hinxhill, Kent.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A lot of sadness for this family but a wonderful memorial stone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">George was one of 68 people killed in the terrible fires that hit Victoria in 1939 after two years of very dry conditions followed by the highest recorded temperature. A disaster waiting to happen and it did. </span><br />

Due to marvels of modern technology and the internet I have been interviewed twice and both these interviews have been released as podcasts this week.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The first was a live interview with Jane E. Wilcox from New York who hosts the Forget-Me-Not-Hour on <a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/janeewilcox" target="_blank">BlogTalk Radio</a> and is also available on iTunes (look for Jane E. Wilcox). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The interview related to my two books. Luckily I am a night owl as it was done live and we finished at 1.15am! It was a lot of fun. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Jane does two shows a month and is past her fifth year of doing the show. I have been a subscriber for a number of years so this was a real pleasure and exciting to do. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2ExX-thU7KY/V5Si2UWJL5I/AAAAAAAADGc/UgYRYZgcuPwixBacR690h_B0l4vlCCQxwCLcB/s1600/Helen%2BBook%2BCovers.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="456" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2ExX-thU7KY/V5Si2UWJL5I/AAAAAAAADGc/UgYRYZgcuPwixBacR690h_B0l4vlCCQxwCLcB/s640/Helen%2BBook%2BCovers.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The second interview was with Maria Northcote of <a href="http://geniesdownunder.com.au/podcasts.html" target="_blank">Genies Down Under podcast</a>, a great podcast for anyone with an interest in Australian research. Here is a link to the <a href="http://geniesdownunder.com.au/shownotes.html#ep_057" target="_blank">show notes </a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This interview comprised a standard`set of questions and also touched on the books. You can subscribe to the podcast via iTunes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This interview was done using Skype and was easy to do. Maria at the start of this podcast talks about the process of producing a podcast.</span><br />
<br />

It is more than just the wonderful digitised newspapers that we all know and love.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In fact as is shown in this image Trove contains more than 500, 005,853 Australian and online resources books, images, historic newspapers, maps, music, archives and more.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-V5JjJOAt8LA/V3tbroX5cAI/AAAAAAAADFA/dbihx10Kkl03mkQYoc7wkf6qDAWyWWjjwCLcB/s1600/Trove%2B500%2Bmillion%2Bplus.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-V5JjJOAt8LA/V3tbroX5cAI/AAAAAAAADFA/dbihx10Kkl03mkQYoc7wkf6qDAWyWWjjwCLcB/s640/Trove%2B500%2Bmillion%2Bplus.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Certainly we know that trove's funding has been cut so their ability to digitise special community collections has been greatly lessened which is a major shame as it will slow the rate of new additions and potentially may mean access to some collections may be lost to the national and international communities. We all hope that this funding decision will be reconsidered. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Australia is the envy of the world in having Trove and the free access it provides to so much at any time of the day or night to anyone, anywhere with an Internet connection. Scholars, students, historians, sports fans all have found items of interest to them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What is even more special are the volunteers from around the world who correct the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) which at times depending on typeface and age of the paper can give some very interesting results! Just today there were, at the time of writing this, 9706 newspaper lines corrected by the wonderful volunteers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-K4lzc9nWojI/V3tdOglWnBI/AAAAAAAADFM/vd9mk8LmiqAIybk30EGW0XioPUtgVIXSACLcB/s1600/Trove%2BHall%2Bof%2BFame%2B5%2BJuly%2B2016.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-K4lzc9nWojI/V3tdOglWnBI/AAAAAAAADFM/vd9mk8LmiqAIybk30EGW0XioPUtgVIXSACLcB/s400/Trove%2BHall%2Bof%2BFame%2B5%2BJuly%2B2016.JPG" width="248" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Hall of Fame shows the top correctors and I will never be in the top five (I don't think they do anything but correct!) but I am pretty happy at number 639 and 42, 246 lines of text corrected, which has been done intermittently over five years. It is one of the ways I choose to give back and "pay Forward" all the help I have received over the years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Those who read my blog regularly will know of my George Howard Busby.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On the <a href="http://discoveringanzacs.naa.gov.au/browse/person/107650" target="_blank">Discovering Anzacs</a> site, his entry shows the photos of him from the Queenslander, his Attestation papers and if you look down on the bottom right hand side you will see some links to articles in Trove from my tagged list for him. Other web links include a link to his Repatriation file and to the high resolution images from the Queenslander and also to his Embarkation file.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This integration of records together from across the digital sphere is what makes research today extremely exciting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I wonder how long it will be before Trove has one billion reources?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Trove we all love you! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Paul has provided a downloadable <a href="http://bit.ly/1RjfZEZ" target="_blank">5 generation chart</a> Thanks Paul!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sometimes looking at our data in different ways can show perhaps where we are missing data or just show things in a different way. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I took it up a bit to a seven generation chart showing the birthplaces of my ancestors. By just looking at the birthplace it is cleaner without all the other data showing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My father was born in Kent England and as can be seen by colouring the places of birth and seeing all that yellow, I have a lot of Kent ancestry!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ccb8dgY5nLU/Vv0OFD1buyI/AAAAAAAADAM/bMr5ORPzyUEhXk9-IZ8bBmsix24piWnZA/s1600/Helen%2B7%2Bgen.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="379" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ccb8dgY5nLU/Vv0OFD1buyI/AAAAAAAADAM/bMr5ORPzyUEhXk9-IZ8bBmsix24piWnZA/s640/Helen%2B7%2Bgen.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are a lot of things you can do. I have always been a strong advocate of researching your health history and so of course I had done a cause of death chart previously but have done it again. This shows the cause of death and the age.Cancer shown in red occurs more often than I would like. Tuberculosis also occurs as does heart disease although pretty good ages for most of my ancestors.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2PG5ean81LA/Vv0R4oFFWqI/AAAAAAAADAY/MgJwsJbRHeM9JNKo5xP5EdUX2VmpkfKzw/s1600/Health%2B5%2Bgen.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="330" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2PG5ean81LA/Vv0R4oFFWqI/AAAAAAAADAY/MgJwsJbRHeM9JNKo5xP5EdUX2VmpkfKzw/s640/Health%2B5%2Bgen.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Emily Schroeder of <a href="http://www.growinglittleleaves.com/blog/mycolorfulancestry-for-kids" target="_blank">GrowingLittleLeaves</a> blog showed how she used the chart to interest her daughter in her family history by using the colours on the chart and colouring a map to match those same colours. A fantastic idea to get children interested!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Others have shown the religious affiliations of their ancestors. Some have done occupation charts. I am not sure about that as so many people have varied occupations during their lifetimes. My great grandfather was a tailor most of his life but became ill and in the last period of time became an insurance salesman which is what was shown as the occupation on his death certificate. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And didn't that create an argument with my grandmother when I said he was an insurance salesman! Having said that I changed from using Personal Ancestral File to Family Tree Maker many, many years ago as my partner had five generations of blacksmiths on his line and I really wanted to be able to show it on a chart!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are many things you can do in Excel (or any spreadsheet) to help in your family history. Facebook has a group Excel-ling Genealogists which has over 1000 members.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">YouTube is another great resource and if you do a search for Excel and Genealogy you will find over 1400 videos. A YouTube channel I would recommend is Tessa Keough who has done a whole series of videos on Excel and also on Legacy. Tessa, like me, is also a One Name study researcher and uses Excel extensively for her study. Tessa's YouTube channel can be found <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC45rdhoOHoQ9t9r-AWyPWig" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So why not give it a go and visualise your data in a different way? </span>Helen V Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16418865928294578567noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388864214259507833.post-66608516389602787832016-03-04T15:30:00.000+10:002016-03-04T22:51:49.420+10:00Like Topsy It Grew!So many things can hinge on a simple decision. For all of us in the genealogy world it was a decision that changed things for the better for all of us.<br />
<br />
The decision to collect the known at that time online links to sites useful to genealogists and then putting the whole 1125 of them on a website because "somebody <i>might</i> find that list of links useful"<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

That decision was made 20 years ago today! So it is Happy Birthday to Cyndi's List!!!!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
That 20 years has seen the list of useful sites to the genealogist grow from 1025 to over 330 788+ links!<br />
<br />
If you went to each and every link and spent just one hour at that link you wou need to spend 24 hours a day for the next 37.76 years!<br />
<br />
That is 330 788 links that have been checked and categorised for us to use. This is not a one time job. Links constantly change and need to be repaired. Categories need to be expanded and new categories developed, indeed a never ending job.<br />
<br />
A never ending job for a site that is totally free, yes that is correct, free for all to use.<br />
<br />
What is even more amazing is that this is not being done by the very large team of people you would expect. Instead, apart from some limited help from a family member a number of years ago, all this work was done and is being done by one very amazing lady!<br />
<br />
The amazing Cyndi Ingle, the lady who never sleeps!<br />
<br />
I was privileged enough to meet Cyndi in person in person at RootsTech in 2013 and she is truly an amazing person who I am honoured to now call my friend.<br />

<br />
Thank you Cyndi for all you do!<br />
<br />
We can all help Cyndi by reporting broken links (and I don't mean just filling in the webform Cyndi provides by saying the link is broken!) It is a broken link form after all!<br />
<br />
However we can provide the new URL. If we are a society webmaster and we change links we can let Cyndi know, we can submit new links ideally with some information about the link The submit a new link, report a broken link, update a link buttons are visible on every page. <br />

<br />
<br />
We can all help Cyndi by saving her time so she can continue to make her creation even better!<br />
<br />
We can also click on the <a href="http://www.cyndislist.com/donate/" target="_blank">Donate to CyndisList</a> to help Cyndi keep the site running and help pay the outstanding costs of the major upgrade of the site. The major upgrade and face-lift of the site was many thousands of dollars. <br />
<br />
So to celebrate the 20 years of fantastic many hours effort every day by a fantastic lady why not consider <a href="http://www.cyndislist.com/donate/" target="_blank">donating an amount</a> for all the help you have received by using the links Cyndi has put together for you.<br />
<br />
Thank you Cyndi and Happy 20th Birthday to Cyndi's List!<br />

<br />
We all know and love Trove which is full of treasures. The site is more than just newspapers with photos, theses and much much more.<br />
<br />
My treasure yesterday was from a paper. New papers are being added and kind volunteers are correcting the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) which can be a bit variable depending on font and age of paper.<br />
<br />
My George Howard Busby was in the 15th Battalion that landed on Gallipoli on the 25th April.<br />
<br />
I found this letter snippet (wish it had all been printed!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qypKDzoUVCY/VrEzC-bvn0I/AAAAAAAAC-c/7Calt8Ve7ug/s1600/Busby%2Bletter.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qypKDzoUVCY/VrEzC-bvn0I/AAAAAAAAC-c/7Calt8Ve7ug/s400/Busby%2Bletter.JPG" width="257" /></a></div>
<br />
Like a Hailstorm<br />
The following is an extract from a letter received by Mrs G.H. Busby, James Street Kingsholme from her husband (Mr George Busby) who at the time of writing was laid up at Courtaulds Hospital, Coventry: -<br />
"You will know by now that the Australians got a terrible cutting up. Bullets were flying around like a hailstorm. While we were landing the water was white with shrapnel shell. Whole boatloads of men were blown up and sometimes a boat would come ashore without a man alive in it. There were six killed in the boat I was in - one was sitting next to me. I got three bullets through the pocket of my coat, but they did not touch me. We had to jump out of the boats up to our necks in water and make a bayonet charge. The Turks do not like cold steel. I was in for nine days before I got hit so I had a good run for my money. If it had not been for the battleships we would never have been able to hold the position. It was a great sight to see their shells bursting among the Turks. They would be coming up in close formation , a couple of shots would come over from the ships and what was left of the Turks would be running for their lives."<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> These join the more than four million pages of digitised New Zealand newspapers and
periodicals. The collection covers the years 1839 to 1948 and includes
130 publications from all regions of New Zealand.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Remember that until the 1970s there was non-restricted travel between Australia and New Zealand so always worth doing a search in the New Zealand papers for your family. New Zealand also had gold rushes so many people went for the gold.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Quite a number of families emigrated to New Zealand first and then some or all later traveled on to Australia. Apart from anything else editors were always looking for news to fill their papers so it is surprising what 'other place" news can be found in any newspaper. In fact Dave Obee the eminent Canadian researcher, author and newspaper editor always tells his Canadian classes to check out our wonderful Trove first to get the date range before looking at the Canadian papers (many of which are pay sites).</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Talking about our wonderful, FREE, Trove they have just released the titles of the 100 plus forthcoming papers which should be available by June 2016 so not available yet but remember they have also released quite a number of papers over the last six months. So while you are waiting to these to arrive have you gone back and rerun all your searches in the new papers and the corrected text of previous papers. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The National Library of Australia staff are going to be very busy!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The funding for digitising these papers came froma variety of sources including a family History society </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Benalla & District Historical Society and the Sydney Myer Fund. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am very pleased to see as many Queensland papers coming especially the Toowoomba Chronicle..</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I hope the next announcement will be for the later Bundaberg papers as my George Howard Busby moved to Bundaberg in the 1940s and remained there until 1955.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Some of these are quite specialist papers such as the Seaman's Strike, some Temperance papers and the Dutch Australian Weekly and Dutch Weekly so great to see them being digitised.</span>

<br />Helen V Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16418865928294578567noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388864214259507833.post-26830572932649975632016-01-03T11:22:00.001+10:002016-01-03T11:23:08.089+10:00Related photos?<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It can be a murky game comparing photos visually to see if there are resemblances. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The results are open to individual interpretation and this can be coloured by the wishes and hopes of the person doing the reviewing. Add in to the mix images taken over different time frames such as fifty years apart for an individual (where the bone structure should be the the same) and comparing photos of people from different generations in the hope of seeing a resemblance.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In some families there can be a lot of resemblance but there are also many families where if you were not aware of the family structure and just looked for resemblances you would swear they could not be siblings at all. Also be careful of the "Humphrey nose' "Smith ears" as they could also be seen in other people.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To do a facial comparison you need to look at a minimum of the:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Shape of the face: round, square, oval etc </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Eyes: their shape, colour (often we don't have that information) size, distance between them, position</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Nose: shape , size position</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Nostrils: shape, size position </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Moles: placement (in modern times often removed)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Teeth: only seen if smiling. In times of bad dental care teeth may also be false or decayed</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Remember you also need to being aware of changes due to weight gain/loss and age complications such as losing teeth.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you can get the images the same size and orientation (and
unfortunately we can't go back in history and ask the person to stand
facing the camera please!) using Photoshop or other imaging software you
can make one image transparent then overlay it on the other which can
be useful for an individual at different ages.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Other software such as <a href="https://picasa.google.com/" target="_blank">Picasa</a>
claim to do photo recognition and yes with modern photos I have seen a
number of photos identified correctly BUT I have also seen many
mis-identifications including a man identified as a woman (an unrelated
one at that), different individuals being called the same person etc. The more known photos of that person at different ages helps increase the success rate of identifying other photos but it is not 100% or even 80%.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Even the software used by governments using complex mathematical algorithms on a minimum of eighty points is not 100% perfect. There is an interesting document on the <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/fingerprints_biometrics/biometric-center-of-excellence/files/face-recognition.pdf" target="_blank">US Federal Bureau of Investigation site</a> which goes into the history of facial recognition and the development of standards and ongoing work to improve facial recognition.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There is more photo matching software becoming available. Lisa Louise-Cooke recently mentioned this one which a Microsoft one listed as more of a game: <a href="https://www.twinsornot.net/" target="_blank">Twins or Not</a> so I thought I'd give it a try. You upload two photos to compare.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So I picked one of my mother and myself at around a similar age.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3olPnlFkzag/VohsxWgmpVI/AAAAAAAAC7A/D9Om6xUtxe8/s1600/Twins%2Bor%2Bnot%2Bviolet%2BKoala%2BHelenRS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="268" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3olPnlFkzag/VohsxWgmpVI/AAAAAAAAC7A/D9Om6xUtxe8/s320/Twins%2Bor%2Bnot%2Bviolet%2BKoala%2BHelenRS.jpg" width="320" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Then I found another of Mum where she was smiling and made her head a similar size to mine to see if it would be called differently.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now I admit Mum and I have many similarities but 100%?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So what about me aged differently?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2eCoFCo7Mc0/Vohz-VMjcEI/AAAAAAAAC7Y/PbUhu6VldQg/s1600/Helen%2BVs%2BHelenRS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="330" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2eCoFCo7Mc0/Vohz-VMjcEI/AAAAAAAAC7Y/PbUhu6VldQg/s400/Helen%2BVs%2BHelenRS.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Apparently I didn't age that well. I suspect the glasses have influenced the results. (Changing the order of the upload didn't change the result)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Then how about Mum and older me?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OaqReVOMKX4/Voh2sU_lZNI/AAAAAAAAC7k/M7xD3PNe-Ys/s1600/YM%2Bvs%2BOHRS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="350" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OaqReVOMKX4/Voh2sU_lZNI/AAAAAAAAC7k/M7xD3PNe-Ys/s400/YM%2Bvs%2BOHRS.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Interesting result.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I am not saying
you shouldn't look at photographs but I am suggesting strongly that you
should interpret with caution especially solely on visual comparisons or even computer comparisons (unless you have access to the FBI, Interpol or other law enforcement software) and even then there are caveats on the results. </span>Helen V Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16418865928294578567noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388864214259507833.post-42000585405387341012016-01-02T12:42:00.000+10:002016-01-02T12:42:09.581+10:002016 Here We`Are!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2016 came in with a bang (neighbours had fireworks).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I spent New Year's Eve day working and then came home to dinner. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Then a night at the computer working on my presentations for the Unlock the Past cruise which less than six weeks away and also naming some digital files I had scanned.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There is an old saying that what you do on the first day of the year will reflect the year so I am set for 2016.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have mixed feelings when I see posts from people saying "I didn't achieve everything I had planned for x year" and they list what they said they wanted to achieve and whether they did so or not as I feel this is only part of the story. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">They often beat themselves up for not getting it all done as if their life was only a planned To-Do List but what I don't see them doing is listing everything they had achieved for the year whether planned or not.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I think we all spend too much time regretting what we have not as yet completed (those to do lists can be negative things at times) without taking some time at regular intervals to see and reflect on what we have done. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NZSKwgOtlLw/Voc4Vg_k3LI/AAAAAAAAC6U/gTzHmljejww/s1600/Road%2Bdetour.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NZSKwgOtlLw/Voc4Vg_k3LI/AAAAAAAAC6U/gTzHmljejww/s320/Road%2Bdetour.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Life is not a always a straight road, there are lots of turns, detours and even U turns. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Sometimes opportunities
arise that were not expected or part of a plan. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Those opportunities are still achievements
and should be counted and celebrated.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> So along with working full time, I am happy with the 58 presentations I gave last year ranging from RootsTech, three Unlock the Past cruises, Australasian Congress, New Zealand Family History Fair, Western Australian Guild of One Name Studies seminar and to a variety of family history societies in Australia.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My continued education is well on track. While I didn't quite complete the National Institute's English certificate (have two subjects to go) I did complete the Basic level and a number of subjects in the Intermediate and Advanced parts of the Professional Development Certificate, the Basic and Intermediate levels of the Librarian certificate, the Basic and a few subjects in the Intermediate levels of the Australian certificate. I completed the Introduction to Family History at the University of Tasmania and am halfway through the Introduction to Writing Your Family History at the same institution. And I attended a number of conferences and learnt lots from the excellent presenters.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have watched a number of the webinars in the<a href="http://familytreewebinars.com/" target="_blank"> Legacy Family Tree Webinar</a>. My subscription to this is a must have as it means I can watch and re-watch seminars of interest (and have the handouts) and there are many of interest by the headline presenters of our genealogy world. Legacy also has seminars available for free for seven days from publication for non-subscribers, subscribers also have access to some extra seminars. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Then there are all the journals, the Facebook groups, the blogs, and mail-lists so many opportunities to further my knowledge. The joy of the Internet is that even if you are unable to go to a conference due to family commitments, finances or other reasons there is no reason why you can't continue your education.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Then there are all the wonderful people I have met in person and online, some relatives by blood, some genealogical family due to shared interests. We live in a world which can be scary at times but I firmly believe that while people are talking to each other and helping each other around the world it will be a better place. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I am a member of the Kiva group <a href="http://www.kiva.org/team/genealogists/loans" target="_blank">Genealogists for Families</a> where we make microloans of $25 to help other achieve their dreams. 311 genealogists have made over 6000 loans (when the $25 is repaid it can either be taken out or re-loaned to someone else).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I, ably assisted by Geoff Doherty, started a DNA Special interest group at the Genealogical Society of Queensland. I also had success in getting some people to DNA test and have found some linkages to other people who had tested via Ancestry and FTDNA. Still working on some matches in Gedmatch.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I finally was able to finish and publish the second edition of my "Death Certificates and Archaic Medical Terms" book and was asked to write a chapter on the 1919 Influenza Pandemic in Brisbane </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">for a book </span>being published in 2016 (this was one of those turns in the road not expected but welcome).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I even managed to add some names to my tree and add more life and colour to people already on my tree. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So looking back although those To-Do Lists are still present and have many entries I did achieve a lot and did have a great 2015.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I don't do resolutions but I do make goals and my goals are to continue in 2016 as I have is 2015, to be a good, helpful member of online forums, to continue my genealogy education (just because I have been doing it for thirty years does not mean there are still not things to learn and skills to perfect) to continue to share via presentations, articles, blog posts and hopefully some new books.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'll be speaking on two Unlock the Past cruises this year, the Auckland to Fremantle one and then the Barrier Reef, a number of family history societies and I will also see a number of you at the Federation for Genealogical Societies conference in September.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So I am ready with my goals, prepared to travel whatever road the year may bring and I want to have another wonderful year with all of you in 2016! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Today marks thirty years of employment with the Department of Health as a public health microbiologist.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hard to believe I started on a two week Christmas vacation fill-in. Only two of us wanted to do the two week placement when offered it during our exams. The others all wanted a break. Finished the exams on the Friday and went into the job on the Monday. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Had a good time and they apparently liked me as at the end of the two weeks they said to come back the next Monday!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I went for an actual interview in April the following year and got a permanent position. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Suddenly in the July they realised that I had not had my medical so I rock off to that and now I have to confess a guilty secret.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have lied on a government form.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">They measured me and told me I was five foot tall. Being an honest person I said "No I am 4 foot 10 and a quarter inches (hey that quarter is important!)"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"No you are five foot"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"No I'm not"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Look do you want the job or not?"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Yes I do"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Then you are five foot tall now sign this form"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And I did. In the 1980s the Queensland Health Department still had a height restriction. Females had to be five foot plus to be employed. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So my thirty years might not have happened for the sake of an inch and three quarters.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">How many of your ancestors worked thirty years for the same employer? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have a few who have worked for the railway and some government departments. Many others have worked in the same occupation such as being agricultural labourers, granite quarrymen, shoemakers etc. </span><br />
