An update is available from http://www.mudcreek.ca/ John McKinney has provided some instructions about using the programme. Well here is a short lesson Upon downloading you will have a file called mudgv004.exe. If you do not know where it is do a "FIND" from the start button. Just type in mudgv004.exe at the search prompt and your computer will find it for you. This is a self extracting executable, you can run it by double clicking on it's icon or navigate to it through "RUN" at the start button. You will be taken through the install process. If you are not familiar with the install process, just accept the default settings by just clicking the next and finish buttons. Now you will have the program installed on our machine and there will be a menu item at the start button in programs under MudCreek, just click on the GenViewer and you are in. Once you are in you will see to the left, under Directory, the presidents.ged, just click on it once and information will show up to the right. Click on the individual tab and you will see President Clinton's individual information, under the family tab you will see his marriage to Hil. with their parents and child, on to pedigree and so on. To open your own gedcom file just navigate to it with the explorer above the presidents.ged to the left, just find your file, highlight it and click the open button. You are now looking at your own gedcom. Hopefully it is more interesting than Slick Willey's. And from the Moderator, Luc Comeau GENViewer is in a BETA stage in order to find problems with features as well as problems with documentation. I will be adding downloading/installing directions on the web site very soon. There is a user manual with the program after you have installed GENViewer. I know that documentation is lacking at this point - I've been focused on finishing features in the program instead of writing instructions. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have. You can send them directly to me at [email protected] I know that we can work out any problems you are having. Also, I ask for your patience at this stage of development of GENViewer. I still have lots to do to get to version 1.0 (ie., features and documentation). MudCreek Software only has one employee - me. Bryan A Curran Hamilton, NZ

BOX 588. MOOLOOLABA QLD,.4557. IF ANY OF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN LEARNING ABOUT YOUR EARLY ANCESTRY THERE IS MUCH I CAN TELL YOU. There are many CALDWELL connections in NSW and other states. In 1990 we held a Reunion at ARMIDALE NSW. Although extensivly advertised the two brothers George Andrew CALDWELL and William Jervas Henry CALDWELL who both went to live in QLD. were the only two whose descendants were not represented. Search as we have so far we have had no luck in finding any of you. Hopefully this e-mail will have some results. The ancestors of us all were Samuel CALDWELL and his wife Isabella nee SPENCE who were 1st Governor and Matron of The ARMIDALE NSW Gaol from 1863 for 25 years.Before this Sam came to Australia as a soldier with his brother George in charge of convicts on the Ship LORD MELVILLE arriving Sydney October 1830. On the 21-10-1830 they both volunteered and joined the Mounted Police Waiting in anticipation Peg Whiteman of Mooloolaba QLD.

John I am sure the place Malcolm is trying to find is the Cootharinga Home for Crippled Children (or something like this, before the days of discriminatory language.) It catered for people with all sorts of disabilities, and they lived there, so probably your couple lived on the premises if he was a caretaker. I think it would have been closed down, at least 10 years ago. There was a court case about the treatment of inmates in the last 10 years I think. There is now a similar sort of place called the Cootharinga Society of North Queensland, Warburton Street, North Ward, 4810. PH. 07 47 71 5840. I suppose there would be some sort of connection. I think your best bet would be to write a letter to the editor, Townsville Bulletin - email address - [email protected] There would still be a lot of people around Townsville who worked there, or who were inmates. Hope this helps Anne Alloway, Townsville ----------

Hi NQ Listers Is anyone else out there researching these families in the Townsville, Ayr, Charters Towers and Ravenswood areas? If so, I would love to know how to find out when and on what ship William Tomlinson arrived in Queensland. It could have been c1857. He was born in Sheffield, YKS, in 1838 and died in Townsville 1902, at which time he was a butcher. His daughter Jane married George EBBAGE and I have much info. on that family for anyone interested in receiving it. Any helpful suggestions gratefully received. Regards, Yvonne in Canberra, ACT
