Hi, Early on seemed to be Furrucabad, now Furracabad - My g3-grandfather William LONG (ex-convict from Gloucestershire) was a farmer there. I understand it's somewhere between Glen Innes & Wellingrove? Would be pleased for any further information on this place; I plan a visit to Glen Innes area for some research when I next get the chance to take some time off. Cheers, Steve in Brisbane

Their turn of phrase is quite > quaint :-) I get around 50 spams per day on my 5 BigPond email accounts (mostly porn, drugs, "jobs", "investments"). I recently changed to ThunderBird mailer (free, and sibling of FireFox browser) and its adaptive spam filter is impressive even to an old computer hack like myself, but still only about 95% (but never yet to trash a real email, which is important to me). Choosing the right software makes a big difference. You don't *have* to use MS s/w for everything... BTW I have queried rootsweb and they insist their servers & archives are encrypted and secure - if you get spam on a list email, it did NOT come from the list, must have come from a lister's computer being infected and plundered - just something else to cope with ... Steve Sims PS The "Nigerian" spams (most seem to really come from ru) are indeed cute but easy to spot - as are the various "bank" spoofs - there is almost always a grammatical error somewhere - but watch out for the eBay spoofs, some of them are pretty well done and a single click in the email can install a keyboard virus or worse... in short, DO NOT CLICK ON AN EMAIL LINK unless you're certain where it comes from - don't believe what the text says it is, let your browser display the real URL in the bottom line (if it can't do this, change to FireFox). Even then it is possible in HTML to hide the true link, but this should start the bells ringing and lights flashing in your mind anyway. PPS Marg, does NBG stand for No Bloody Good? I like it but don't think it will translate OS :o) PPPS Anyone interested in William LONG, ex-Gloucestershire mariner, ticket-of-leave man, and farmer at Furrucabad?

Hi All, I have a marriage cert. for my grandparents, Joseph Edward AUSTIN and Gladys Isabel MOLLOY, who were married in 1920 at the Holy Trinity Church, Manilla by Alfred Valentine Smith, a minister of the Church of England. I am presuming (rather cautiously) that the church is the Anglican Church in Hill Street, Manilla, but would appreciate if SKS could either verify or discount this. I will be travelling up to Tamworth and Manilla from Sydney this coming weekend and was hoping to get a photo of the correct church. Look forward to hearing from anyone who can help, regards, Liz

Archive CD books have been scanning some NSW Police Gazettes and re publishing on CD They have put the 1890 - 1910 indexes to these on their web site as PDF files you can download and check out for any 'skeletons' .

A big thankyou to everyone who supplied me with information on the BURTENSHAW family. Much appreciated Regards, Dianne
Hi Would someone who has access to the Inverell Cemetery records be so kind as to look up Ann Burtenshaw who died in 1883 in Inverell. She was married to William Perks BURTENSHAW in Sydney in 1849 and her maiden name was BEST. Would love to hear from anyone else who may be researching the BURTENSHAW family as well. Thankyou , Dianne
Hello all, I was wondering if somebody may have a copy of the layout of the Inverell Cemetery that they could send to me. I am hopefully going through Inverell on my way to Bathurst in June and may get time to find some graves in the Cemetery. I have the details of where they are, I would just like to be able to make a plan to save time. Thanks Lynne
Thank you, Kerry, Allan and Glynis, for your advice. Obviously, its Dinton Vale I am looking for but its nice to know theres a kernel of fact in those old family stories! Rgs Lisa Gladstone, Q

I am hoping someone will be able to tell me a little about a property of this name which was/is located near Ashford, NSW. My great-grandfather, who worked as a carrier in the 1920s, regularly made the trip from Texas to Inverell, via Frazer's (?) Creek, and used to purchase wine from this property. Related to this, is Frazer's Creek (am unsure of the spelling) a property, a locality ... ? Was it a popular 'stopping point' for travellers in those days? Thanks, in anticipation. Lisa Gladstone, Q
Hi Pam, I have a similar 'no birth record' problem for an ancestor born in Orange. I would say his parents just never got around to registering him. The nearest thing to a birth record I've found for him was his younger brother's birth certificate. He is listed on that by name aged 1, as 'previous issue'. Gives you a year and parents, if not an exact date. Sometimes you can be lucky and find they stated their date of birth on another document like war service enlistment papers. I've also found a complete list of children and birth dates within a probate packet for someone who died without a will. Useful as all those children were registered as just 'male' or 'female' on their birth certificates. You'll need to think laterally and have a bit of luck!

Hello. I hope you can help me! Along with many others, my great great grandparents were Thomas and Emma Bourne who arrived in Sydney from London on the Palmyra on Sept 26 1838 with their eldest daughter, Myra. Initially Thomas was 'engaged' to a Mr Edward Sparkes in Maitland. I know that 5 or 6 more children were born : Matilda 1849, George 1843, James 1845, William 1846, Emma 1849 and possibly Henry who died in 1933, giving his parents as Thomas and Emma - and that the family gradually moved northwards - Scone, Patrick Plains, Murrurundi, Quirindi and Tamworth. Using the NSW BDM records I have been able to trace most of Thomas and Emma's children and grandchildren but if you have information about them I would be very glad to receive it. In the process of discovering their family, I can see that other Bourne families also lived in NSW. What I would particularly like to know is : were there other Bourne families living in the Quirindi/Tamworth area and if so, were they connected to Thomas and Emma? ie his brother perhaps. Emma, the youngest child, is my great grandmother. She married a Henry Bourne (parents given as Stephen and Mary Reece) in Sydney in 1870 and they soon moved to Melbourne where their family was born. I would love to know where Henry was born and as yet, can find no trace of his parents, nor of Emma's death in Victoria. This work is really fascinating and I look forward to any help you can give My thanks Beth Flenley ( maiden name - Bourne)
Hello fellow family historians, Has anyone had experience in putting on a family reunion? If so, would you be so kind as to advise me of what you found to work regarding displaying the family tree in all its branches and descendants? I will have a computer there, and photos etc, but want to display the tree on the wall for people to look at. If it helps, the main couple had 5 surviving children. One had 1 child, another 2 children, another 3, but the other two had 6 and 7 children. There are 1533 people recorded in this family to date including spouses and up to 8 generations. Is it better to have the earliest generations say up to grandchildren, or even great grandchildren in one section with a reference then to a separate section for the next generation and their descendants elsewhere in the building? Do photos fit well in a display like this? I would love to know if a particular program helps with displays other than what the family tree program produces. Has anyone done this before and knows what works or what doesn't work please? Any other good suggestions as to what to display or have available would be good as well. I've got several things planned but would appreciate suggestions in case I've missed something really important! Many thanks in advance. Lynette Lynette Begg P.O.
