I have reference numbers relating to the divorce of these two people, which would have occurred prior to September 1952. The marriage would have occurred sometime after October 1937. Could someone inform me how I determine what state the divorce occurred from these details and would the divorce papers have the date and place of the marriage. Many Thanks, Beverley

Hi Karen How you put your family history together is very much determined by the story itself. It can be a straight lineal story - parents, then the children, then the descendants. Or it can be a merging of a number of different families which intermarried, and you want to present the stories and family tree information about each family. There are a few websites which are a great help in how to write it – such as http://www.writerswrite.com/journal/jul02/edwards5.htm http://www.genwriters.com/write.html I have now published 3 family histories and each was different. One was lineal; one was the merging of 4 families presented as 4 parts; and one was a convict story so the convict system (Certificates, assignments) played a big part. Experience now tells me that you really need to start with a general background chapter (it can be only 6 pages) explaining where your family came from and why they came to Australia, including general information on the convict or colonial or immigration systems which would have influenced their lives. Lots of family photos will make the book come alive, and the Title of the book (make it relevant, not too general) and the cover imagery are also important. My general pattern for my books was 1. Title pages with Contents, contact details for future orders, ISBN, CIP. 2. Background chapter 3. First generation 4. Second generation and their descendants 5. Family trees 6. Appendices – general stuff that relates to the lives of one or more of the descendants – things such as war records, history of the Irish famine, the assignment system, Parramatta female factory … whatever is relevant. 7. Index – detailed is best 8. About the author – with photo If you are telling the stories of more than one family, then items 2 – 6 are repeated in the separate sections for each family. This is explained in the Introduction to the book in the Title pages (different to the Background chapter) and Contents pages When you are ready to publish it, talk to me again. I now use my contacts in the industry – here and overseas – to help other people publish their family and local histories at the best quality and price. Happy to talk about it when you are ready. Have a look at my website and click on each of my books – it may give you some ideas. Good luck with it.

I'm trying to contact any BERRY descendants who are also TICKLE descendants. The TICKLE family were living in Quirindi when Grace Ann TICKLE married John Henry BERRY in 1904. They moved to Dungog in the Hunter Valley where their children were born in the early 1900s. Hazel M BERRY married Henry COCKRANE Thelma J BERRY married Henry BATEY Russell John Henry BERRY Wallace Robert John BERRY married Helena GIDDEY I believe some of the descendants may have moved away from Dungog but would love to find any relative at all.

My G.Grandmother was their 9th child, Annie Agnes TAPER. She married Henry Ettingshausen.

Thelma, We have MONTGOMERY and PEPPER is our ancestors however our MONTGOMERY was born in Durham in about the same year (damn!). We are interested in your Emily PEPPER who married William at Hunter River. We have a Mary Jane PEPPER who married Jonathan MANSFIELD in 1865 at Patricks Plains (near Singleton). We are having difficulty in tracking down further information and were wondering if there could be a link between the two PEPPER girls. We have Mary Jane's father as Edward PEPPER - convict off the Barossa arriving in 1839. We know nothing of Mary Jane's mother. Edward was also known as Shadrack PEPPER, Shadrack TURRILL and Shadrack TWERT - most records show him as Shadrack PEPPER. Edward was sentenced for 10 years for sheep stealing in Kent in 1839. He played up a bit as he is mentioned in the newspaper of the day (don't the reference in front of me). Mary Jane was born circa 1847 at Patricks Plains although we also have a reference that states she was born at West Maitland circa 1845. Do you think there is a connection. Regards, Lyn and John Read Kurwongbah Queensland.

Dear Stephenastill Thank you very much - I will try that. Anne

the new list address will be AUS-NSW-SURNAMES-rootsweb.com or even AUS-NSW-SURNAMES-@rootsweb.com !! apologies I hae a funky keyboard that "follows" me rather than types with me, it has a habit of losing letters and digits! Mellie Why Does My Coat Of Arms Have Buckles At The Back?

Please all take note of the following email, changes like this, can sometimes mean the loss of some mail,once this change has taken place the new list address will be AUS-NSW-SURNAMES-rootsweb.com and this is what you may have to change in your accept lists etc. these changes are to try to improve security and reduce junk mail(spam) As I have further information I will advise the list accordingly Mellie Why Does My Coat Of Arms Have Buckles At The Back? ----- Original Message ----- From: announce@mail.rootsweb.com To: LIST-ANNOUNCE-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, August 12, 2006 12:44 AM Subject: RootsWeb Mailing Lists are being Updated Dear RootsWeb mailing list subscriber, We are excited to announce that in the coming weeks, the RootsWeb.com mailing lists will be moving to a new list management system. Why? The new list management system offers updated technology, better spam control, and more efficient hosting of the lists. When? All the lists won't be updated all at once. In fact, once we start it will take us about two weeks to complete the process. We've posted the additional details about the update and a current update schedule at the link below. http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/migrate_sched.html This page can also be found by following the link found on http://lists.rootsweb.com. If there are any changes to the schedule, we'll update this page to let you know. How will it Affect You? Your current subscription(s) will automatically transfer to the new system so there will be no need to re-subscribe to your list(s), however, because the sending and receiving of list email will be handled by a new system, you may notice a few changes to your list(s). Digest subscribers will notice a small difference in the layout, volume and issue numbers of the list digests. The "-L" is being dropped from the "official" list name. This means the "from" address your mailing list emails come from will be slightly different- ListName@rootsweb.com vs. the current ListName-L@rootsweb.com. You may have to adjust your spam filters or put the new address on your "accept" list to prevent it from being caught in your "junk" folder. This sounds like a big change, but it doesn't have to change the way you use the list. Here's why: - You will still be able to send messages to the list using the "ListName-L@rootsweb.com" email address you use today. Additionally, you can choose to drop the "-L" and send your messages to ListName@rootsweb.com. Both addresses will work after the list has been migrated. - You will still be able to subscribe and unsubscribe to the mail or digest mode by sending your request to ListName-L-request@rootsweb.com or ListName-D-request@rootsweb.com as you do today. You will also be able to unsubscribe from the mail or digest mode by sending your "unsubscribe" message to LISTNAME-request@rootsweb.com. The tools that list administrators use to manage their list will also be changing. If you are a list admin, you will be contacted in an additional email on Monday with more details and a link to a tutorial. We're excited about the improvements to the lists because we feel confident that they will ensure that the mailing lists continue to run smoothly for years to come. We appreciate your patience while we make this transition and hope that the RootsWeb mailing lists will continue to be a valuable tool in your genealogy research. Thanks, The Rootsweb Staff ********************************************** You received this message from RootsWeb as a one-time email notification of upcoming changes to the mailing list(s) you subscribe to.
