i Mary & Alistair Thank you for replying to my call for Help. Apparently the old site has gone forever. Why couldn't it have been kept as an option?? I can use the new FamilySearch but it takes a lot longer to scroll through masses of information that is irrelevant to my input query and there is there is much information which I gained in the past, that is no longer available. Where has it gone?? I hate the new cool site!!!! Verna

I am seeking to find a passenger who came out to Australia in 1909? Robert

Verna I had exactly the same experience with the new Family Search site and was supported in this opinion by many on lists over here in England. I was encouraged to email Familysearch and protest which I did, but all I got back was a message to say 'keep at it and you'll find in time it's much better than the old set-up'. Worse still, I don't think you can access the old format anywhere now!

Hello Verna This is a message from familysearch in February 2012, it appears the link goes to the new site, so the old one has gone forever - Regards Alan We've heard from many of you telling us that the link to the Classic FamilySearch site no longer appears on the home page. This was not intentional and we apologize for the premature removal of this link. However, after careful consideration we've decided not to replace it. The reason for this is because in the very near future, we will remove the Classic FamilySearch site entirely. When that happens, the link to that site will no longer be needed. The shutdown of the Classic FamilySearch site will take place after we have completed the addition of some of our improved and new site features. We also need to finish transferring all of our data to the new site. Until we make that move, you can still get to the Classic FamilySearch by typing classic.familysearch.org.

WHOOPS I see that the current layout has changed yet again------- I just a moment ago keyed in my father's full name and got a perfect match of ancestors back to 1800s. So may I ask All to help with this target person: I'd like to track descendants of: Arthur Cuthbert Edwards bn abt 1890 who retired when residing in Midson Rd Eastwood NSW; and track descendants of Lionel Virgo Haynes bn abt 1925 he lived in French's Forest NSW.

I certainly got more "hits" on the old site, but will persevere with the new one. It is a shame about losing the Ancestral File.

Hi Verna I have heard some chat about the new site, and the consensus seems to be that if you take your time, and learn how to use the new site, it is much better than the old site. I can't speak from experience because I haven't had the time to learn myself yet, but I have used the new site, and found it to be not as hard as I originally thought. Some-one of the list with more experience may be able to talk you through it a bit better.

Hi List I want to thank everyone who helped me and to tell you that I've found Alice Her name was Alice Maud Butler and she married my grt grandfather Charles Coles in 1910 in Brisbane. After he died in 1928 I couldn't find her but last week , after taking a chance, I ordered a Marriage and a Death Certificate and BINGO! After being widowed in 1928 , she had married again very late in life at the age of 76, George Albert Gorman Pullman in Marrickville. She died in 1966 in Camperdown. Now I need to track down a Pullman person to see what further info I might be able to find. Cheers Marcelle Western Australia

Robert My GGF died about same time; buried Field of Mars on Death Certificate, Not listed on field of Field of Mars Cemetery burials but headstone sighted by me. Catholic info line for Rookwood cemetery did have him listed and after some chasing found him listed at field of mars. Sorry, I don't have the phone number fo Rookwood. PeterO'Do

I am seeking to find Catherine BROWN d) 15 Nov 1947, bur) 17 Nov 1947 Field of Mars Cemetery? Try as I might: I just cannot find her being buried in the Field of Mars Cemetery. In the SMH dated 17 Nov 1947; it indicates that after the Funeral service; they were to proceed to the Field of Mars Cemetery. I note also; the her husband Marshall BROWN died 1972 and wonder if he too; was buried in the Field of Mars Cemetery? A bit of a mystery? Robert KEMSLEY

Hi Nick, Saw your message containing info on Mary Jane BLAIR and John DONALDSON. I have a reference to a John DONALDSON with parents David and Eliza(Smith).born in 1864.Does anything match?. Parents lived around inner Sydney according to various BDMs. Regards Rob

Hi everyone, I have recently subscribed to the lists, and thought I would get straight into it and try my luck (and please excuse my crossposting, just trying to reach a maximum audience, you never know where a fellow researcher may be lurking !). I am trying to revitalise my research once again after a few years out of the regular routine. For many years, and together with some fellow BLAIR family researchers, I have been researching the family of my g-g-g granduncle James BLAIR (b c1817 Liverpool), who married Elizabeth CABLE in 1837 in Bristol, Gloucestershire, and migrated to Australia in 1841. In his years spent in Sydney, James BLAIR was, among other things, a timber merchant, shipowner and publican, and held the license for the Bristol Arms Hotel in Sussex Street during the 1860s and 1870s, as did his sons. James BLAIR died in 1880 in Sydney. In summary, James and Elizabeth's known children were as follows: James Edwin (1) b 1838 (d 1855) Charles b 1843 (d 1859) Francis b 1845 (m Mary Ann HOPGOOD) Emma b 1847 (m Alexander NICHOLSON) Mary Jane b 1850 (m John DONALDSON) Sydney Richard b 1853 (d 1855) James Edwin (2) b 1855 (m Kitty Mary Ann HORWOOD) Sydney John b 1858 (d 1860) Francis and Mary Ann BLAIR (HOPGOOD) had two children who were stillborn - however, Mary Ann's niece inherited their property and money Emma BLAIR married Alexander NICHOLSON, and they had a daughter Elizabeth (married BOWMAN), but by the mid 1870s, Alexander was off the scene, and Emma went on to have a number of children with Frederick WOOD/S. Mary Jane and John DONALDSON (BLAIR) lived in Sydney until the 1880s, and then emigrated to San Francisco - however, whilst some of their children went with them to California, the remaining DONALDSON children continued to live in Sydney. James Edwin (2) and Kitty BLAIR (HORWOOD) had a number of children, and the family lived in Kent Street, then centred around the eastern suburbs and inner west after James Edwin (2) died in 1887 - associated names include LINGARD. If there is anybody on the lists who is researching these families, or knows someone who is researching or descended from these families, I would love to hear from you ! Thanks for taking the time to read my post :) Nick Batley (Sydney)

No problems ,,, I need to get to one that has a printer attached,,, but I did do a little bit of research and found that I can scan them in to computer and invert them..will give that a try before anything else..It's William & Sarah Gill microfiche with around 20,000 names Regards Bev Sent from my iPad On 26/07/2012, at 5:44 PM, "MargM" <genknut@exemail.com.au> wrote: > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <jackie01@netspace.net.au> > To: <aus-nsw-sydney@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Thursday, July 26, 2012 3:39 PM > Subject: Re: [ANS] Food for thought > > >> A very good friend of mine went to Govt. auctions here in >> Brisbane >> and picked up a portable microfiche reader in a had case >> (similar to >> briefcase) for only $10.It's just a matter of being in the >> right place >> at the right time. >> Jackie QLD > > > Sorry I should made it clearer .
