Hi listers, I'm still trying to locate Howe descendents from the Dalby/Roma area. Having some trouble Australianising the German first names though. My GG Grandmother Kate Howe m. William Brown 7.2.1878 in Roma. Kate could be Anna Margarethe or Johanna Maria, but most likely the former.(From passenger list) Wilhelmine Dorothea m. Heinrich Thies 12.9.1864. Fortunately for me she kept her German name. Annie Howe M. George Henry Norman 3.11.1876 Annie Mary Norman died 26.6.1933. Parents listed as Charles Howe and Catherine ? .It makes sense that these are the same person as parents were Karl Heinrich and Martha Katherine on passenger list. (But Charles and Mary on Kate's death cert.) Other siblings are Juliana Henriette, Wilhelm Friedrich and Maria Johanna. If anyone is researching these names I would love to hear from you. Regards. Maree in Ipswich.

> If the answer could be posted to the list I would appreciate it, for I > also use TMG and have the same impression about the reports. I use Family Tree Maker (FTM) currently. I am not an expert on TMG; I've bought it but never used it in anger (I found the interface inconvenient). But it is important to understand that TMG thinks about information in a different way to FTM. TMG has an "event" focus whereas FTM has a "fact" focus. Now for a lot of purposes these are simply two sides to the same coin and switching between them isn't a problem, but TMG's event focus can lead to it holding some extra information that will not convert well into FTM (going the other way is not so hard). So I would not make any hasty decisions about moving from TMG to FTM as your primary family history database as you *might* lose some information in the process. What some people do is use two programmes, one for the database and data entry, and the other just for reports. So you could continue to enter your data into TMG, then when you want a report, export the data from TMG into GEDCOM and then read that into FTM to print the report. You might find doing this a better way to go. That way you get a chance to experiment with FTM, and then later, if you feel happy with it, you can move to FTM as your primary database if you wish. However, a lot of people use 2 programmes like this indefinitely suggesting that no single program satisfies all their needs. And if your experimentation with FTM leaves you disappointed, then you simply stop using FTM as all your data is still in TMG. So, in summary, proceed cautiously. You have invested a lot in the data entered into TMG and in learning TMG. Do not move away from it until you are very comfortable with your new software (both in terms of its ability to upload your TMG data and in your familiarity with using it). Kerry

Hi Listers, I know that this is slighty off topic so I hope the list administrator will bear with me. Any replies please send direct to me. I have been using the program TMG for a number of years and although I am happy with the data entry of info I've never been totally happy with the reports it produces. I have seen some of the reports produced by Family Tree Maker and prefer some of its options. Is there anyone on the list who has used both of these programs who could give me their impressions. I'd also like to hear from Family Tree Maker users. Most people in Darwin use either Brother's Keeper or PAF so I have no one to ask locally. Bye, Rosemary M Chalmers Darwin NT Australia [email protected]

Thank for taking the time to point out the different options - never thought of running two different programs at the same time. You are right, there was a lot of time taken to enter all this data with the "event" feature.

Hello the List I am trying to find where I might be able to look up Brisbane papers. Where would I find the paper that was around in 1890, and what was it called? The Archives told me they don't have photos of Mayors of Brisbane. I am looking for Arthur Morry Mayor of South Brisbane 1890-1891. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Elizabeth, Esperance, Western Australia..

Hi. If anyone is familiar with the following could they please contact me. Thomas James Wigston m Florence Bridget McAuliffe 1932 Brisbane Queensland. Mary Jane Wigston m Benjamin George Murrell 1913 Brisbane Queensland. Winnifred Margaret Murrell b 1916 was the only child of Mary Jane and Benjamin that I could locate that had not passed away at a young age. As the births do not go beyond 1919 I am unable to find out if there were any more children born to the above. Nor am I able to find out whom Winnifred married. Any help would be appreciated. Also looking for children of the following..... Charles Middleton Lee m Margaret Agnes Nixon 1919 Minnie Amelia Nixon m ? Stella Hildergard Nixon m Clarence Albert Pedler 1933 Frederick Thomas Nixon m ? Gordon Courtney Nixon m Madge Ireland Gladys Irene Nixon m William George Frederick Nott. Thanks Hayley

Hello to all in the Sunshine State, I was wondering if any kind person could help me locate a branch of the family that has just come to light via the wonderful discovery of a treasure trove of letters. I am searching for information on *Margaret Chapman HEWITT* (nee BRODIE) and her family. She was a cousin of my grandmother, and in 1941 was living at "Glenmore", Mount Mee, D'aguilar. Many thanks in advance, Sue

Hello the List I am new to the Queensland list, so I am wondering if anyone can help. My ancestor ARTHUR MORRY, was mayor of South Brisbane 1890-1891, so I would like to know if there is photographs of the Brisbane Mayors. Also if anyone can help me with the following;- Reverend Peter Aston and his wife Emma Morry and children came to Australia. He was a Primitive Methodist Minister. I am presuming that he came to Queensland as Emma's brother Arthur Morry lived there. Don't know the dates but it would have to be after 1882, as this is the last date that I have him in England. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you. Elizabeth, Esperance, Western Australia.

Hi Listers, My husband would like to get a copy of his grandparents wills. Both died around 1960 in Brisbane (I have there actual dates on file). I have accessed wills from 1941 and earlier but cann't remember what department I contacted. Also because it is within the 50 year period I don't know whether it is another department anyway. My husbands father was the only child and he died in 1995, so my husband is only one of three grandchildren of the above. Any help in where to go will be much appreciated. Bye, Rosemary M Chalmers Darwin NT Australia [email protected]

Hi all Can any one remember, or better still, have a photo of..the cannon that stood near the soldiers memorial at Sherwood. I am trying to establish when it was removed... I am also interested in similar details regarding Goodna, Toowong, Taringa and Kedron. Regards.. Ken Edwards.

Doreen Joan LEAHY (nee Coggins), daughter of Edward James and Lillian Coggins) came to Brisbane from Auckland, New Zealand where she was born in 1927. She was followed by her 6 children, all born in Auckland between 1945 and 1960. If any of the family read this and would like to get in touch, I would love to hear from you. Doreen's Grandparents Margaret Annie Jones (nee Hall) my Great Aunt, and her husband Edward Othen Jones came to New Zealand in 1907. Regards from Shropshire, England.....

If anyone has access to the passenger list for shipping from England to Brisbane, I'm looking to find out what ship George DOUGLAS and family (Emma, Helen, Arthur, and Albert) came out on. They appear to have travelled out somewhere between 1886 and 1889. Neale Ferguson
