I am asking if any one knows of a reliable researcher in the U.K. to look for my fathers WW2 record. I know his army no and where he served, he was a signaller/ gunner and served in India, Madagascar and Burma, we have two medals for the Burma Star. I looked on Google under Burma Star and there was an email address for them, to which I sent an email some months ago but have not had a reply. Dad did not talk too much about his experiences, I was born in 1947 in Rochdale England,and we immigrated to Victoria in 1951 then on to W.Aust. in 1956.If any one can offer some advice on this I would be very happy, Mum will be 93 in a couple of weeks and it could be of interest to her if she knew, also to myself and brother. Thank you, Christine Anderson in W.A.

I want to record publicly my thanks to all those that responded. I received a mountain of information. This group is a wonderful resource.

Hi There, If you google search for the Ballarat Genealogical Society (not sure of the exact name), you will find their home page has a massive list of links to Genie websites. It's fabulous. Cheers, Rowena

Hi Listers, Having a vacant brain day, did someone on the list advise a website that lists possible sites for genealogy research ? I belong to several mailing lists and I am sure I saw one from one of the recently, have searched archives but cannot obviously find it. Any ideas please? Have a great day everyone, sun is shining and all is well Coral - South Coast NSW

Hi Jill It appears they may have gone back to Bethnal Green in UK by 1901 census. I see that you have access to Ancestry for UK records, so if you put Stephen's given and surname and father as Henry and place lived Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and born 1885 you should get 1901 census for Stephen where he (and Mabel) are living with parents Henry & Maria in Bethnal Green and also 1911 census where he is now married to a Charlotte Maud nee BASS also their marriage in St John Bethnal Green on 6th Sep 1909 along with her birth etc. If you can't get access to those records let me know and I will give you what I found regards Freda ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 14, 2013 6:55 AM Subject: [AUS-SAGEN] Lookup in Canada please > Good Morning I was hoping someone could look up some births for me in > Canada > I Have ancestry.com and it tells me a family left England and went to > Winnipeg but I do not have access to Canada/ > I am looking for children of > > Henry PLUNKETT > Born: 1854 Bethnal Green, London > Married: 1877 ? > Maria ? > Born: 1855 London > > The Children I know are > > Stephen PLUNKETT > Born 1885 Winnipeg, Canada > and > > Mabel Mary PLUNETT > Born 1896 Winnipeg, Canada > > I think this is a big break between the children but I do not have any > names for any more children > This family returnd to Emgland and are in the 1911 census > > Thank you in antipation > anything willl be great > > Jill > AUS-SAGEN Archives are here: > http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index/AUS-SAGEN/ > > Websites of Interest on our Blog: > http://aus-sagen-genealogy-websites.blogspot.com/ > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Dear John I for one, think that genetics IS our family history. My son, brother and I recently had our DNA tested by 23andme, which not only gave us over 800 (each) DNA relatives, but also our health profile and much more besides.  I find that I have 2.9% Neanderthal DNA for instance!  The only downside to all this information being available as far as I can make out, is that unless you have a degree in genetics, it's awfully difficult to work out what to do with all this information. I was hoping that it would help me to break down a few brick walls, but I've no idea where to start.  There are tutorials, but they are complicated  What I was hoping for, and didn't get, was step by step instructions about how to interpret the information.  Comparing the surnames of my DNA cousins I find that there are very few which actually tie in with what I have in my vast Ancestry.com.au tree - nearly 36,000.  I'm beginning to wonder if all my ancestors have been having illicit affairs! But it is fascinating to know that you descend from a particular man or woman thousands of years ago and where they were at the time.  My H1 Haplogroup puts me 13,000 years ago in the Pyranees and my brother's R1b1b2a2f puts us in North Western Europe - so lots of Vikings and Normans. I have been totally addicted to this ancestor hunt for over 30 years and the addiction hasn't dimmed with time.  It's all wonderful stuff.

What has this got to do with genealogy ???????????

Fellow Listers, With current advances in genetics applying to genealogy, I'm sure most of us have an interest in these developments and an opinion about them. About the debate between evolution and creation. I would be interested in comments from listers about the following controversial statement: "Civilisation is the enemy of evolution" This statement no doubt invokes different thoughts and comments from different people. Some examples may be as follows: · A tribal hunter suffering from a genetic mutation causing short-sightedness was unlikely to survive and generate offspring. In a civilized society such a disadvantage can be corrected. · The complexity of a DNA genome makes it very hard to believe it has happened by chance and not by design by a creator. · In tribal times, survival was dependant on adequate food supplies. Such supplies varied according to many factors such as climatic conditions and competition with other animals. Individuals who had the adaptability to find alternative food sources survived, while others did not. Farming as an early aspect of civilisation allowed those less adaptable to survive. · In earlier times competition for resources was a constant problem for individuals and tribes, often leading to conflict. Such conflicts of individuals often led to the survival of one and the death of the other. Probabilities suggest that the next generation will have eliminated the genes of the less capable combatant. Civilisation has reduced the frequency of such combat. · If we assume members of our species recognise and admire beauty in each other, then over the countless millennia of our distant past, births would be heavily influenced by the parents' choice of partner. Should a mutation occur in an individual which changes some aspect in the person's appearance which us humans see as more attractive, then that person has an advantage over others when choosing a mate. Theoretically after countless generations, all humans would become beautiful to each other. We certainly see people in the present population who we regard as beautiful. But not all! The simple selection process postulated above has one significant exception - the strength and aggression of the male hunter and his sexual drive would force a union where no attraction applied and his genes would be passed on. In our civilised world there are countless unions resulting in offspring where mutual appreciation of beauty plays no part. You may think this has little to do with genealogy. It will be interesting to see if it is just ignored by listers or if some think it is worth commenting about!!!! Regards to all!
