Hi Chris, Can you give a little more information? When did he die? Who were his parents? What references do you have linking him to Geelong? The surname has been variously transcribed as AWAXKE, AWECKE, AWEGE [Geelong & District Book Index] and AWEGE on the Unassisted Passenger Index for August 1853 on the Wilhelmsburg. Passenger Index shows Gottlieb AWEGE - when did he use the name Joseph Gottlieb AxxxEGE? Regards ...........

Chris, this is in the index AWEGE GOTTLIEB arrived12AUG 1853 on the WILHELMSBURG F from foreign port fiche 013 page 011 There were no other passengers with this surname. You can check passengers here http://proarchives.imagineering.com.au/index_search.asp?searchid=23 To see if he was wwith anther family it would be necessary to find someone illing to check the records at the PRO. They do not offer a research service uinfortunately. I saved all my migration research up and travelled the 4 hours to MElbounre and spent a full day checking my research. good luck Robyn

Hi Folks, The Public Record Office Victoria and the Geelong & District Historical Association have announced a competition based on VPRS 815 : Geelong Court of Insolvency records Details can be found at ................ http://zades.com.au We encourage everyone to participate - the insolvent doesn't have to be a relative - perhaps you might choose someone from your area. And it could be a "team" effort - more than one person working on a particular insolvent. I've uploaded the index for just VPRS 815 so you don't need to trawl through the whole Potpourri database - of course these entries all appear in the Potpourri Database but for this competition I've added the extra list to make it easier. WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? Apart from the fun of a competition, it is important that we get as many entries as possible to highlight the benefits of these records. It is possible that VPRS 815 will be escalated in priority for digitisation of these files which will benefit ALL of us! So get moving and have fun!!!!!!!!!!! If you have any questions, please ask me. Regards ........... Susie Z P.S. The entries for the competition are limited to Insolvents registered prior to 1910 although the index entries on the Potpourri Database cover the period to 1933.

G'day List, I'm seeking confirmation that an 11 or 12 year old lad from Hamburg, Germany disembarked at Geelong from the vessel Wilhelmsburg in 1852. Apart from confirmation I'm interested in who he travelled with and where he was for the next 5 years or so before he left for the goldfields. Regards, Chris in Aadelaide

Hello knowledgeable ones! Several years ago, when I was researching for a talk "Missing Birth Registrations: Why Didn't They Register Him?", I mentioned the local "Vaccination Books" which gave (usually) a date and place of birth, father's name, etc in order to identify the child to make sure the parents had obeyed the "Compulsory Smallpox Vaccination" Act. I noted that the VPRO held 41 of these books from various councils, lodged by the Registrar General's Department. I had particularly mentioned the books of Winchelsea, which were not then in the VPRO, but kept locally, and I had viewed them at the council offices, before the council amalgamations, and wondered what had become of them since then. At the time, it was a common thought of the listers, that Winchelsea records were most likely lodged at the Geelong Historical Centre. I am now updating that talk for a seminar at Yarrawonga, and I wonder if anyone who uses the Geelong H Centre could tell me: Are the Winchelsea Vaccination Books (and any other Vacc. Books from other centres) lodged at the Geelong H Centre? The Vaccination Books have some importance, because some children, locally registered AND vaccinated, did not have their birth registrations forwarded to the Central Registry as required by law, so the only record is in the vaccination books. Not many, mind, but if one of them is YOURS! then it's good to be able to check. Can someone with experience of the catalogue of the Geelong H Centre check for me please?... Winchelsea and any other council? I would really appreciate it. Regards Ada Ackerly

Nor could I find her marriage to anyone Agnew. However I did find the death of a Mary Jane Agnew, d of William Agnew and Jane Morrow, died Northcote aged 72 in 1903. As Mary Jane would have been born in 1831, and the Morrow/Agnew marriage presumably before that, it is quite likely the Agnew/Gilmour marriage pre-dates the Victorian records. However, for the record, there was a John Agnew, married to a Cathereine Gillespie, and having children in Geelong in 1842-48.

Liz HI Everyone Re the unsolicited emails - Yes I guess it is a sign of the times and we just have to live with it. A big thank you to Susie (and possibly others) for spending time catching the likes of these nuisances when possible, to prevent them going through. I find the Digest very interesting and useful as well as inspiring, with the spirit of co-operation abounding within. Does anyone know of any lists of Foster Mothers that may exist for the Geelong area circa 1860, please? Am still looking for the mysterious Elizabeth Jane King, named in family M and D docs as my gtGfather's mother, though she really wasn't. There seems to be no record of her marrying my gtgtGFather James Dedman circa 1862 after the death of his legal wife Jane Elizabeth Barber in that year. This is a brickwall I can't seem to crack!

I think you might find that the poster (Kim) probably had no part in "creating" the link (which I haven't bothered to look at) - it looks like a hotmail insertion which is how they (Hotmail) fund their "free" email addresses etc. They fund it by advertising for all and sundry and the detail below the line would be automatically added to the email before Hotmail release it. I'm not sure that there is an option to suppress any advertising being added to your emails - it's automatic. This is the case with several other "free" email providers.

However I will check with the Rootsweb List Admin Mailing List to see if there has been any discussion or options from their end.

You can't afford to be too much of a 'wowser' on the internet, or you are going to end up awfully offended. My advice is to just ignore it. It's meaningless drivel.

Hi Suzie, Yes I agree entirely. The sender does not insert the advert, it is done by the free service, whatever that may be. Doug Price -----Original Message----- From: aus-vic-geelong-district-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-vic-geelong-district-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Susie Zada Sent: Wednesday, 22 July 2009 6:41 PM To: contact@mansfieldonline.com.au; aus-vic-geelong-district@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [GEELONG] unsolicited ads on the communication page Hi Liz, You're spot on and I also should have cropped the tail of the message before replying (I generally try to remember but sometimes in a bit of a hurry). I think you might find that the poster (Kim) probably had no part in "creating" the link (which I haven't bothered to look at) - it looks like a hotmail insertion which is how they (Hotmail) fund their "free" email addresses etc. They fund it by advertising for all and sundry and the detail below the line would be automatically added to the email before Hotmail release it. I'm not sure that there is an option to suppress any advertising being added to your emails - it's automatic. This is the case with several other "free" email providers. Also, it's nothing that I can control as List Admin or that Rootsweb can easily strip before sending on the emails to the various Mailing Lists. However I will check with the Rootsweb List Admin Mailing List to see if there has been any discussion or options from their end. In the meantime, my best suggestion is don't bother to follow any sort of link like that on any Mailing List or emails. By the way - the advert / link came through on individual List Mail as well as Digest Mail. Hope that helps answer your concerns. Regards ............. Susie Z (List Admin) Snip
