Hi Cheryl, My Mum was adopted by her paternal grandparents almost a year after her birth. I didn't start tracing the family tree until after Mum died but it was still difficult as there were still living relatives that could be upset by this "skeleton in the closet". My Great Uncle (whom I always thought of as Mum's brother) became ill. I did phone him on one occasion to see how he was and deliberately didn't mention the family tree. He asked me where I was up to with this puzzle of Mum's real parents. I gave him up to date information on all I'd found but said that I had no proof of whom the father was but suspected his eldest brother. He said to me "My God strike me down if I'm telling a lie, but you are right"..... Prior to this, he was adamant that my Mother was his little sister and that was all there was to it. I was able to track down some of the information by contacting: Department of Human Services Adoption Section 555 Collins St. Melbourne You will need to send proof of death etc....and a letter explaining why you want this information. One thing I am curious about.......did you get a copy of the birth certificate/s ? Jackie Q

Hi Cheryl There are two stories I can tell you of my own experiences - the first involves a lady in her late 70s who knew she had an older sister, adopted out at her father's insistance when he married her mother. This lady sought my help to find her sister, tracing her through NZ BDMs through adoption and marriage (they do not restrict access by date). Eventually when I was sure I had located her, and had her phone number, I was asked to make the first contact, in case her sister did not want to speak to her. The outcome was two older ladies who had the joy of meeting, introducing their families to one another, and three months of joyful catching up on 70 plus years of separation before the older sister died. The second story happened when in the 1960s - I was just starting to trace mine & my husband's family histories. In his family I found in my search through BDMs that his maternal great grandparents had not married until the year his parents married. I shared this information with him - and all hell broke loose. He told his siblings who in turn brought it up with their mother and grandmother (who had no knowledge of it). Within weeks the old lady died, and yours truly was blamed for her death, for finding this skeleton in the family closet. It appears that Gran did not know that she was illegimitate when she married in 1901. She feared that this made all her children illegimate also. I was upset when Gran died, and I trust that it was just an accident of timing, but my intention was just to tell my husband and not the whole wider family. >From that point I was persona non gratia in the family, and within two years my marriage had broken up! Certainly a drastic outcome! My advice would be - put the information into the family tree for future generations, but be careful and very sure of those you share it with in the older generation if you decide to take that step. Hope this helps, Rosalyn Hi I need someone to give me some idea of where I go from here – OR - if I do? My grandmother found she was pregnant just after my grandfather left for the WW1. The story goes that his commanding officer refused to let them marry by proxy as he said that some women were only saying they were pregnant so they could get part of the army pay. My grandmother went to the city to have the baby and gave the child to some friends to bring up. Thirteen months after my grandfather’s return they married – I have no idea if they saw each other as soon as he got home or not, or whether they met up again at a later date, nor if they corresponded while he was away. I can’t ask the family any of these questions and I am purposely not using names here. What we were originally told gave a very rosy slant on the whole thing – love prevailing through all hardships - families survive etc - but was only told because of questions that were asked. Then, so the story is told, they went to the family who were looking after their child, who was by now 3 and a half , but didn’t have the heart to take the child back as the friends had been so good - OR - did this part really happen at all - what would the rest of their family think - as they knew nothing of this - (this is me being cynical here – maybe because when I was expecting my first child with my now husband whom I was living with at the time, I received a letter from her telling me I had brought the family into disrepute – hypocritical to say the least). The child was told she was adopted and knew who her parents were and even went to live with the family for several years at one stage but was forbidden to tell her siblings - they were all told she was a cousin! My father didn’t find out until he was in his fifties and he along with his brothers and sisters were devastated – could not believe they were never told. None of them ever really got over it and all felt really sorry for their sister. NOW along comes me researching the family history – this story I already knew BUT purely by accident when looking up the bdms I find my grandmother had another child born in 1917 - and this one is definitely not my grandfather’s as he was away at war – this came as a big shock to me. I wonder if my grandfather ever knew of this child, obviously no one else does. At this stage I have not told my father or his siblings of my find - I feel it would cause too much pain. The only way I would consider telling them was if I could locate this man and it was beneficial to all. If he is still alive - he would now be 89 - so I know the chances are not great. I have searched the bdms for him - a marriage or a death and drawn a blank - of course either of these events may be outside the searchable years. I have checked the phone directory and there are several with the same first initial - but for obvious reasons I can’t just go picking up the phone. He must have been given away also - maybe his name was changed – if so, have I any hope of ever finding him? I have read that formal adoption didn’t commence until 1928 - when this happened is there any chance previous adoptions may have been formalized? Is there anywhere to go from here? Or do I just let sleeping dogs lie? Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi Thank you to all who answered my post, and thank you also for sharing your stories and giving me an avenue to explore to try to find the missing child/now old man. I have been researching for five years now and yes I have uncovered numerous skeletons that people thought were well hidden but this is the only one that affects living family. For those of you that asked - yes I am sure that both these children belong to my grandmother and that the second one is definitely not my grandfather's. I have a copy of his army records so know he did not return to Australia until after the end of the war. I will still try to find the missing second child and only if he is still alive and I thought it would be beneficial to all parties would I consider sharing my information. I will document all I have found along with the birth certificates for any future researcher in the family. What upset Dad and his siblings was not the fact that their mother had had the child but that they had an older sister that they had thought of as a distant cousin who had missed out on so much - things that were not recoverable. I realise the 2nd child is a half brother, that we will never know who his father was and that things were different in those times but that does not stop me feeling sorry for him and all he also missed out on. And although I hate being party to this cover up I will probably have to be - not to protect my grandmother but to protect my father and his siblings from unnecessary pain. Thanks again Cheryl

Cheryl, I don't think that it is a question that anyone on the list can answer for you, after all we are not involved with the family and their feelings. I would suggest though that all proof is found first to confirm the "story", it would be devestating to all, for you to bring it up if it was incorrect. For instance have you ensured that your soldier did not come home on leave at all? As I say, make sure you have lots of proof before saying anything Mary ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cheryl Reed" <reedcheryl@optusnet.com.au> To: <AUS-VIC-NE@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, February 11, 2007 9:48 AM Subject: [AVNE] Do I let sleeping dogs lie ??

Cheryl, I do feel for you as I faced a similar dilemma about a year ago arising from my research into Yack family. In my case I sought permission from those personally affected to continue researching and also permission later to share their contact details with the 'discovered' half siblings. In my case it worked out very well, but I was nervous and can understand your fears. Perhaps if you look up your grandfather's war records online through the National Archives website. All WW1 records have been digitised now and are a boon to family researchers. Every single page and letter are to be found there. Good luck Ian _________________________________________________________________ Advertisement: It's simple!

Hi Cheryl, Unfortunately no one can really answer your question for you. We are not in your situation - no this is not a cop out. Follow your instincts. You could always leave it for the next generation of researchers so that the people involved are all dead, just make sure that you write down everything that you have been told. I am not fond of that one myself as then there are no one who can answer your questions - assuming that they will. I came into famliy history reasearch by accident. My father asked me to help him as he was no longer able to keep up his reasearch as my stepmother had suffered a stroke and needed a great deal of care. Before agreeing to help him I told him that I would keep digging (curiousity being my besetting sin) and that there were no doubt things in the family tree that he would rather not know. He agreed and now I am sure he may regret it at times. It appears that his oldest brother was probably his half brother and his parents did not marry until 4 years after his birth with my grandmother pregnant with her second child. Dad knows and is a bit shocked and has asked me not to tell my cousin, who is the only surviving child of my uncle, as it would devistate her. I have agreed. Knowing and telling are two different things. Everything is included in my research so I am not burying it either. My mothers side has a "ringer" as my her brother says. It seems that while the husband was off at war his wife became pregnant with a child that could not be his as she hadn't seen him for nearly 12 months. However when her husband returned the child was accepted as one of their brood and raised with all the others. Rather different outcome from yours I know. The point is that every family has these stories. People are people. I am fairly sure that my grandmother's half sister who is still living is aware of what has happened and she flatly refuses to talk about it. When she is dead there will be no one to ask. A possible solution for your 89 yr old. If you know the surname check the electoral rolls. Good luck with making what is going to be a difficult decision.

Hello to the North East list. I know there are a number of people on the list who have connections to Joseph Augustus Pleming and Julia Hannah Robins. For as long as I can remember information given information has been given that this couple married at St Austell Cornwall on the 17th September 1844 with their children born after this date. Just recently I was contacted by a member of the family who again quoted this information. I decided to have a look at the records and make sure the information was correct and found that it was in fact wrong. Joseph Pleming and his wife Julia Hannah Pleming were married at the time of the 1841 census (folio 125 page 28) and their 4 eldest children are all living at the time. The eldest should not have been born according to previous information until 1847. All of the incorrect information has been submitted to the IGI so any one looking for this family will instantly record the incorrect data. The other interesting fact is that a birth date of 1819 is given for Joseph Augustus Pleming this information would most likely be incorrect going on the ages of the children (making him 15 when his eldest child was born) This makes me question was Joseph Augustus the son of John Pleming and Mary Dalley and all other previous generations. I will be now trying to put a true family tree together for Joseph and Julia Pleming. I would also suggest to anyone using the LDS IGI to double check the information. Regards Judy

I am a museum researcher in the United States, trying to find someone named Mr. Bonat, who is described in a family diary as "Bowna Div. Army man." We only recently learned that Bowna Div. is or was a place in New South Wales, a land-holding. Mr. Bonat married a woman from Quebec named Marie-Louise LeBel (born 1876), who migrated with her family to Michigan, in the United States, around 1885. We think the marriage took place in the 1890s, or a bit later, but not after 1905, since Mr. Bonat was dead by then. I am very sorry to say that we don't have Mr. Bonat's first name, nor the date or place of his birth, nor the precise date or place of the marriage, nor his place of death. (We do know a fair amount about Marie-Louise LeBel Bonat, who traveled a great deal. By 1905, she was living in Philadelphia and listing herself in the city directory as a "widow," thus giving us an approximate date for Mr. Bonat's death. She lived mostly in the US, with occasional periods in Paris, and died in Middletown, Rhode Island, in 1936.) I have several questions relating to Mr. Bonat that I hope listserv members can help me with. (1) Was the village of Bowna (flooded now, I understand, by construction of a dam), or the Bowna (sub)Division, named for a family whose surname was Bowna? If so, does anyone have information about this family? -- what did they do for a living? where did they came from (if originally from some place other than Australia), and when did they come? Are there any descendants, or is there a way to track them, to see whether one of their ancestors did in fact marry in French-Canadian woman named Marie-Louise LeBel? (2) How can I find out if a man, or a family, named Bonat lived in the Bowna (sub)Division, and get more information about him? The name Bonat is quite unusual, so that even though we don't have his first name, I think he would show up on military or parish lists, census records, etc. Maybe Bowna or Albury parish records -- do those exist anywhere? Or census records for perhaps the 1880s or 1890s -- I would search for both Bonat and Bowna. Note: Before we found out that Bowna is a place name, we thought it might be a misspelling of "Bonat," since both words would be pronounced the same, if Bonat is a French name. It is also possible that Marie-Louise, who was very fond of all things French, "Frenchified" the name Bowna so that it came out Bonat. That's why it might make sense to search for the name Bowna as well. Thank you very much for your assistance. Sincerely, Carren Kaston
