Hi, Can anyone give me the name of a person qualified to research family history in Sydney? Many thanks, Mary [email protected]

Hi everyone, sorry for the cross posting but I thought there might be SKS who would like to be involved in this project. Hi folks I am coordinator for the North Somerset Free Census project and have 28 sets of N Somerset 1891 census fiche to transcribe and check. Volunteer transcribers are urgently needed so if you have access to a fiche reader and computer, and can find time to transcribe a set of microfiche, please contact me privately. Each set contains up to 5 fiche although there is no guarantee that each fiche is full. Why not do as I did and offer to transcribe your own area of research? Email me off list for a list of districts on the fiche I have access to. If you haven't heard of this project please check out details at http://freecen.rootsweb.com/index.html Cheers Sue Young at heart, slightly older in other places! http://freecen.rootsweb.com/ Bringing your ancestors to you - free of charge. Why not join us? North Somerset FreeCEN Co-ordinator Please email Sue direct at [email protected] for further information Cheers, Robynne

Hi again, Can anyone tell me if this house is still standing in Lydham St and what it is like? My gr-grandmother lived here for some time. And not Sydham St as I said in my earlier email...didn't read the writing correctly! Kind regards with many thanks, Mary [email protected]

Hi, My gr-grandmother died at 2 Sydham Ave Sydney on 6 April 1924. Can anyone help me find a newspaper death notice for her and the inscription on her headstone. She is buried in the Methodist Cemetery in Rockdale. Any help very much appreciated, Kind regards, Mary, [email protected]

I am looking for descendants of Marius Olsen who arrived in Melbourne in 1883. The only grandchild so far is Phyllis Dancocks (1920-1963) who was married to a Bousfield. She died in Melbourne. (A warm thought to the man who found her in Diggers). I have done a search on the name on the white pages, and the name seems not common though there are still so many that writing to them all is left for when I get really desperate. First I want to try to hear if there is any Bousfield genealogists? Kind regards Helene Munch Copenhagen, Denmark

I am using Generations Family Tree Grande Suite Version 6. When I send a gedcom file it does not include the spouses. I have searched the manual, but have not been able to see where I am going wrong. Would anyone be able to offer some suggestions? Many thanks Susan Jones nee Pegrum Sydney

Am seeking a lady I assisted earlier this year regarding these names and she had a successful visit to Echuca. I do not have her email address anymore and I have had a letter today into the Kyabram Hist. Library searching same names. Please contact me. Apologies for not remembering your name, but I do a lot of research for people. Eileen Sullivan [email protected]

Hi Trevor, FWIW, I didn't find your post either offensive or inappropriate. It's not like yours was a list setting up in opposition to this one, and it seems like a helpful idea for a specific, and relatively small, group.

O.K. enough please??????? I've been in contact by phone with Robynne tonight so you might all know that I'm away from my desk due to the fact that my Mother is in hospital and I'm needed in Melbourne to be with my family. I've sent Trevor a personal e-mail expressing my thoughts on the matter! And whilst I'm away Robynne is acting List Administrator! So please no cat fights? Ray.

Hello Raymond, I'm sorry to hear about your mother. I lost my father earlier this year, so I know how hard these times are. About the message I posted, I admitted I made a mistake in posting without asking permission. It was only as oversight as I had asked permission of other list administrators. For that I apologise. But I will not take the abuse handed out by Robynne. There was no need to talk to me as she did on list. It would not have been appropriate language offlist either. There will be no need to unsubscribe me as I would not want to belong to a list that not only tolerated, but encouraged this kind of abuse. Goodbye. -----Original Message----- From: Raymond W Henderson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, 24 September 2001 11:52 PM To: Robynne; Trevor Rhodes Subject: Re: [A.G.R. ] Aus FHS Webmasters This is Raymond now, Trevor, I spoke with Robynne tonight and I personally expressed my anger at people joining a list plastering it with all the news about the new list, in your case web page with out any consideration to the list the members or the administrators feelings. If you had have had the manors to have made contact with me I would have given you the O.K. as in this case it would not have had any effect to the list. But please don't start a cat fight on my list with list members otherwise I will remove you from the list. At the moment Robynne is acting caretaker of the Aussie Gen Researchers list, so Robynne was acting on my behalf as I'm in Melbourne at this very moment taking care of my dear Mother who has been taken to hospital today with heart problems, as I trust you would understand that my family come first?

Hello All, This has been cross posted as I thought everyone might like to know. While I was looking at future indexing projects I found a supplement to the December 1858 Victoria Police gazette listing all Brands of Victorian stockholders. Mostly it gives full names and then a station name or place, then the district where they are. I have now indexed these and they are incorporated in my web site. (see signature) I have listed the district as the second "area", as there seem to be duplicate names of properties. There is over 1300 names from all over Victoria. Hope this helps a few. Cheers Jacqui Cunningham Central Victoria http://www.oldnewscopy.com "It's Old News!"

Thank you to everyone who helped me with this. This is a wonderful list. It looks very likely that it was IRENE and BRENDA PLUMB who were murdered in New South Wales by Irene's husband. Brenda was probably about four or five years old. The date was 1930, around March or April. Thanks to Carolyn, I now have a maiden name for Irene which I can check as soon as I can get to London but in the meantime, is there anyone who could check the newspaper archives for the Petersham and Ashfield areas of NSW? Thank you all very much. Jane
