    1. [FPFHG-LIST] More Interesting Websites
    2. Ros Dunstall
    3. Interesting Websites *Dreadnought Scheme* In line with our guest speaker’s topic this month I have collated a list of some very good websites that give more information regarding the Dreadnought Scheme · The Dreadnought Boys (Victorian Immigration Museum) http://museumvictoria.com.au/immigrationmuseum/discoverycentre/your-questions/dreadnought-boys/ · Dreadnought Scheme List of entries (Trove) http://trove.nla.gov.au/list?id=10452 · Dreadnought Boys (ABC Landline) http://www.abc.net.au/landline/content/2008/s2394445.htm · Australia’s Lost Boys (The Independent UK) http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/history/australias-lost-boys-2365531.html · The Dreadnought Scheme (National Archives of Australia Research Guides) http://guides.naa.gov.au/good-british-stock/chapter3/dreadnought%20.aspx * * *QueryPic* http://wraggelabs.com/shed/querypic/ QueryPic searches the massive digitised newspaper collections made available by Papers Past<http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast>(New Zealand) and Trove <http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/> (Australia). Just type in a search term and it queries the newspaper database displaying the number of results year by year on a line graph. Very useful if you are searching for a topic or a surname to see when the concentration of articles using this term occurs, allowing you to focus on a more in depth search. *Isle of Man Museum* http://www.imuseum.im/ The Isle of Man Government iMuseum is where you can discover stories from generations of Manx families, objects and places. If you have any family connections with the Isle of Man it is a great site to search especially as they have recently uploaded Manx newspapers from 1972-1960. *Historical Cities* http://www.visithistoriccities.com/ You will finds hundreds of old photos of cities from over the centuries and stories told through video clips. These photos from the past can be compared with contemporary views to understand how the landscape has changed through time. I was intrigued by the video clip of ‘Crossbones Graveyard’ in London, the final resting place, up until 1850, of over 15,000 of the cities’ prostitutes. At one period these ‘ladies of the night’ were known as the ‘Winchester Geese’ as they were licensed by the church through the Bishop of Winchester. *Collections on a Map (National Archives UK)* http://labs.nationalarchives.gov.uk/wordpress/index.php/2012/04/collections-on-a-map/#more-720 This tool is the first stage in the National Archives plan to provide map-based access to their records. It allows you to search for places and to identify records relating to them including a wide range of images. You can also use the map to identify the catalogue references to tithe maps, surrenders of monasteries, 19th century applications for building grants for schools and elementary school digest files (1854 – 1984). So, a search for Chertsey for example would reveal a copy of a medieval map of Chertsey Abbey, the catalogue entry for the surrender of the Abbey to Henry VIII, two photographs of Chertsey bridge in the 1930s and the catalogue entry for the 1844 tithe map. A simple way to search a few collections at a time. * * *Family History Daily* http://familyhistorydaily.com/ The very newly launched Family History Daily is bringing together family historians from many backgrounds to showcase genealogical stories, research, help and resources on a wide range of topics. It is hoped that it will act as a place where the genealogy community can come together to share information and inspiration, celebrating the importance of the genealogy journey. Keep your eye out for helpful articles, expert advice, interviews and personal stories that bring attention to the great diversity of family history knowledge and resources available online. *They are always looking for writers* who want to share their stories and expertise.

Retrospectively rubberneck on London’s least celebrated tales - ones that some might hope were best forgotten. With augmented reality at each site and no skimping on important detail, the effect can be alarmingly vivid. Over 300 virtual plaques give a compendium of colourful vignettes - little-known to locals let alone visitors, exposing foibles and failings that DON'T get mounted on a wall. *Anne Frank <http://www.annefrank.ch/>* In the summer of 1942, fleeing the horrors of the Nazi occupation, Anne Frank and her Jewish family were forced into hiding in the back of an Amsterdam warehouse. Aged thirteen when she went into the Secret Annexe, Anne kept a diary in which she confided her innermost thoughts and feelings. In this iPad edition of a much loved and published book, there are over 40 audio clips, the full text, exclusive audio extracts with notes, historic documents and hand-drawn maps plus timelines alongside expert commentary on key events. Anne Frank died in prison in Bergen-Belsen, three months short of her sixteenth birthday and just a few weeks before the prison was liberated. *Bump <https://bu.mp/>* Use Bump™ to share contact information, photos, videos, and files by simply bumping two phones together.

    2. Ros Dunstall
    3. *Descendants of Boer War Veterans - Requested to Register* The National Boer War Association Inc. has a website - www.bwm.org.au which enables anyone to find out more about the Boer War. Anyone interested to do so should search the databases therein to help trace their Military ancestors particularly those in the Boer War - www.bwm.org.au/site/Ancestor_Search.asp . The South Australian Committee of the National Boer War Association Inc. is very keen to have as many descendants of Boer War veterans registered as soon as possible. All appropriate family members, including young descendants should register. We hope this will capture the interest of many people to search their military ancestry. Descendants of Boer War Veterans information - www.bwm.org.au/site/Descendant_Database.asp can be accessed and we encourage descendants to also be linked to their Boer War Veteran/s. Boer War Day on Sunday 26 May 13 with a service at the South African War Memorial from 11.00AM will be followed by refreshments in the Torrens Parade Ground Drill Hall. Free parking will be available on the Torrens Parade Ground. We expect the event this year to be quite special. Accordingly, in addition to descendants, there will be an enlarged invitation list to include representatives of South Australian military units and Corps, with the honour “South Africa 1899-1902” and their associations to be present. Plus other special guests will also be invited to attend. In addition to the service at the South African War Memorial in front of Government House each year to commemorate the service of Boer War veterans, particularly South Australian veterans, a descendants’ reunion will be held each year. The inaugural descendants’ reunion held in 2012 was a resounding success and it was resolved to continue to have a descendants’ reunion again each year well into the future. Our South Australian Descendant Registrar is Glen Searles, 08 7225 1288, or 0407 186 935, should anyone need further assistance or advice about registering. To be sure of receiving an invitation to the 26 May 13 event, it is advisable to email your contact information to Glen - gis3@optusnet.com.au .

If like me you were a fan of the Hugh Wallis site which took you directly to Batch Numbers for the IGI<http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/%7Ehughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.htm>(International Genealogical Index) records in England, then though this site doesn't offer all the information provided by the excellent IGI, it updates and amplifies much of that information.<http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/%7Ehughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.htm> This website lists the Extracted batches for the British Isles that previously formed part of the IGI. <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/%7Ehughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.htm> * * *The Workhouse (UK)<http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/%7Ehughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.htm> * http://www.workhouses.org.uk/<http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/%7Ehughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.htm> The Workhouse often evokes the grim Victorian world of *Oliver Twist*, but its story is a fascinating mix of social history, politics, economics and architecture.

    3. Interesting Websites.....from SEFHG, Millicent newsletter........ Landed families of Britain and Ireland http://landedfamilies.blogspot.co.uk/ In this very new blog are the results of long-term research into the landowning families of the British Isles and the country houses which they owned. Each post concerns the history and properties of a particular family, making it possible to trace both the links from families to houses and from houses to their owners over time. Comments, especially in the form of corrections or additional information, are very welcome. If you are interested in landed families in Britain it will be an interesting blog to follow. *Legacies of British Slave Ownership * http://www.ucl.ac.uk/lbs/ Colonial slavery shaped modern Britain and the country still lives with its legacies. The slave-owners were one very important means by which the fruits of slavery were transmitted to metropolitan Britain. Research and analysis of this group are key to understanding the extent and the limits of slavery's role in shaping British history and leaving lasting legacies that reach into the present. The stories of enslaved men and women, however, are no less important than those of slave-owners, and the encyclopedia produced in the first phase of the project, while at present primarily a resource for studying slave-owners, will also provide information of value to those researching enslaved people. *Unknown No Longer (Virginia Historical Society US)* http://unknownnolonger.vahistorical.org/ This database is the latest step by the Virginia Historical Society to increase access to its varied collections relating to Virginians of African descent. Since its founding in 1831, the VHS has collected unpublished manuscripts, a collection that now numbers more than 8 million processed items. Within these documents are numerous accounts that collectively help tell the stories of African Americans who have lived in the state over the centuries. *Where Do Our Nicknames Come From?* http://www.namenerds.com/uucn/advice/nickhistory.html Many nicknames we have today sound a little bit strange, but we just take it for granted that a Katherine may be called Kate, or a Richard be called Dick, though these nicknames don't really sound very much like the original name. Why is this? Have a look at the historical aspects of nicknames. It might help with your research when trying to determine who Aggie really is? *Welsh Newspapers Online* http://welshnewspapers.llgc.org.uk/en/ A free online resource from the National Library of Wales where you can discover millions of articles from the Library’s rich collection of historical newspapers. You currently can search and access over 250,000 pages from 24 newspaper publications up to 1910 and it will grow to over 1 million pages as more publications are added during 2013. *Family Tree (New from Family Search)* https://familysearch.org/ Family search have been upgrading and changing their site over the last few years and now, something only previously accessible to Latter Day Saints Church Members, is available to others. With this free service, you can: share and preserve your family information, find, save, and share your ancestors' records, get free, personalized help to find your ancestors, and meet and share with other family members. Click on the Family Tree menu item at the top of the home page to access and sign in. If you do not yet have a user name and password, you can sign up at the same web page. *Apps* For those people who have an *iPhone, iPodTouch, iPad* or other mobile device that uses apps, this section will let you know about those that might be of interest. These have been found on the *iTunes* store http://www.apple.com/au/itunes/ but if you have another device, then use Google to find the relevant version to suit you.
