I am not sure I understand the point of the discussion. I assume you do not mean that there are web sites saying that David is involved in a scam. Whereas for "OneGreatFamily" there are web sites with complaints about them. I do not see the point of a search for "One Great Family scam" - it is not a complete logical sentence. it more be more to the point to search for "One Great Family is a scam" which gives no hits. Whereas "OneGreatFamily is a scam" gives one hit which is a reader comment on Dick Eastman's blog - Dick does not appear to have replied to the comment. A more logical search is "One Great Family" + "scam" which is some 646 and "OneGreatFamily" + "scam" which is 677 using www,google.com Interestingly "One Great Family" + scam gives 1160 - ah it also shows Scams A quick look at the complaints it appears folk are unhappy with the method and response to cancelling within the trial period I have no knowledge of the company but I do sense some outrage out there. By normal response is no thanks to "free" trials which require a credit card number and say I have to instigate a cancel -- Ron Lankshear -Sydney NSW (from London-Shepherds Bush/Chiswick) try my links http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~lankshear/

Dear All, I'm sure someone out there knows the answer to this question: Are there indexes available that cover engagement and wedding notices/articles for the Sydney Morning Herald for 1917 to 1922? If there are, how can I access them, please? I want to find 2 engagement notices for my grandmother, but thought I'd ask before trying to sift through all those newspapers! Thanks in advance, Jeny

You wrote: "One Great Family scam". When I plug that precise phrase (with quotes) into Google, I get: Results 1 - 7 of 7 for "One Great Family scam". (0.35 seconds) where, incidentally, 2 of those 7 results are this very discussion. ;) So I assumed you had omitted the quotes, which yields: Results 1 - 10 of about 13,200,000 for One Great Family scam. (0.13 seconds) since you were claiming a result set in the millions. In precisely the same sense that there are millions of scam results for 'One Great Family scam' (no quotes, there are 44,000 results for 'David Coggins scam' (no quotes).

Thank you. I think the old place burnt down. The old MMTB HQ was across the lane from it, so they had an extra source of patronage! Cheers Paul

There were Carlyon’s hotels at St Kilda, at Hampton and at Ballarat. The first hotel on the site was The Mechanics’ Hotel in the 1870’s. Incidentally, it was Norman Carlyon who partnered with Fred Matear to build the Hotel Australia in Collins Street. Later bought by Carlton and United, the three story building was deemed unprofitable and demolished in 1971. By 1973 CUB had opened the single-story Savoy Tavern (now there was a drinking hole where the carpets never dried out) on the site to cater to the large numbers of postal and railway shift workers in the area. Soon after, however, they sold it to Federal Pacific Hotels who had bought the neighboring Savoy Plaza hotel (previously the American-style Hotel Alexander designed by Leslie M. Perrot) some twenty years previously but who immediately after purchasing the Tavern sold the hotel to the Victorian Government for use as the Police Academy. It was the sales of the Savoy and their flagship Federal hotels that provided capital for Federal Pacific’s Wrest Point Casino venture. The Tavern closed some years ago, and the corner site has recently been sold for redevelopment. Regards, Jeanine

A bit OT, but the name would help me find some other things. Melbourne. Spencer St. Corner of Bourke St. Opposite the old Mail Centre. A pub/tevern. Burned down a few years ago. Block still vacant (I think). And the name was? Glenlyons? Paul

And yes - I was over the top with my first post ... "one great family" + scam produces 1580 hits. Cheers

I found a great grandfather who had attended a trade union conference in Dunedin back in 1906. I was born in the north island, so was surprised to find any family connections with the south, just after moving down here to Christchurch. Also search the Christchurch library for St. David's. If you can not make it into town, I could go into the Museum to see what they have on the subject, if you wish. They are open from 1pm to 4.30pm Mon to Fri and I finish work at 2.30pm. Dean * *
