Hi folks, I'm on a Tasmanian genealogy site as well as several others in Britain,, India and Australia. My mother was born in Queenstown where her Tasmanian father and Kiwi mother were married and had six children (prior to Mum's birth) her mother was of Sussex stock - the father a half Tasmanian aboriginal with a mixture of English whaler/sealer and the daughter of one of the prominent Tasmanian aboriginal elders - Dolly Dalrymple Briggs (By the way) a cousin of Dolly's became a pastor in South Australia and was the first aboriginal Australian to be appointed a State Governor (Sir Douglas Nichols of South Australia) One of the Tasmanian descendants of the same aboriginal/white sealer is married to a member of the Australian Defence Force - one of HIS past times was to set up a family tree for his wife and post it on his website. I found this site and read through the information and discovered that my mother and her siblings were the product of a Maori mother and an European!!!!! Not so at all - BUT her mother had married a descendant of Dolly Dalrymple (making him about a 1/4 caste aboriginal. and they had six children while he was in NZ chasing after the elusive gold dust in the Queenstown area. Even though I wrote to this Aust. soldier proving that my mother's maternal AND paternal grandparents had migrated to Australia from Sussex after their son had paved the way out to OZ (rather than have the authorities send him to VDL in chains!!!) he still has not made any amendments to his website. That recommendation of proving, without doubt, that all the information we post to the internet must be thoroughly checked to make sure it's accurate, cannot be ignored AND more importantly, we need to be verifying the information so we're not just adding more false leads for others to 'presume' has been properly researched! Cheers Ainslie. ps sorry for the length of the post!
