I would melt in 41 temperature Patsy. in the 20's here. I stay inside. It does help if folk do put where they come from, though not too much. There are no families of my maiden surname in Tasmania so not revealing, I dont think. There is one but nothing to do with me. The good thing about TROVE is that if anyone is looking for a stray or scratching their head where to look next, even if they live in Timbucktoo, they may find their really in Australia since TROVE covers all of Australia and mentions Norfolk Island as well. Where we know convicts from Britain went from early times in times late 1770's Edie ------------------------------------------ From: Patsy Crotty <pcrotty@vtown.com.au> To: eamca@bigpond.com; yorksgen@rootsweb.com; Subject: RE: [YORKSGEN] A word of encouragement but not Yorkshire Hi Edie, Glad you added you are in Tassie this time! Now I know my email yesterday was superfluous, as you are in Australia and of course would know Trove. Never mind - but glad to know it now. I hope you are having a good day. It's 41 or something here at the moment, so keeping a low profile is the go. Best wishes, Patsy Crotty
