I have been struggling to decide what to write about for the topics suggested by Amy Johnson Crow, and when I can think about who to write about, I find I have already written posts about them, so I have decided to just write about someone I have recently been researching. I’m a few weeks… Continue reading 52 Ancestors #26 Norman William Faulks

52 Ancestors #25 Same Name
Yesterday, I went searching for newspaper articles for the descendants of John Partridge Whimpey and Charlotte Herbert in the Rhode Islands Newspapers collection at My Heritage, since My Heritage has free access from 3 July to 8 July. As a result, I decided to check what information I had for the family, and what additional… Continue reading 52 Ancestors #25 Same Name
52 Ancestors #23 Going to the Chapel
In order to decide who to write, I did a search in my Legacy Family Tree. I have added the Search icon to My Toolbar, to make it quicker to find. The following are the criteria I selected I only had a few results, so I chose the couple most closely related to me, which… Continue reading 52 Ancestors #23 Going to the Chapel
52 Ancestors #22 So Far Away
Since I have fallen behind with my 52 Ancestors posts, I decided to modify my post Sunday Afternoon Genealogy Fun - Ancestors who migrated a long way from October 2015. In most cases, my ancestors had never moved much in the United Kingdom. In the early 1800s, conditions caused my ancestors to decide to make… Continue reading 52 Ancestors #22 So Far Away
52 Ancestors #21 Military
Yesterday, since the topic for Randy Seaver's Saturday Night Genealogy Fun was to write about what your father loved to do, I decided to use my post for week 24 of the 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks series. Since I had fallen behind with this series, today I am catching up by writing a post… Continue reading 52 Ancestors #21 Military
52 Ancestors #24 Father’s Day/ Sunday Afternoon Genealogy Fun – What Did Your Father Love to Do?
Each week on Randy Seaver’s Genea-musings blog he has a post for Saturday night Genealogy fun. Because of the time difference, I have called my series Sunday Afternoon Genealogy Fun. This week the mission was: 1) It's Father's Day in the USA on Sunday, so let's talk about our fathers. 2) What did your father… Continue reading 52 Ancestors #24 Father’s Day/ Sunday Afternoon Genealogy Fun – What Did Your Father Love to Do?
52 Ancestors #20 Another Language
Most of my ancestors who came to Australia, came from the British Isles, so English is the only language I have had to deal with (at least on my side of the family), except for the mother of William Edward Ball. William was born in Gothenburg, Sweden. His father was an English wine merchant, while… Continue reading 52 Ancestors #20 Another Language
52 Ancestors #18 Close Up
The topic for week 18 was Close Up, and I have decided to write about my 2x great grandmother, Jane Elizabeth Oldroyd, and her sister Rachel Oldroyd, because they lived close to each other. Jane was born 5 April 1828 at Wakefield, Yorkshire, England, and her sister Rachel was born in 1833 in Wakefield. The… Continue reading 52 Ancestors #18 Close Up
52 Ancestors #17 Cemetery
I have decided to do this post about the Kilcunda Cemetery, as this is the only cemetery where I have taken photos of the graves of family members. Since these were my first attempts at taking photos of gravestones, and I took these back in 2008/2009 on a mobile phone, they aren’t very good photos,… Continue reading 52 Ancestors #17 Cemetery
52 Ancestors #19 Mother’s Day
I have not yet written posts for weeks 17 and 18, but, since yesterday was Mother’s Day, and the topic for week 19 is Mother’s Day, I’ve decided to skip ahead to week 19 for today’s post. I decided for this post to write a brief summary of the information I have for the mothers… Continue reading 52 Ancestors #19 Mother’s Day
