Great idea for a blog, Geniaus.

I really enjoyed reading about The Co-Ordinator and look forward to many more profiles.

I have started a new blog, Genimates, http://genimates.blogspot.com, in which I post profilesw of people in genealogy.

I am thrilled that one of this lists most active and helpfule members, The Co-Ordinator, responded to my request to submit his profile.

Meet him at http://genimates.blogspot.com/2011/02/wayne-cheeseman-co-ordinator....

If you have any suggestions for people to be profiled please let me know - I'd like to have a good representation of those people who don't have a big presence on the web as well as some of the big name bloggers, speakers.

Great to see some activity on the list even though it has to be in the wake of such a tragic event.

The 2011 census was due to be taken in March but is now cancelled. This has happened only twice before: during the Great Depression and in World War II. However, NZ, like Australia, has not kept data on individual households from its censuses in the past so future family historians will have to continue to use other sources of information.

Lovely to hear the supportive comments for our fellow New Zealanders after such tragedy in their hometown.  As with the QLD/NSW/VIC floods, most of the people on my radar in SA have willingly supported and will continue to do so - after all disaster can happen anywhere and anytime to any of us - lets hope that we seen the very last of it for a long time though to give everyone hope for the future.  All the best to all of those people affected by this years happenings.

 

I have registered my interest for the   http://www.congress2012.org.au thanks to the SA Expo last year:)

 

cheers Carol

This is from the Christchurch City Library blog (just before the quake):"If you are interested in your own past, Find My Past AU offers access to a collection of historical records covering Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and the Pacific Islands.

This fantastic resource is  available at all our libraries. Come in and have a play and explore our many family history resources!" 

This gives some idea of the great support Christchurch family historians have received from our libraries. Of course, they are now closed but fortunately staff and users are all safe as the buildings were able to be evacuated immediately.

For those researching in the late 1800s etc don't forget the Destitute Assylm in Adelaide. I just got a set if fische ffrom Gould on them and found a young lady I have been having trouble making timefromes fit.

It gave me name/age/born/where living on admission/ confirmed that this was not her first admission with a reference to the previous and the aledged father of the child born at that time Source and date of entry.

The year in the reference to the previous admision is the same as that of the first daughter who's father is acknowledged as the man she was married to but it could change the date of the fostering out of a male child with no birth record who we have resonable evidence to sugest that she was his mother. Because she was living much further south than where she got married and the husband had vanished of the radar suggests that she may no have returned to that area but only went to where she was when the second daughter began her appearance.

On the entry was thes two words - ENCEINTE PUTATIVE (refering to the father)

my Thasourus check comes up with.

ENCEINTE = pregnant        PUTATIVE = alleged assumed acknowledge

It is not a lot of information but it does confirm part of the family story about her. Another little piece of the puzzle fits.
