My father was a Dyer but he was born in 1900 and his father appears to have died before 1901 when his mother is listed as a widow. As she died in 1912 and my father in 1948 and his 2 sisters are also now gone we only have vague reminisces passed on by one of my aunts to my cousin. Not knowing the date of birth even of his father makes it really difficult to know where to start. We're also not convinced that there was actually a marriage as we've found no record of that either. I suppose another starting point would be the elder brother, William, but William Dyer was quite a common name in those parts. I tend to do the genealogy in "fits and starts" and will probably get into it when the mania hits me again lol

Hi Janelle
I don't know at this point. Haven't got to research that branch, but I suspect they might be as it is in the same general area of S Aus

Just recently I have been following up with the name Perabo.A year or so back I discovered it was my gggrandmothers maiden name and she and her family came to Australia on the Caesar.Her father and 2 brothers passed away from Cholera b4 they arrived.
What I found out \last week was even tho they came from Germany (alot of Perabos there and Italy also) The origanal Perabo was actually from Spain.
If anyone else has a connection to the Perabo name please let me know.

As far as I know we're the only Dyers in our line that came to Australia. I found only a couple of weeks ago that my father had a younger brother and I know nothing about him other than he appears with the family in the new 1911 Census. Having said that though it doesn't mean that he didn't come here. We used to thing we were the first ones on my Mother's side of the family to come here until I found that my great great great grandmother was a convict sent here in 1847 so nothing is certain!

Ps they had 10 kids I have their names also.

Janelle, my Dyers are from Birmingham and I haven't been able to get past my grandparents on that side because none of us know anything about my grandfather other than his name. I've had much more success with the Scottish side of the family.

I'm happy for people I don't know but who might be related to see my Family Tree details (of deceased relatives) which they can do on Tribal Pages and I also have photos on Facebook available to friends only but I still won't put other information on there. However, if I make the Family Tree details available only to friends on FB it's limiting researchers who aren't on my friends list. I guess it's just a case of choice in the end. I've spent a lot of years on the internet and have always been extremely careful of just how much information I let lose.

Hi Rosemary, I too have my information on FB as our family are spread from one side of Oz to the other as well as overseas. This allows us all to see the latest photos and catch up on what each other is doing. I have my settings set to private so only those who have been invited have access to any information and it is a great way to see the latest photos of the grandchildren.
