I would like to request that when members offer their services for help that, if they cannot be of any assistance, they respond with the relevant message. I have placed two such requests and received no reponse. This gives the impression that they perhaps fall into a void.

A new group member has decided to remain anonymous. I am in a quandary - although I and some other group members hide under a pseudonym we allow others to see our profiles and give out information that may identify ourselves.How do others feel about having a group member who does not reveal anything about him/herself to the group?

I have not invited any GenealogyWise members with restricted profiles to join our group as, by restriciting their profiles, they have indicated a resistance to sharing.

I see the prime purpose of this group as a forum for sharing information openly and am uncomfortable about having members who are merely voyeurs. That is not in the Aussie spirit of a "fair go".

Please let me know what you think.

Belated Seasons Greetings to the members of our group. I hope now that the rush is over (my last guests have gone home this morning) you can devote some of the remaining holiday time to your family research.

Thanks to all for your contributions during our first half year. I hope you can all forge further family connections in 2010,

Royce, You may be interested in the Founders and Survivors project which aims to bring academics and genealogists together in tracing convicts in Tasmania, and their descendants.

I grew up in WV, as did most everybody on my grandmother's side. I am an only but lived with my mother's two sisters' families who, altogether, had seven kids. I was either the third and youngest in one family or the fourth in the other. Kinda crowded.

I also put my name down on Ancestry to help with others genealogy, but australia was not in the list of pages. I wrote to Ancestry and let them know that it is very popular in australia and also there are a number of ex-pats trying to trace Australian ancestry. they informed me it is coming!!!

I mentioned on twitter recently i wasnt going to vote in some Genealogy awards that was happening with an American? ancestry magazine - I first looked for any Aussies in the running, wasnt, so i didnt vote. Yep i'm patriotic for sure and want see more Australian stuff coming together, more lists, more groups etc, etc. I also wrote on my blog (when i first started blogging) about the lack of Aussies ancestry blogs, but its also up to the folks that have these blogs to promote themsleves and Australia etc, and not everyone knows how to do this, or is interested in doing this. We also have a small population to consider.

Enough ramble....
