<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My 4th great grandfather, Joseph Fernance, purchased 30 acres of land in the Hunter region. The receipt describes it as Lot 21. He paid the balance owing on 15 September, 1842.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On the back of the receipt my great grandmother has written '30 acres in Hunter - other side of river joining J D Fernance (&) O J Thompson'.</span><br />

The article used my First Fleet convict William Douglas to demonstrate how to find other pieces of your colonial ancestors life using the Biographical Database of Australia.

on their past year’s achievement through her <a href="http://geniaus.blogspot.com.au/2016/01/a-tradition.html">Accentuate the Positive Geneameme</a>. Here’s my reflection on what I have achieved
genealogy-wise in 2015.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #222222;">An elusive ancestor I found was</span></b><span style="color: #222222;"> . . . where my 3<sup>rd</sup>
great grandfather, John William Rae, was born. His marriage certificate, death certificate
& his son’s (my direct ancestor’s) birth certificate simply stated his
birthplace as <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Ireland</st1:place></st1:country-region>.
I took ordering birth certificates for
all of his children but, just as I’d hoped, it listed his birthplace on his
first child’s birth certificate – <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Belfast</st1:city>,
<st1:country-region w:st="on">Ireland</st1:country-region></st1:place>. Now if only I could find his immigration
record!<br />
<br />
<b>A precious family photo I found</b> was</span> the same as <b>A
geneasurprise I received</b>. I visited
my paternal grandmother this year to see what she could tell me about where her
Rae ancestors were from. While she
firmly believed that they were from <st1:country-region w:st="on">Ireland</st1:country-region>, she wasn’t able to help me
any further. She gave me many of her
photos during this visit but the real surprise came a few months later. My father had been to visit her & gave me
a photo from her. This was a photo of
her on her wedding day. Standing on one
side of her was her paternal grandmother, Emma Guyatt, & on the other side
was her new husband’s paternal grandmother, Catherine Curran. As part of UTAS’s Introduction to Family
History course, I researched Catherine & her teaching career last year which
makes me treasure this photo all the more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222;"><br />
<b>An ancestor's grave I found was</b> also another <b>geneasurprise
I received.</b> I don’t really use
Facebook for genealogy, but someone I know told me to have a look at the Family
History Group of <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Bathurst</st1:place></st1:city>’s
Facebook page as there were some Curran graves on there that had been restored.
I was hugely surprised to find that they
were the graves of my 3<sup>rd</sup> great grandparents!<br />
<br />
<b>A newly found family member shared</b></span><b> </b>a photo of a ring that was
passed down to him & which apparently belonged to my 4<sup>th</sup> great
grandfather, Carl Heinrich Vonthien.<br />
<br />
<b>A genealogy conference/seminar/webinar from which I learnt
something new was</b> pretty much everything I watched / attended but the
AFFHO Congress in <st1:city w:st="on">Canberra</st1:city>
really stood out. I still need to catch
up on the speaker’s papers!<br />
<br />
While I don’t think I’ve achieved much in my own personal genealogy
research over the past year, I do feel like I have contributed to the genealogy
community by volunteering to help transcribe records online. This year I took part in FamilySearch’s Worldwide
Indexing Event again. I also helped to index
/ transcribe the WW1 Nominal Roll for the Australian War Memorial. The Prosecution Project is something else that
I’m involved in, entering data from historical court records. While I have helped transcribe records for
Ancestry & FreeBMD before, they were quite onerous. The Prosecution Project & the WW1 Nominal
Roll were straightforward, making it easier to transcribe greater amounts of
information. Hopefully I’ve been able to
‘pay it forward’ in a small way during 2015. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 16pt;">J</span></div>

I have several Lutheran ancestors from this area &, not really knowing how to proceed with my research, I could definitely use a helpful resource.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">According to the publishers, this book:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Identifies the parish where an ancestor worshipped based on where they lived</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Gives the FHL microfilm number for the family’s parish records</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Identifies nearly every city, town, and place that included residents</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Visually identifies church parishes for Lutherans & Catholics in each district</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Identifies adjoining parishes in case an ancestor attended an alternate parish</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Aids in area searches, particularly across district or regional borders</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Provides visual identification of search areas in which to look for a family</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Helps in determining proximity of one area to another</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Aids in determining reasonable distances of travel from one area to another</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Identifies population centres in each parish</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Identifies archives, repositories, and other resources</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Aids in identification of the location of minority religions</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Definitely on my wish list!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I received my Ancestry DNA results a few days ago. Some of the ethnicity results were surprising, especially in light of the information I have on my constructed family tree & the countries of origin of my ancestors. I decided to compare my ancestors’ countries
of origin to my Ancestry DNA ethnicity results.
I chose to look at my 3<sup>rd</sup> great grandparents for this
analysis because this generation was the most recent & ‘purest’ in terms of
ethnicity; of my 32 3<sup>rd</sup> great grandparents, 31 were of a single
ethnicity, e.g. Irish, English, Prussian. Only one ancestor was mixed, the son
of a Welsh father & and English mother.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Irish portion of my DNA is easily explained. However, I was surprised at the percentage,
given that about 18% of my 3<sup>rd</sup> great grandparents were Irish. Although I guess approximately 62% of my 3<sup>rd</sup>
great grandparents on my paternal grandfather’s side were Irish.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">European West would cover my Prussian / German
heritage. Almost half of my mother’s
ancestry is Prussian, & ¾ of my 3<sup>rd</sup> great grandparents on my
maternal grandmother’s side are Prussian.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Scandanavian section of my DNA was surprising, but early
Scandanavians migrated to modern-day eastern <st1:country-region w:st="on">Germany</st1:country-region>
& <st1:country-region w:st="on">Poland</st1:country-region>
(which overlaps with European West).
Vikings also inhabited parts of <st1:place w:st="on">Ireland</st1:place> in later centuries.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What surprised me even more was that only 2% of my DNA is
from <st1:country-region w:st="on">Great Britain</st1:country-region>. More than 50% of my 3<sup>rd</sup> great
grandparents were English. All of my 3<sup>rd</sup>
GG on my maternal grandfather’s side were English & ¾ of my 3<sup>rd</sup>
GG on my paternal grandmother’s side were English.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, what conclusions can I draw from these results? Overall the majority of the DNA passed on to
me by my father was Irish, while at least half of the DNA passed on to me by my
mother was western European (Prussian / German). The next largest chunk of ethnicity is
Scandanavian, which really could have originated from either side through Irish
/ Prussian descendancy. Very little of
their English DNA was passed down to me.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After reading Sharon Muffett’s post about her <a href="http://missmuffett.blogspot.com.au/2015/09/more-dna-mapping.html">Ancestry DNA results</a> on her blog <a href="http://missmuffett.blogspot.com.au/">gathering dust</a>, & how
she has converted these results to Family Tree DNA, my next step is to transfer
my results to FTDNA & compare the ethnicity results from Ancestry DNA & Family Tree DNA.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then, maybe, just maybe, I might be able to convince some
relatives to have their DNA tested.</span></div>

I didn't find much information on Michael Sweeney, but I did find a lot about his wife, Mary McQuain, who is my 3rd great grandmother. One of the best parts of this website is the option to 'Make a Face', which allows you to create a face for your convict. It works much like a police Indenti-kit, It begins with a randomly-generated image, but has a series of options that lets you alter the features of the face to match the description listed on their convict indent (Tasmanian convict indents have detailed descriptions). I had trouble saving my created face but I used a screen-capture program to save the image.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Thanks to the <i>Mugshots</i> section of this website I have been able to create the image below as well as access 'locations' for Mary - a timeline of where she was at certain points & who she was assigned to :)</span><br />

The post was written by Diane Haddad for <a href="http://blog.familytreemagazine.com/insider/">Ancestry Insider</a>, Family Tree Magazine's blog. This article explained why German families gave their children the same first names. <br />
<br />
I know that some of my German ancestors named all of their sons Johann. In one family there is a Johann Friedrich Erdmann, Johann Gottlob, Johann Carl Heinrich and Johann Carl Friedrich. The feminine version, Johanne, was also very popular amongst my ancestors. In another family group there is Johanne Caroline, Johanne Salome & Johanne Auguste. This is further confused by the fact that their brother is called Johann Christian, their mother Johanne Christiane & their father Johann Gottlieb!<br />
<br />
Apparently German children were given two names. Boys were commonly baptised as Johannes or Johann. It is the second name, the <i>Rufname</i>, that they were known by. So in my second family group example from above, the members of the family would be known as: Christiane (mum), Gottlieb (dad), Caroline, Salome & Auguste (sisters) & Christian (brother). I wonder how that works with the other siblings though, as there are still some conflicts in this family group. The other siblings are Caroline Christiane, Eleanore Ernestine, Marie Elisabeth, Ernest Gottlieb, Gottlieb Traugott, & Ernst Wilhelm - still results in more than one Christiane & Gottlieb. I had just assumed that they were known by both names. This naming tradition may help to explain why, generations later, family members where still known by their middle names, which I had thought was just a family 'quirk'.<br />
<br />
Another tradition in German-speaking areas was to name children for one of their baptismal sponsors. The most common patterns used is similar to Scottish naming traditions. Sons were named in the following order / pattern:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>First born, named after paternal grandfather</li>
<li>Second born, named after maternal grandfather</li>
<li>Third born, named after father of the child</li>
<li>Fourth (& any further born), named after uncles of the child.</li>
</ul>
<div>
The same patterns applied to daughters - first born named after paternal grandmother, second born named after maternal grandmother, third born named after mother, fourth & successive named after aunts. I will have to have a closer look at my ancestors to see if they followed this tradition, & then I might be able to have a guess at unknown parents & siblings!</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This page has terms you are likely to come across when reading the birth, marriage & death registers.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This website has a list of Irish names written in Latin, to help you decipher the names you will come across. Beneath this list there is also an explanation of the rules of Latin, e.g. :James son of James should read: Jacobus filius Jacobi"; male names that end in o add 'nis, Hugonis.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In saying this though, I couldn't actually find a death entry for my parish, so I don't know how helpful those tips are yet.</span><br />

Granted, I knew the parish, & the townland, & it was only a few pages into the microfilm, but I've managed to translate most of the entries. Some of the other siblings will be just as easy to find, but some of the siblings were born before this register started in 1849. Finding other Irish relatives won't be anywhere as easy because at best I have a county, & one I just have 'Ireland'.<br />

Here is my first discovery:<br />

<b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Day Four of AFFHO Congress 2015<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I forgot to mention Day 3’s lunchtime keynote address
by Grace Karskens, <i>Men, Women, Sex and Desire:
Family History on Australia’s First Frontier</i>. In this talk, Grace presented some of the
findings of her research on relationships, marriage & families in the early
community of Castlereagh, on the Nepean River in NSW. Wow!
The relationships & events that Grace shared reminded me of the
plotlines on The Bold & the Beautiful – talk about complicated &
scandalous! It’s absolutely incredible
that the details of some of the lives of the early settlers can be
reconstructed to give us such an insight. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I began the final day of the conference by
listening to Paul Milner’s talk, <i>Digging
for Gold - Locating British Miners and their Records</i>. I have some Cornish miners who migrated to
South Australia & continued mining.
I learnt from Paul that Cornwall mines were hard rock mines – tin &
copper (fingers crossed that I’ve remembered that right). The conditions in hard rock & coal mines
were quite different – the size of the mine that was being worked in, the
dangers involved, etc. Paul discussed
the history of mining in Britain, the conditions that miners (soft rock &
hard rock) miners worked in, the records that were created & where to
locate them. He pointed us towards a
range of online & printed resources to learn more about mining & the
definitions of technical & colloquial terms that we might come across. My favourite quote from this session was: if
there’s a hole in the ground, you’ll find a Cornish miner at the bottom of it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Next up was <i>A General and Indiscriminate Stigma - the Irish Famine Orphans,
1848–1850</i>, presented by Cheryl Mongan.
The Irish Famine Orphans were young girls (generally between the ages of 14 – 19) from
the workhouses of Ireland who came to Australia as part of the Earl Grey scheme. The Earl Grey scheme bought over 4000 young
Irish females, who had been left orphaned by the Great Famine of Ireland, to
Australia to work as indentured domestic servants. Most were orphans in the true sense, but
others were termed ‘orphans’ if their parent/s were alive but unable to look
after them. These girls were often met
with criticism & prejudice; they were considered disobedient, untrained
& unsuited for domestic service. Cheryl spoke about the experiences of the
Irish Famine Orphans and how many of them overcame the prejudice &
hardships to establish successful families of their own. Some of the descendants of these girls come
together for the annual commemorative service at the Great Famine Memorial at
Hyde Park Barracks in Sydney or Famine Rock at Williamstown in Victoria. Irish researchers have been working to unite
families with their distant Australian relatives – which reminds me, the last
time I checked the <a href="http://irishfaminememorial.org/orphans/database">Irish
Famine Orphan Database</a>, there was a contact name from Ireland Reaching Out listed
with my ancestor that I need to email.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The final presentation I attended at the
conference was by Michelle Nichols, <i>Discovering
the Hidden Riches in Public Libraries: Fostering Family History in Local
Studies Collections</i>. I got two
things from this session – that Hawkesbury Library serves as a model for other
local libraries to provide access to & promote their local collections; &
that I need to visit Hawkesbury library because my great grandmother’s family
lived in the area, at & around St Albans, from about the 1830s to the 1980s.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The local library’s holdings can support
family history & local community research.
Resources can include local government records, historical photos &
maps of the area, & local & family histories – resources relating to
that specific community & the families who lived there. I have used Blacktown’s local history
collection, at least what I have seen on the shelf, but perhaps there are many
other records at the library that I’m not aware of. I know that I haven’t seen any church &
cemetery records, or historical maps & photos. Local libraries should be promoting their
local history collections, even if it’s just by a webpage that outlines the
materials that are available & how to access them. Being able to access some of these records online
would also be a bonus.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I was pleasantly surprised to hear Michelle
mention some of the family history resources that her library has, particularly
the Jurd family history book, <i>To Live on
in the Hearts & Minds of Descendants is to Never Die</i> by Peter
Newman. This book is about my 5<sup>th</sup>
great grandfather, Daniel Jurd, who married Elizabeth Douglas, & their
descendants. I have that book & I
can attest to just how large, & heavy, the book is! I was also intrigued when Michelle showed an
image of something that was written from a soldier, or to a soldier, in WW1 to
an Olive who lived in the area – I could swear that was my great grandmother,
but I didn’t know anything about her knowing a soldier in WW1. I wish I had taken a quick picture of it
because last week I got a pile of photos from Olive’s daughter, my grandmother,
& inside was an envelope with postcards from an unnamed soldier in WW1 to
my great grandmother.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I have been making a list of books that I wanted
to look at since last year – these books could help me break my biggest brick
wall – Helena Lindner - & the closest place to access them was at the
National Library in Canberra. I had
limited time in Canberra, having to be back in Sydney & up bright &
early to go back to work on Tuesday, so I decided to leave the conference a bit
early so that I could go to the National Library. This unfortunately meant that I had to miss
the afternoon session I had planned to attend, Cora Num’s lunchtime keynote address
on using online newspapers, & also the panel discussion </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 12pt;">L</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> However, I got to read through
the information in the relevant books so I have a possible new lead.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I absolutely loved being at the conference – getting
the opportunity to listen to speakers in person, the information that was
presented – basically being immersed in genealogical learning for 4 days
straight! It was also great to be able
to meet other geneabloggers, some of who I know, or know of, from the online
community. Jill Ball, you were especially
welcoming & introduced me to quite a few other people </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 12pt;">J</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">. I bought a few resources & I
have many new research areas to follow up.
The only downside was how incredibly exhausted I was after each day,
& not feeling well enough to catch up with fellow HSP105 UTAS students at the
dinner on Sunday night </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 12pt;">L</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I know that I will definitely be attending
Congress in Sydney in 2018! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Sunday began with Kerry Farmer’s talk, <i>Migration Schemes to Australia</i>. Migration schemes were schemes where financial
incentives, often subsidised passage, were offered to encourage migrants from
the British Isles to come to Australia, instead of the US & Canada which
were cheaper alternatives. Different migration
schemes were in place at different times during the 19<sup>th</sup> & 20<sup>th</sup>
centuries. Different schemes had
different selection criteria to attract desirable immigrants - those with
certain skills, in particular age groups or in required occupations. The number & type of immigrant could be controlled
as needed by varying the assistance or incentive & the selection criteria. Kerry outlined some of the different
migration schemes that have been in place, both before & after federation –
who the immigrants were, why they were desirable at the time, what incentives
were offered, how the scheme was financed, and where to find further
information.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">A Different
Kind of DNA Talk</span></i><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">, presented by Colleen Fitzpatrick, presented
some information that I was already familiar with, however Colleen used some
analogies that really strengthened my understandings of DNA. The analogy she made between our DNA &
manuscripts that were hand-copied was probably the strongest – the more a
manuscript was copied, the more likely there was to be a mistake, just like
when DNA is copied from parent to child.
She also introduced me to cladograms, which are visual representations
of Y-DNA results that show how individuals are related.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Perry McIntyre’s second presentation was <i>‘The infernal villain will be sent away’:
Convict Case Studies from the National Archives of Ireland, Dublin</i>. Perry told us about the Chief Secretary’s
Office Registered Papers in the National Archives of Ireland, which are the
equivalent of Australia’s Colonial Secretary’s Correspondence. This resource is currently being digitised
but most of the documents have been transcribed, meaning they are searchable by
keywords & names. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">To illustrate how CSORP can help us in our
research, Perry presented some case studies of people that came to the
attention of the authorities for their criminal activities.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">After lunch I attended Pauleen Cass’ talk, <i>Harness the Power of Blogging for Your
Research or Your One Place Study</i>. To
illustrate how blogging gives genealogists unique opportunities to bring descendants
from a particular group of emigrants together, Pauleen presented two case
studies from her own research that focused on migration networks: one from
Ireland & one from Germany.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The
final talk for the day was <i>Bring Your
Ancestors to Life: Using Court of Petty Session Records</i>, presented by
Shauna Hicks. Shauna uses the term ‘petty
sessions’ as an umbrella term for a wide range of court administered
records. These records were usually for
minor criminal offences but the Court could also sit as Small Debts Courts,
Police Courts, Licensing Courts, Children’s Courts & Coroners Courts. Different colonies / states used named their
Courts differently & also had variations in the Court’s responsibilities
over time. Shauna used Queenland’s State
Archives to show the wide range of a court’s responsibilities & what types
of records can be found. Most State
Archives have an online guide to the court records they hold. </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10357785232740266441noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6248393307208849532.post-9194398667281416662015-04-09T12:49:00.000+10:002015-04-09T12:49:08.913+10:00#AFFHO Congress 2015 - Part 3<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Day Two of AFFHO Congress 2015<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">I missed the morning sessions on Saturday as I wasn’t
feeling very well that morning. I had
been planning on going to Pauleen Cass’ talk </span><i><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The Marriage of Local and Family History – A Bridge
to the Pas</span></i><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">t, & Paul Milner’s <i>Scotland - Maps and Gazetteers for Research</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">So my first presentation for the day was by Jenny
Joyce, <i>The UK Gazettes – A Treasure Trove
of Information for Family History.</i> Jenny
used a variety of examples from the gazettes to illustrate the range of
resources that are in the gazettes & how they can help you research
ancestors, events & the social history of an area. She also demonstrated how to access the
gazettes online.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I attended the lunchtime session, <i>Volunteering at The National Archives</i>,
by Roger Kershaw. He presented an
interesting list of the social, emotional & work-related benefits of being
a volunteer at the archives. Roger also
displayed some data that showed how many hours were spent on a project by
volunteers & compared it to how long it would have taken a paid employee to
complete the same work & how much it would have cost the archives to pay
that employee. What can be achieved by
volunteers (the whole ‘crowdsourcing’ concept) is staggering! It costs almost nothing & is done in a
fraction of the time, allowing more resources to be accessed by anyone online.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The afternoon keynote address was by Richard Reid, <i>If You Ever Go Across the Sea to Ireland:
Realities of 19<sup>th</sup> Century Ireland</i>. I have ancestors from several Irish counties. Richard really put the scope of emigration
from north-west Donegal to NSW from 1859 - 1865 into perspective. My 3<sup>rd</sup> great grandfather emigrated
from this area in 1861. The richness of
his descriptions of the conditions in Dunfanaghy & the wider area of Cloughaneely
inspired me to buy his book, <i>Farewell my Children</i>
so that I could learn more about the area specifically & emigration from
Ireland around this time in general.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Kerry Farmer’s talk was <i>Learn More from Autosomal & X-Chromosome DNA.</i> I had my DNA tested about 2 years ago but I
haven’t really been able to do anything with it so far. After listening to Kerry’s talk, I know that
if I can get my parents’ DNA tested it will help me determine where segments of
my autosomal DNA came from, & then I will be better able to determine how
Family Finder matches on Family Tree DNA are related to me by using
triangulation and phasing. The idea of
using GEDmatch to create a Lazarus kit for an untested direct ancestor is
intriguing. Again, if I’m able to test
my parent/s’ DNA, I’ll be able to use GEDmatch to its fullest potential. Unfortunately, people aren’t always comfortable ‘giving
away’ their DNA for testing. Kerry’s
book, <i>DNA for Genealogists</i>, has just
been newly revised & released, so I’m looking forward to using it & her
website to look further into my DNA results & see what else I can learn. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The final session I attended for the day was <i>Remembering and Commemorating our Ancestors </i>by
Perry McIntyre. Perry stated that family
historians & historians need to work together to construct a balanced
written history. She also showed images
of a range of memorials & discussed how & why these memorials were
erected to commemorate our ancestors & pivotal events in social history
such as the Irish Famine & the diaspora.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Day One of AFFHO Congress 2015 continued . . .<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Roger Kershaw gave the after-lunch keynote
address, <i>Tracing Free Emigrants to
Australasia</i>. His talk explained the
records held by The National Archives (TNA) in the UK relating to a variety of
government assisted schemes to encourage emigration to Australia & New
Zealand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Carol Baxter’s presentation, </span><i><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Help! Which Information is Correct? Tried-and-True Strategies
for Determining Historical Truth</span></i><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">, was so energetic & engaging. It had me thinking about primary &
secondary sources that are used in genealogy research. This concept caused a lot of confusion &
anxiety for many people who participated in UTAS’s Introduction to Family
History unit over the summer; it also sparked a lot of discussion between the
students, which was a good thing. Carol analyses
information sources in three ways: by its source, the information contained &
the evidence it gives. She categorises
sources as original, derivative or authored work; information as primary,
secondary or undetermined; & evidence as direct, indirect or negative. Something Carol said that really resonated
with me was to listen to a document’s voice when you weigh its evidence to help
you determine whether the source is primary, secondary or undetermined.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I decided
to go to Helen Smith’s presentation on <i>The
English Workhouse & its Records</i> thinking that it might give me more
insight into an ancestor’s experiences in an Irish workhouse. Part way through the presentation I
remembered that I had another ancestor who was in an English workhouse with
some of her children after her husband had left the parish to avoid debtor’s
prison. In fact, several sources state
that she died in Ticehurst Union Workhouse in Sussex in 1832. However Helen’s talk, & further research
into the Ticehurst Union Workhouse, shed doubt on this – this workhouse wasn’t built
until 1835. Helen discussed the social
& political conditions that led to the formation of union workhouses, how
people were admitted into the workhouse, what their life was like inside the
workhouse & how people could leave the workhouse. She also described what kinds of records are
available for workhouses & where to find them. Helen’s talk gave me some new avenues to
research - now I just need to formulate a research plan (or several).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I had a brilliant time at AFFHO Congress 2015 at Canberra last week.
I attended a lot of genealogy sessions, bought some books & met some
fellow geneabloggers. I got to hear some presenters that I have really
been looking forward to & I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the talks
by many other presenters who I didn't know much about before Congress, apart
from reading their interviews with the official Congress bloggers, <a href="http://geniaus.blogspot.com.au/"><span style="color: blue;">Jill Ball</span></a>, <a href="https://cassmob.wordpress.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Pauleen Cass</span></a> & <a href="http://www.shaunahicks.com.au/category/blog/"><span style="color: blue;">Shauna
Hicks</span></a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Although it was only a week ago, so much has happened since then that I
wish I had taken the time to write down my thoughts during the conference about
the different talks I attended. I stayed with my son when I was in
Canberra, & this was the first time I have been to visit him since he moved
to Canberra for university 2 years ago, so I spent as much time with him as
possible. I was also surprisingly exhausted each night during the
conference. When I got back to Sydney, the last few days of Term 1 with my
class were jam-packed, & I went to pick up my new puppy from the airport on
Good Friday. I have been living in puppy bliss since then J<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">So this blog post about the conference won't be as comprehensive as it
could have been. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Day One of AFFHO Congress 2015</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This was the first time I used my mobile phone as an alarm clock – I
have to say that it wasn’t very effective. About the only thing I
think to take with me was my own alarm, which is very persistent & loud
& will keep yelling at me for an hour straight no matter how many times I
hit snooze. I missed the Opening Address (in fact I missed all of
the morning key note addresses), which I firmly blame on iPhone’s alarm. Seriously
though, my alarm clock will probably be the first thing I pack from now on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The first presentation I attended was by Simon Fowler, <i>‘Shovelling
Out Paupers’: Researching Assisted Emigration in English Archives</i>. It
was a good introduction to the conference, as I hadn’t ever attended a
genealogy event before.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Next up was Paul Milner’s <i>Buried Treasures – What’s in the
English Parish Chest</i>. I have heard of the mystical ‘Parish
Chest’ before but to be honest, I didn’t know that it was particularly useful
or accessible, so I hadn’t really looked into it. I had seen Paul’s
book of the same name publicised a few days before through <a href="http://www.gould.com.au/"><span style="color: blue;">Gould Genealogy</span></a>’s
newsletter, but didn’t give it too much thought for the same reasons mentioned
previously. Before the talk had even finished, I was convinced that
I absolutely have to access parish chests because they are a veritable treasure
trove of information. A lot of the records have to do with providing
welfare to the poor or needy as the parish of settlement was responsible for
the welfare & old-age care of it members. Other records include:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Paul was such a casual but engaging speaker - I think I could happily
listen to him talk on almost any genealogy-related topic.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, it was a busy two months spent doing the Introduction to Family
History course (UTAS) over the Christmas holidays, but I got to learn a lot
about the experiences of teachers in early NSW (1881 - 1933). For our
third assessment task we were asked to write a research report. I decided
to research my 2<sup>nd</sup> great grandmother's teaching career. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Catherine is one of my favourite ancestors. She is the only teacher among my direct
ancestors &, being a teacher myself, this makes me identify strongly with
her. Some drop of teaching blood must
have been passed on through Catherine to me!
She is also the daughter of an Irish Famine Orphan who came to Australia
as part of the Earl Grey scheme. She
also seems to have been very close to her children; several of her children
lived with her throughout their lives, or in the second house she owned next
door to her own, & after the sudden death
of her son (my great grandfather), his widow & young son (my grandfather)
came to live with Catherine.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had three main aims:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In which areas & schools
did Catherine teach?<o:p></o:p></span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">During what time period did
she teach?<o:p></o:p></span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What was her life as a
teacher like?<o:p></o:p></span></span></li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was able to discover that Catherine Curran (nee Whitelock) started her
career in 1881 at the age of 14 ¾, when she began her training as a pupil
teacher. She also attended Hurlestone
Training School, a residential training school for women, from 1886 - 1887. She was promoted to, or ‘instructed to act’
as, Mistress of Greta Infants in 1890. She
taught at Greta Infants from 1890 – 1892, Milltown Infants (which was later renamed
South Bathurst) from 1892 – 1908, and South Goulburn Infants from 1908 – 1920. The majority of her career was spent teaching
in the Bathurst area before she was appointed to Arncliffe West Infants in 1920.
Catherine retired from teaching in 1931,
the day before her 65<sup>th</sup> birthday.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Looking through the documents in school files at State Records NSW
showed me what her life was like as a teacher / mistress of Infants. There was such a range of documents that she
filled out, from recommending whether a teacher in her Infants department
should be granted sick leave to liaising with the Department of Education about
the need for more furniture or repairs to the school.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I researched the history of education in NSW & learnt about how
teachers were trained, teacher-pupil ratios & class sizes, teacher
examinations, & the promotion system & school inspections.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was able to access digital copies of the education curriculum from
1905 – 1928, which gave me an idea of the curriculum Catherine would have
taught.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

research report. As a bonus, I have
copies of multiple documents that she hand-wrote as well as her signature.
I also now know that she was known as Kate, not Catherine.</span></div>

This idea has been prompted by a few things: the new Surname Society, an intense few days researching one-name studies and wanting to reconstruct family groups within Australia. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I considered a one-name study through <a href="http://one-name.org/" target="_blank">The Guild of One-Name Studies</a> (GOONS) earlier this year but I found the scope of the aims very overwhelming, particularly in regards to it's size, the commitment I would need to give and the amount of my time it would consume in order to do the job properly. The Guild describes a one-name, or surname, study as:</span><br />

Some ‘one-namers’ restrict their research geographically, perhaps to one country, but true one-namers collect all occurrences worldwide.</span></span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In contrast, <a href="http://surname-society.org/" target="_blank">The Surname Society</a> allows more flexibility in the surname research carried out by its members:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Surname researchers collect data relating to all name bearers, either on a global or restricted basis. Study methods are not mandated by the Society and members are encouraged to develop their own approach to the investigation of their surname to advance their knowledge and expertise in areas such as etymology, DNA, name collection and family reconstruction.</span></span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At this moment I am interested in researching my surname throughout Australia's history, beginning with NSW. I have begun by collecting births, deaths & marriage details from the <a href="http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/bdm_fh.html" target="_blank">NSW BDM Indexes</a> from 1788. I plan to research the surname in Australian censuses & electoral rolls and I'm brainstorming some other sources, such as convict records & immigration records.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So far everything I've viewed is very UK slanted, even the American / Canadian, probably because these researchers are trying to trace their chosen surname back as far as they can go. I want to limit mine to Australia, and perhaps later to Ireland / UK. Does anyone have some hints / tips / guidance for Australian resources for surname studies?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Is anyone else in the Australian genealogical community doing or thinking of doing a (limited) surname study, either with The Surname Society or on their own? I know that there are resources & help available to members of both the Surname Society and the Guild Of One-Name Studies, but maybe we need to form a network for people who are doing (or interested in doing) a study limited to Australia?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What do you think?</span><br />
