Oh well, one more for the road.... me- meep!

Hello Katitude, nice to meet you! :)
June, the family history is fun, and I've picked up a couple of useful facts in the last few days, though my family really isn't very interested ... c'est la vie! (trans. "It's life, Jim, but not as we know it")
Well, I'm not easily bored, and that's great for going through pages of dull facts, looking for the one shining moment that warrents sashaying round the house, chanting like a madwoman while waving the relevant printout triumphantly over my head. (My family does not react to this in any way) Just because hubby's family can be traced back to the 15th century - sheepstealers and murderers the pack of them! On the run from the King and the sheriff and had to change their name - what's to be proud of there, I ask you? ;)

OOPS...IT IS TOO LATE TO SAY GOOD MORNING....
Glad to see you were game enough to return Kat...
Commendable job on the names Cyn...very impressive!

Hello Bean! How goes it?

Hi Katitude!!! Nice to meet you!! & enjoy your time here!!

Phooey, again with the turn the page thing.. der...!!!


Thanks Judy, nice to meet you too.

Yeah Bean, I'm not sure about being game enough!! However, I'm strapped in for the ride and I'm yellin' Woo Hoo..!!

Heidi: Good luck with the meeting tomorrow, TTFN!!!

Judy: That is so cool that you are doing your family ancestry, I'd love to do mine, but not sure where to start, any suggestions??

Hey Suzanne, thanks, I'm very much looking forward to it.

Kat: this is very, vey habit forming!!!

LOL, tell me about it. Lucky I'm on holidays, otherwise I would have to quit...!!
refresh, refresh.....
can it fix my brain...!!!

Tell me about it!! In October, my brain turns 48!! YIKES!!!!!!

It's just a number Suzanne. Young at heart is what counts. and maybe the brain freezes can shave a couple of extra years off for us.!!

Kat: All we can do is HOPE, right?? Seriously, I got asked for ID on my 40th when I was buying a drink!!

Lucky you, I would have kissed 'em.. I do that, I go and buy beer for hubby and say to them, you need my id, right????

That's funny Kat. Going to sign off for tonite!! Take care, nice meeting you & chatting, see you online soon!!
TTFN eveyone!

Good Evening, Friends! I hope you are all well. It looks like I have 4 or 5 pages to read.

Suzanne, the standard advice is - start with what you know about your family. Check documents, birth, marriage and death cetificates. Official documents are more likely to lead you in the right direction, though even they may ontain mistakes. It's a bit like playing detective.
Dare I say, never trust "family stories' - they may be true, or may contain a shred of truth, but often they're garbled, confused or just plain made-up! On the other hand, they may be the absolute truth! One of our family stories said an ancestor was "Physician to the King of Denmark" - yeah, right! Well, he was - documented and proven! Whoo-hoo! Once you start looking you'll be hooked, I guarantee. :D

Thanks for the chat Suzanne, catch you next time.

Hi Julie.

Judy - I have just started the family tree thing myself. Between that and my new found addiction/hobby on this thing, I'm sure I'll be divorced real soon..!!

Katitude - add it to the Tree! (Make sure you get the certificate!) ;)

Suzanne - I hope you come back and read this tomorrow. You are in the right place to trace family history. The church of the LDS people in SLC had the best geneological database in the world when I was helping Mum. Particularly US records. Look into that. Surely it is still operating.

Well good people, I'll bid you a fond farewell for now, still got a bit of stuff to organise for the trip.
Take care, catch you soon.

Ciao Kathi - I'm off too. Some shopping to do.

I am taking a coffee break and read that you are all saying goodbye. Bugger!

Family talk says I have at least one bushranger and French royalty in my back ground - opposite sides of the family! It would be nice to confirm or otherwise, but not at the mo, maybe after my prac....

Just beginning to read posts from today! Hi and Welcome, Katitude/Kathi! We're glad you have found us and we really don't bite (much)!

I have done a quick skim of pages, but am falling asleep (past midnight) and can't remember . . . a thing.

Hubby has been working about 3 years on his family (his father's side). In the past few days, we may have found a previously unknown connection, which we will need to research further. Unfortunately, hubby's Dad was first generation in US, and records in Europe have been lost over the years due to wars.

A number of years ago, one of my aunts got quite far back on my Mom's side of the family. Her grandson has continued work on it. A sister and I had hoped to get together with him and share what information we have, but we just haven't found the time.

Really must run now. Good night, Everyone!

fellow SA8ers

Aimee, wonderful to see you here, I hope you come back and post often.

Kathi, told you it was addictive!

Evening all!
Not here, and nor are any of you by the look of it!

nup...I'm not here Suzy

gotta go out and fill the car with petrol and I keep putting it off...almost time to watch 'The Cook & the Chef'...really enjoy the banter between Maggie and Simon. Much more entertaining than pottering about in my kitchen!!

Me too! Was just telling Suzy about my cooking show addiction. Then SBS for Food Safari...better actually go and do that food flinging thingy I suppose!
Catch you all after the shows.

Opps looks like I missed you all.
Good Day SA8, hope is all well.
Well got the most of the stuff off my puter that I need, the rest will have to go....Hey! Bean? easier than sorting out boxes of stuff, bet you have stuff to sort before Missy VIP arrive!
Went to the quack today, more blood tests will know the results next week sometime...they have no idea!

Catch y'all later.

oii...Possum....a little originality wouldn't go astray or doesn't Broni give you a chance...LOL
[How on earth did you do this Broni?]
Broni one of the boxes has a very LARGE amount of travellers cheques in it...haven't seen them since I cancelled my trip to Honkers a few years back! Found my passport but have since mislaid it!! Dispensed with another 2 today....

We'll get to it Bean, never fear.

Bean will you still be able to cash those travellers cheques? I've never used them so don't know if they have an expiry date, if not then you have a nice little windfall to spend on yourself.

Good morning all! Very sore from moving things around yesterday but still no room to put the girls' stuff. I don't want it blocking any of my stuff like it did last year.

It's supposed to be a beautiful day today, up to 70F! I'll be lugging 10 boxes of clothes I packed up for charity yesterday. At least they'll be out of the house. Ian's old stuff has to go over as well, but I won't have the strength to do it today.

Evening all!
I'm still not here. Just stressing out over kids and stuff so thought I'd drop in.

Stella, feel better! Noice warm bath with Radox/mineral bath salts.

Bean, YOU CAN DO IT!

Broni/possum - very clever...
