It wasn't til Dad started researching his family tree and was forever digging up old newspaper articles about horse accidents. Just like cars today.<br />(My dad is in love with Ancestry.com too and Trove).<br /><br />Like your map!<br />Are you going to put all yours on it?<br />You're probably a little bit busy and preoccupied at the moment.<br />I'll be thinking of you and Kirsten tomorrow.freefallinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08863000229609701796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917748826116414599.post-34795260241222943692012-01-05T06:49:50.103+11:002012-01-05T06:49:50.103+11:00Francisca, I could find no reference to Thelma'...Francisca, I could find no reference to Thelma's progeny.

And it's not just the snapshots I'm talking about.<br /><br />PS: Funny how more and more people around Australia in public buildings are getting tetchy about allowing photos to be taken. You got to Europe and some of the largest museums are fine with photos being taken. I was disgusted that I was not allowed to take photos in Como House (a National trust property) last week. They were selling a range of 5 inadequate postcards in the shop and a historical booklet about the family that liven in the house (with no pictures of the interior).
