Busy little Vegemite

Well, I have been a very ‘busy little Vegemite’, (as we say here in Australia), since my first post !

What I have I been up to, you may ask? Here we go:

• Joined a few Facebook Genealogy Groups.
• Downloaded my Ancestry DNA to my PC.
• Uploaded my DNA raw data to GEDmatch.com - still to go and find out if I have a few new Rellos! 
• Signed up for the #52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks challenge, via Amy Johnson Crow’s blog.
• Drafted a few of my stories into preparation to upload to this blog.

I a SO getting into researching and growing my knowledge in relation to Genealogy and DNA, and I am finding it rather exciting.

Well, I better get my ‘A into G’, as I have SO much writing, researching and preparing of my blog posts to do....see you all later! 😘

Family History bought to life!

I have been doing my McGoram - Ritchie - Rose & Scott Family tree; and Fox - Donaldson - Cassidy Family tree; for the past four years, and in earnest for the past two.

Over the years I have written many short stories, mainly to share with the younger members of the New Zealand, McGoram Family. The stories are written in a simple style, some with photographs, and it is my intention to share them via this Blog.

My sister, Isobel has been doing the Fox - Donaldson - Cassidy Family tree for many years, and has kindly shared much of the information she has obtained, with me. I am hoping, Isobel may like to provide me further information for this Blog.

In March 2018, I shall be attending a Congress on Genealogy in Sydney, and hope to learn more on how to search the backgrounds etc in my two families.
