TheBanyanTree: Family matters

[Janice Money]

Thanks Kitty.  And Pam.  But I don't think I've been tenacious.  It's been
more like the occasional surfacing of a bit of curiosity combined with easy
access to the internet on which there are some very good, and free, online
databases.  

One good thing about doing such research is that it's given me an interest
in the history of the time when Australia was being colonised.  That has
made me much more aware of how fortunate I am to have been born in the
mid-20th century and of how bad "the good old days" really were for so many
people.

Janice

I commend you for your tenacity!  I, too, have little knowledge about my
ancestors.  As a young person, I could have, should have asked, but I was
not curious.  And there were no stories told about the "early days". 
Perhaps there was nothing to tell.

Once my parents died and my children grew to adults, my daughter asked about
her grandparents and their families.  When I could tell her nothing, she
expressed an interest in doing a search as you're doing.  I hope she's as
successful (and tenacious) as you've become.
