Thank you! You too!

Wow, what a start to his life. 14 is so, so young to be sent to the other side of the world, let alone serve to out your sentence there. Along with probably never seeing ''home" again. But obviously he was tough, and made it through, and as a result your family is here. Welcome to the wonderful world of family history. You will find many amazing stories along the way.

@@GouldAu I haven't been able to peace it together properly yet but it seems he returned to England despite a supposed life sentence. Guess he got his sentence dropped. He then married a Scottish woman and moved back to Australia. This could be a different person at this stage. Gotta do more digging.

I agree, there are lots of amazing stories in this book. And you can just pick it up and read one now and then. It doesn't have to be a cover to cover read. But it is certainly a great record of the early homicides in the colony.

Yes, I've seen it happen. Too much FH info and their eyes glaze over, and lose interest. I find small tid-bits works better.

Ancestry is certainly useful as far as records go , as are numerous other sites, but we are a little different in that we are a retail genealogy store, selling products to help you with your genealogy. We're just a small family business that's been around for 40+ years. You can check out of website of over 8000 items at www.gould.com.au.

It is a really neat way to show off your old pics.

Yes, it would be going back to 4x great grandparents if you start from yourself in the middle.

@@GouldAu Most people I’ve ever heard when people count generations they don’t count themselves they count their parents as one generation and then they Count from there.

Jason, when you fill in a pedigree chart the starting person (be it yourself or whoever you choose) is always Gen 1, and you count back from there. The same goes with these charts.

Thanks for watching though, and for the feedback. Sorry about the background noise. It was filmed at out shop, and while we try to do it when things are quiet, it doesn't always work out that way. So we'll be more mindful of the background noise in future.

Yes, it sure is!

Yes it is. There's a lot of great advice and ideas to help you through the process.

Thanks so much for your kind words Roy

It's certainly a great reference book for everyone with an interest in history, and putting things into context.

It is a fabulous book isn't it. But t-shirt? I don't know about any t-shirt.

My pleasure Wendy. We are all looking forward to our little break, and hoping to get time to do a little family tree research during it.

Thankyou Roy. Sending you wishes for a happy and healthy Christmas and 2022.

It really is fascinating. Lots of events and things mentioned that I didn't know when they happened, so it really does help put things into context.
