Yes, daunting is why I have not been active lately. It all seemed
too hard - and it is - getting the research in order.
I hope that you enjoy it, Sharon.
Gail Dodd
ps: I used the FindMyPast online format to upload a gedcom and am
just generating hard copies of the essays. All the effort will
probably be wasted if the one and only grandchild (like my kids) is
not interested.

Â
Hello DPSersI saw a WAGS newsletter that said we can be making lemons
out of lemonade with all the time now available for family
history.Â
And I'm in to it! I decided to write essays for my granddaughter
on
each of the First Families that emigrated to Australia. I had
done
that before 20 years ago but in doing the new essays and searching
online, so much more is now available. I also did a free online
refresher course, called 'Branching Out' with the State Library of
Victoria. All going well, that should be running again in
July. Here
are a couple of Mount Barker online sources I've found extra good -
though you probably know all about them!
Local Government Association of South Australia Cemetery
Search:Â Â http://mountbarker.dcw.lga.sa.gov.au/cemetery-search
[1]I
found William Dodd on this list! He arrived in South Australia in
1839 and we knew from other family members that he was buried at the
Mount Barker Cemetery. In past years we had visited twice and
contacted a lot of people (including the Local History Librarians)
but
his location was not to be found. All the online cemetery lists
didn't list him either, but the above had a remark that he appears on
a cemetery plan:Â Bingo! [I've since let some online site managers
know about this resource and I have a plan of Mount Barker Cemetery I
can send anyone, if interested].
Another great website that is new to me is LocalWiki - this one
showing Mount Barker landholders
-https://localwiki.org/adelaide-hills/Mount_Barker_-_North_Allotments
[2]
ALLOTMENT 13Â - (20405; 474/29)
FACING DRUIDS AVE
* APPLICATION 20405
* 11/9/1854Â - To Edward Tear Primitive Methodist Minister Mt
Barker;
Thomas Neate plasterer; John Renfrey farmer; Richard Champion yeoman;
William Hannaford farmer all of Mt Barker; Henry Appleton farmer of
Do
the Boys Hall near Mt Barker; John Hill farmer the Meadows, as
trustees for the Primitive Methodist Church in Mt Barker £15.
I'm not sure how dodgy Henry Appleton of Do the Boys Hall was!Â
But
Richard Champion, trustee for the Primitive Methodist Church church
was an ancestor and using the website above give his other
land-dealings, and that he went bankrupt.Of course all the convict
sites for Tasmania are fantastic and searching is so much easier
these
days. And in old age, you can zoom to look at the screen for
better
reading. I'm driving my husband up the wall again talking
constantly
about his ancestors, but it's fun for me! I hope that you're
having
finds with your research too!Gail Dodd

Hi everyone.
Once I get my gardening in order, I plan to hit the files with Gusto.
Finally might actually get around to putting all my research into
some form of digital program.
30yrs of it.
22 very full Lever & Arch files!
DAUNTING isnât it. ð¤ª
Recommendations of preferred programs appreciated.
Gail, Mandurah
