Dear FamilyTreeCircle Members,- This link is to a website full of thousands of links to other websites. So many that I shall not even bother trying to mention here. Suffice to say it's absolutely brilliant if you are tracing ancestors/descendants in these regions.

FREE Databases on Australia, NZ and Pacifica

Allycat, Qld, Australia.

An interesting read on prospectors looking for gold downunder. Heaps of good stories.

Gold Net Australia

Allycat.

Dear FamilyTreeCircle Members, this information will be particularly vital to those just new to genealogy.

This website describes when Census records were taken in England and Wales, how it was recorded, what it contained, etc. plus links to other genealogical tips in general:-

Dear FamilyTreeCircle Members, Hi. A warm welcome to all the new users out there.

If your computer is anything like mine, your Bookmarks toolbar folder will be full of all the favourite websites relating to genealogy. Instead of chokking up your PC, share with everyone your favourite websites. Just update your Profile on FamilyTreeCircles, and cut and paste the links in. That way if ever your computers chuck a wobbly (as they do LOL), you won't lose all your favourite websites that could take you ages to find again.

In addition, let us know where you are from in this big wide world of ours.

Who are you researching? Write a journal. And add all your surnames you are researching at the one time by entering them in the Bulk Surname Registration spot.

Happy hunting as they say.

Allycat, Queensland, Australia.

Dear FamilyTreeCircle Members,

A gentle reminder to those who need it ... It is considered bad etiquette to post full dates of birth/marriage/addresses on the living with or without their permission. It also raises the possibility of identity fraud.

And for goodness sakes please don't tell everybody where you live!

Likewise you will avoid spamming if you don't display your email address here, that's what the 'personal messaging system' is for.

Please read the following data at this site for more information:-

If Miss Manners did Genealogy

Kind regards,
Alison

Update: It would be appreciated if journals were written in proper sentence case of upper and lower styles instead of fully blocked upper case as this denotes 'screaming'. Save the caps lock for surnames so that they stand out. Thank you.

Also, can we please have subject headings for new journals pertinent and to the point. Example, 'Looking for SMITH and CARTER from Pennsylvannia' instead of trying to have one's life story in the topic heading and nothing in the journal body.

..7 Word Obituary..

A woman from the deepest, most southern part of Alabama goes into the local newspaper office to see that the obituary for her recently deceased husband is written. The obit editor informs her that the fee for the obituary is 50 cents a word.

She pauses, reflects and then says, "Well, then, let it read, 'Billy Bob died'."

Amused at the woman's thrift, the editor says, "Sorry ma'am, there is a 7 word minimum on all obituaries."

Only a little flustered, she thinks things over and in a few seconds says, "In that case, let it read, 'Billy Bob died - 1983 Pick-up for sale.'"

Now there are two free ways to search the England and Wales Birth, Marriage and Death Indexes, 1837-1983
