The Colonial Secretary and following governments created many records useful to descendants researching the convicts, marines, and settlers. MyHeritage has made their 303 Australian collections free to view over the Australia Day long weekend. www.myheritage.com/research/cat...
As a child Australia Day was a fun celebration of the arrival of the First Fleet in Port Jackson on the 26 Jan 1788. Now a day of mixed feelings, acknowledging this as the start of colonisation. It is now and was then Gadigal land, whose people had been living there for tens of thousands of years.
Checking a few more records, Charles James Christmas was from Knutsford when he married Mary Ann Bayley of Macclesfield
My grandmother's paternal aunt Mary Caroline King (1858-1944) married Robert Christmas in Sydney in 1883. www.ancestry.com.au/sharing/2861...
Ah, Usenet...
and in some places on the planet they could not be named in the 20th century even if present.
G'day Debbie, I'm enjoying starting a fresh and only following genies and so far, more easily avoiding contentious issues
What about a possible christening record for bubs #2?

Thanks Laurel. Not every place has Census records available, that got it started for me. :-)
A chat for an hour with other genies on line at the same time every week.
Inheriting my grandmother's photographs last century, deepened my interest in #FamilyHistory Eventually I created two free #genealogy checklist templates. 1. includes a wide range of records for Au, Ire, NZ, UK & USA

Many on my Australian side going back to the first fleet (arr. 1788) last one arrived 1836. And a couple on my Essex born English fathers side back in the 1840’s.
Very difficult social values, crime punishments varied tremendously. Pickpocketing went from minor to transportation for life over about thirty years
Ditto
Food, the second rule of genealogy!

Remembrance Day is commemorated in Australia and New Zealand by a minutes silence at 11am on the 11 November. Lest We Forget #familyhistory #genealogy
Wow that's a lot of newsletters. Do you have sub headings or themes? Does your committee allow education opportunities from other sources apart from your own society?
As much as I like threads to embroider with, the digital service just didn't cut it. :-)
