Scotland looking at separation

    We in Australia are far removed from the daily lives of our ancestors. We are generally used to hearing the dreadful repeats of NEWS and we hear little of the daily lives of any other country. Hence most people in Australia would not know of the Republic move to cut mother England off and go it alone. Sure the Torys are going to put up so many reasons not to go.

It would be good to get a very short NEWS item from time to time to keep in contact.

Maybe an idea in Australia is one day a year to wear the Tartan. The Irish certainly have St.Patricks Day and their green beer and Guinness is famous and the Parades in the Major cities. It's time for the Scots to be part of the wearing of the kilt in a parade.

Lighten up and have a Scotch buisket and a slug of Scottish Spirits. It's time for the Parade and claim the space.

what do you think?

Making conections

The more information you can give about the people you mention, the more chance there is of someone else connecting with your family.

Dates and places of births, deaths and marriages all help to place families.

Professions also help.

'My great-grandmother mother was a Douglas from Montrose' does not give many clues to follow up! But a bit of flesh on the bones makes further research possible. But if we are told who she married, what his profession was and where the children were baptised, then we can get to work.

Maybe it is time to update the information in your profile?
