The death of my mother-in-law in February - has meant that fair amount of time since has been spent with cousins and family out from England, enjoying the ‘Indian Summer’ at our Beach House on the Coast.

Massive Photo Upload

A huge number of photo’s have been added into the system over the last few days.

Am always looking for more - so if you have any that you could provide of family members - we would be certainly very grateful.

Lemin

Finally have gotten around to adding in the Lemin side of the family.

Cornish miners that emigrated to Australia to work the various mining booms.

The boom and bust nature of mining led to William Lemin to move his young family to Invercargill, New Zealand during World War One from Tasmania.

So if there are any other Lemin’s out there I would love to hear from you.

Kim Johnstone

Kim we have tried sending you an email to the email that we received from you - however considering you are using one of the worst web email clients that there is (hotmail) we are unsure if the message got through.

This is for you.

Hello Kim

We have no record of your earlier emails. The previous spam filter we used blocked all hotmail accounts as a rule.

Is there something in particular that causes offence? We are happy to change details if they are wrong, or if some living person is being shown when they shouldn’t. Only the deceased should be showing.

A number of Burn descendants have provided this information - all of which is in the public domain - I myself am a Burn descendant.

Gedcom File Updated

Date of Last GEDCOM Import: 14 Dec 2007 11:05:30pm

This brings in some more Oliver’s, and plenty of sourcing.

TNG

TNG has been updated to version 6.1.3.

Mainly some minor fixes and tweaks.

Nothing substantive.

Heathcote

Heathcote Bell Mark

Well finally I’ve got around to getting seriously into the Heathcote line.

I am using as my main source the book written by Evelyn D. Heathcote called “An Account of some of The Families bearing the name HEATHCOTE which have descended out of the County of Derby”. It was published in 1899 by Warren and Son of Winchester.

TNG

After a long hard winter - busy with family and Rugby - I’m back into the Genealogy work. I have updated TNG to the latest version and done some clean up work on the bridge between Joomla and TNG.

It’s working really well in the new theme that we have put in place for the Joomla framework.

The extra screen real estate has been a real positive.
