I parked the car a few streets away before lunch today and wandered off, admiring the beautiful homes and gardens. A man walking his grandchild told me about a wetlands walk at the bottom of the hill, so I meandered along this most delightful path. (I admit I didn't take this pic as I had forgotten to take my camera with me, so borrowed this one from the web.) All this in Sydney's biggest city, and just a stone's throw from home. Wonderful.
Now I need to get on with Ancestry.com. It's absolutely mind-boggling finding I have relatives all over the world, with their email addresses right there! Last night I emailed a previously unknown family member in Israel and am waiting for her reply. No convicts apparently. My ancestors on both sides all seem to have come from England in the late 1800s. Children out of wedlock very common.

I have stopped looking at Ancestry.com as I cannot find anything interesting about my long lost family. They did not seem to move more than a few miles for generations on my paternal side and on my mother's side they came over from Ireland and stuck firmly in Yorkshire. One long ago uncle and his wife had 8 children and when she died he married her sister and had another 7 !!! All my ancestors were poor - so nothing's changed there then xx
