Good news about Laurie, eh peeps? Thanks for the advice Vonny, am sitting patiently ... waiting waiting, for the piles of Hot Matches coming my way ?? .. I am starting to plough through the million Cook names (I have two different families) .. no luck yet. Pam, how careless of them to spell your name wrong!! .. pmsl. .. Nothing like a genie meeting to get you back to your family history again. .. I have fits and starts. .. I hit brick walls about 20 years ago .. very few have opened since then. .. Although Laurie & I have only known each other for 2 or so years. Wonder where our Lara is .. packing packing .. one thought in mind 'On the road again, dah dah dah de dah dahdedum' or 'King of the road' .. pmsl Jood

Laurie just got home from taking Josh to Wangarratta, So glad about your arm but there is down side you realise you won't be getting rid of the tuck shop arms and won' t have the opportunity to have the other one done to even you up darn eh, no seriously just all good news Baileys to celebrate to night, I' ll raise my glass at 7:30 toward my putor you do the same and well clink ok . Trifley can you please ask Mark when he is home when he puts his laptop into hibernate how does he do it and the how does he stop it please as this has to be what is happening to mine as I'm not getting any message to say it was closed down the wrong way or anything after it does it shuts itself off I mean tell him not a putor whizz can he tell in Kiss language please Rebs not long now girl got your exit organised if they get out of hand, omg pmsl seeing you trying to keep control would love to be fly on the wall Joodles just wait and see did you put any query's on the Trying to Find board that's where I got my results within the first 24hrs. of being a member . Glad to hear you are a bit better the energy will come ack just dont overdo when feeling a little better and un do the good work Sue Devily ,Tony so true what you said agree entirely I have nothing against gays live and let live I say , but 3 and 4 years old children do not need this info let them be children , they grow up fast enough its too much for them to understand and they would just switch off anyway so just because this lady who has a daughter who came home and said most familys have a mummy and a daddy let her then say well ours is a different sort of family we have two mummies that's is all that is necessary , then those children who are not affected need not be bothered hearing about alternitives ok had my say that's it . Hello to all and talk tomorrow have to go and sleep find driving very stressfull and it brings on a sleep attack with the narcolepsy love Lara

Jill you are soo right about incorrect transcription. I had to take my ggfathers death certificate in to Rookwood Cemetery here in NSW, and show them the spelling of the christian name (which they had incorrect) - they now have adjusted it. .. It was something like 'Andrew' and should have been 'Anslem' They kept saying he wasn't buried there. .. I'd actually seen his grave some 20 yrs before. Jood

My little story with the transcripbers is a good one too . . . Rays gtgrandparent have the surname Pervis . . . yet that name only appears on two census - I have tracked them from 1841 thru to 1891, the most interesting mistranscription of the name being Pervin (Can now call Ray a pervin titman). . . must admit though I was well and truely chuffed with myself for finding them given the odds. Very low cloud over the bay - I can just see the airport lights through blurry eyes. One thing about the rain - the clouds keep the temp up a bit, its cool - but no heating on yet! Catchya later luv Laurie

Ooooh Laurie ..... what does Ray think about being a pervin titman .. pmsl . I am showing my tree to you .. can you see it??? <ps .. watch out for the lurking cat peeps .... shhhhhhhhh!!!> Jood

Yyaaahooo for Joodles . . . well done . . . you have a tree !!! luv Laurie (forgot GR wont let you type y a h o o silly me)

Jood, do you know what I did, In my mind I tried to do the accents of my rellies that had moved from one county to another, I probably have the advantage because I come from the UK, but try it , think that county's accent, and you can come up with different types of spellings, Tony can probably help with the ock can oras, and then there's the be jesers so when they spoke with the enumarator/er it all went fonetik, ah begora me dharlin, Jill. ps have had a wine here son came home with good news

HELP! Brissie meet question. Is the Casino the one in Queen Street - the old Treasury building? Cause if it is, we are actually staying on that side of the river. If so, it might be better if we just dump the car at the Medina apartments in Ivory Lane and wander down. We could meet you lot at Blackjacks. Lew Lew

Yep Lew - thats the one, good plan - You wont have far to get lost at all !!! luv Laurie
