More rain.......

It's been a very wet long weekend, lots and lots of rain, not just here but over areas that have still been in the grip of the drought.
It's also been a busy weekend for me, we celebrated my 60th birthday (a week early) with family and friends.......we had a lovely lunch on Sunday, my son and daughter in law came all the way from Perth to surprise me.......it was lovely to catch up with them............

Just back from a Rotary gig in Halls Gap, 2 days of training for the in-coming Presidents, plus a fait bit of rest and relaxation......
On the family history front, things are ticking over nicely. Our Dennis cousins keep coming up with tantilising 'pages' from the past and the Saunders reunion is shaping up quite well.
And so it goes...............

It's raining at last.................

We've had quite a bit of rain but still very muggy....................

Wednesday again......

It's been a while, still plugging away at the family stuff, we now have 7 Dennis cousins in an email circle with descendants of Ethel Rosie (2), Ernest James (2), Harry Harold , Frederick George & Lydia Ann, all children of Henry Dennis & Fanny Higgins. Amazing stuff!
Weather here quite humid, still waiting for some decent rain.....

Wednesday Words

Day after Australia Day (spent relaxing by the pool), following up more Dennis doings, this time Dorothy Lyla, daughter of Ernest James Dennis & Lucinda Bird. Seems she went to South Australia to live with 2 of her Bird aunts...............Dotty died in Adelaide SA in 1919 aged 19! Waiting on her death certificate in the hope that it gives up a few clues.......

Friday Family Update

Family business going very well, in particular with the Dennis mob. Have re-established contact with Peter Dennis, who is descendant from Ernest James Dennis's first family. I sent him 2 photos of EJ, never thinking that they would be the first photos he had ever seen of his gr.grandfather!!

Family Doings

Here it is, Sunday evening, weather damp and cold (good old Ballarat summer) but it is a welcome relief from the very recent heat!

Lot's doing on the family front.............the Saunders reunion, the Dennis mob, Jane Scott and her mysterious family, etc etc etc!

Happy New Year

It's been a while, have been very slack with the blog but quite busy discovering a few new cousins, one through Jane Scott and the other through the Dennis's........very exciting........
