Alphabet Challenge: B is for [Family] Bible
I’ve decided to take up the challenge set by Gould Genealogy to blog about the ‘Family History Through the Alphabet’, at least for some letters.
For this challenge geneabloggers are asked to write about someone or something connected to their family history, that starts with the letter of the week. This week’s letter is B.
B is for [Family] Bible
For the letter ‘B’ I have chosen the to highlight the Bible. But not just ANY Bible, this is the Randell Family Bible.
Anzac Day Blog Challenge: He Was Proud to be Australian
When Auckland City Libraries put our the call for the Anzac Day Blog Challenge again, I just had to accept. I would like to introduce you to my Great Grandpa … Otto Rafael Winter … he was a proud Australian.
Born in Helsinki, Finland in 1880, at age 22 Otto chose to leave his family, friends and life as he knew it to become a seaman. This was not only his way of getting to see the world, but also it was the best way to escape compulsory conscription to the Russian Army.
History Meets Street Art in Adelaide
History and street art are not something that you would think would ever be on the same page, let alone sentence, yet Peter Drew has managed to combine the two into an amazing art form.
Peter’s collection of Adelaide’s Forgotten Outlaws is the most amazing street art that I’ve ever seen, and I’m so fortunate that they have been showcased in my own home town.

My Geneablogger Friends and Me at Congress 2012
The 13th Australasian Congress of Genealogy & Heraldry which was held in Adelaide over the past few days (28-31 March 2012). With regular Facebookers, Tweeters, GPlus’ers and bloggers, I had a feeling that Congress was going to have the best social media coverage of any Aussie genie event to date, and I think I was right.
As Congress attracts people from all around Australia and New Zealand, and to a smaller degree elsewhere overseas – knowing that so many geneabloggers were together in the one place was too good an opportunity to miss a photo …
Great Genealogy Books – in my opinion!
2012 is the National Year of Reading here in Australia, so I thought I’d share with you some of my great genealogy books. Yes it’s is true that I work for a genealogy store, and I am one of their best customers (*giggle*) but in this case I’ve opted to go with titles that I’ve bought elsewhere that we don’t sell at Gould Genealogy & History. So here’s snippets of five titles that I believe are great genealogy books.
My New (Business) Genealogy Cards
Well I did it! After being inspired by Kerry from ClueWagon, and Judy from Queensland Genealogy I went and got my own business I mean genealogy cards. I call them “genealogy cards”, as they are not my business cards that I hand out with my work details on it, but my details rather to me in the genealogy scene.
