Hello,
I have recently been nominated to be the news letter editor of our local genealogical society. My predecessor has forwarded to me a link to your blog and suggested that I ask permission to re-post your 25 golden rules. Naturally attribution goes to you with a link.
I am very new to this and have not produced my first news letter at this point. Thank you in advance for your time.

Hi Alona, I just discovered your blog and website and thought you and your readers may enjoy a new song and video produced for my Gibson Family reunion this past June. I have never been a great journal keeper but have recently started sharing my family history through music. You can listen and watch at https://youtu.be/Qs-PCd5zUXQ. Though written for my grandparents the message is universal. Best wishes, Mike Gibson (mikegibsonmusic.com).

Hello Alona,
I have been having trouble viewing my Data CD’s on my new computer. Is there some product i need to purchase to be able to view the SA Registration CD’s I bought some years ago?
I can use the BISA [Bi-Centennial Index of South Australians], but have not been able to use the SA Births, or Deaths.
Hoping you can help me please??
I am placing this query on your ‘Contact me’ page, in case other people are having the same problem,
Cheers Christine Hunt

Hi Christine, the BISA uses Adobe Reader to read it, so there won’t be any issue with that, but the Digger disks were created to use on software that no longer exists, so hence that’s why they aren’ useable on newer computers. In saying that I have heard of people with Win 10, and they use a software emulator to make their computer think that it’s a Win XP, and that works. So either Google to see what software emulators there are, or ask any computer techie person you know. I’ll admit I haven’t tried that myself, as I keep an old laptop with Win XP for that purpose.
Hi Alona,
Many thanks for your information, I will have to try that idea.
cheerio,
Christine Hunt
