24.01.2022 Gee I haven't posted for a while so here you go! I've finally after all these years started researching my father's side of the family. I hope my Dad would approve.

23.01.2022 It's almost the new year! Most modern countries use the Gregorian calendar to trace the passage of time. But it wasn't always that way. Here's when each country adopted the Gregorian calendarand why it matters for researchers.

15.01.2022 More from my Father's diary in WW1 September 1st 1918. 1.30 pm. this patrol is fearful. We have been surrounded 100 yards behind enemy front line. Have had a s...olid hours fighting. Everyone is wounded, self included, only a little one through the arm. 2.15 am. still fighting hard. I am afraid we shall never get out of this lot. Out of our party of 20, 14 are now dead. Just got our Lewis gun working so have a good chance of getting out now and cutting our way through to our own lines. 4.30 am. arrived back at our lines in time to hear we were going over the top at 6 am. 6 am. under way. The enemy is resisting terribly. They are the best fighters we have struck. 7 am. Casualties are fearful. The Division on our right is suffering heavily. As they are getting wounded, they are falling into the swamps and drowning. 8 am. held up by machine gun fire and bombs. 8.55 am. just finished an hours bombing. Casualties are increasing every minute. We are now up against it and right in front of a big brick wall which is infested with machine guns. At last it has happened. My mate and I were sitting in a shallow trench and a 5.9 shell fell in beside us and wounded us both. I was carried out to the dressing station and from there to a field ambulance ( 5 kilos ) by four Fritz prisoners. From here we went in a motor ambulance to Dauors where we were dressed. 8.pm. loaded aboard the hospital train for Rouen. See more

06.01.2022 Isn't this interesting? According to this, very few people in the world are entitled to display a family coat of arms. My husband, I believe, would be one of the few.
04.01.2022 Somebody help or all those Geelong records are inaccessible.
04.01.2022 An incredible man, James Salter Armstrong.
03.01.2022 While on our annual camping trip to Cobram this week, I did a spot of family tree research. Looking for John Armstrong aka George Salter.
03.01.2022 The old home is now cut in half and ready to be transported to a new location. I remember it as it was in the 1960's.
02.01.2022 Lest we forget. James Salter Armstrong, 21st Batt, Pioneer, Gallipoli and Western Front.
01.01.2022 Looking for a gardener, probably from Geelong, who worked there in 1889. Needle, haystack.
