<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">This would have to be one of the easiest
topics today as I am catching up with my #52Ancestors <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">I recently visited Germany where my father immigrated
from in 1953. I’ve started recording his story and you can check it out by
clicking <a href="https://expertsingenealogy.blogspot.com/2016/10/how-young-man-from-war-torn-germany.html">HERE</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">My father’s family still live in Germany, he
has two living brothers there and a sister who immigrated to Canada, the same
year that he left Germany.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">I’ve seen a lot of photos from his brothers
and sisters over the years but not a lot of pictures of his parents, my grandparents, Lucia Ida
Marie Hegenbarth and Josef Hans Zapf. There were always two large pictures of
his parents on the dressing table that was located in my parent’s bedroom of
the last two houses that they lived in.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">As I hadn’t met my German grandparents, this
was all I had to go by for the first seventeen years of my life. Even when I
first visited Germany in the 1970s, they had passed away in the 1950s and I got to visit their grave site in 1975 in the Bamberg Cemetery, Bamberg, Germany. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

with me any photos, memorabilia, documents, etc. I had been lax with my
communications with some of my relatives and Wanda was one of them. But she was
really generous and came and collected me from Bamberg when we were staying for
two days driving me to her home, 26 kms from Bamberg. <o:p></o:p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Once we arrived, we caught up on the time gap
that had occurred. But it didn’t really feel like it had been in excess of 45
years since we last saw each other. Then we got down to the business of my
visit. She bought out a pile of documents and pictures. I was very excited and
thrilled to see what she had for me.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">I gasped with surprise at what was there. It
was a cornucopia of several generations of both my grandparent’s families. I
was in heaven. But there was a lot to go through, so I had to start
photographing the pictures immediately as we had to be back in Bamberg by 7 o’clock
at the latest that night for dinner. I was thinking that this was going to be a
much bigger task then I had expected. I was right!!!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Here is my FAVORITE photo of all the pictures
that Wanda shared with me:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

my eldest surviving uncle and his wife celebrated their 65</span><sup>th</sup><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> Wedding
Anniversary. When we arrived at their home, the night before the celebration, there
was a column of photos on the wall in their living area with some old ancestral
pictures. Amongst them was a cropped version of the above photo. I had never
seen either version of the wedding photo, so I was really excited to see that
there were several versions of this photo distributed throughout the family.</span></p>

refer to the ancestral roots or the place of origin of a particular individual,
family, or ancestral line. It involves tracing the geographical and cultural
beginnings of your ancestors, understanding where they came from, and exploring
the factors that influenced their migration or settlement.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">What do we mean when we start talking about <i>"Origins"</i>
in family history and genealogy? It's about digging into the roots, the
hometowns, and the early days of our ancestors. Think of it as stepping into a
time machine and travelling back to the time of your family’s beginning. It's
like being a history detective for your own family, unlocking the stories of
where you all began. I believe it makes them feel more alive to you when you discover your <i>“Origins”.</i><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEwysjLwzo77yPhjzeEQTivDLu6Uw5KEhtR37ybwGVFj9laYqgcKg5Gj1J_29mH7Jf3Aa45Ht1gqm2UsGBtoTCOe1GgP21sH0m_rbHW6t5-V3gpOVYhBQspjcxk4moC6rj3ESTSGVI-XgFjQbxlpYFtcDeCWZ83ButKIZw1PGLWMYaV67koNBShlhhK7o/s2000/ORIGINS.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="2000" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEwysjLwzo77yPhjzeEQTivDLu6Uw5KEhtR37ybwGVFj9laYqgcKg5Gj1J_29mH7Jf3Aa45Ht1gqm2UsGBtoTCOe1GgP21sH0m_rbHW6t5-V3gpOVYhBQspjcxk4moC6rj3ESTSGVI-XgFjQbxlpYFtcDeCWZ83ButKIZw1PGLWMYaV67koNBShlhhK7o/s320/ORIGINS.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Here are some key aspects of <i>"Origins"</i> that I have used in discovering my family

<p class="MsoNormal">In the tapestry of family histories, there's often a thread
of connection to greatness—a touch of what we fondly term "folklore."
It's the kind of tale passed through generations, a captivating story that
becomes part of the fabric of our lineage. My family, like many others, boasts
such a tale—a remarkable connection to a famous figure, in this case, Sir Robert
Gordon Menzies the 12<sup>th</sup> and longest serving Australian Prime
Minister, who over two terms in office was in the role for 18yrs). This story
has been handed down, generation to generation, an enticing narrative that
captured our collective imagination.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">
</p><p class="MsoNormal">Jane Sampson, born in 1822 in Perranuthnoe, Cornwall,
ENGLAND. Described as a stern yet loving mother, she stood alongside her
husband, Joseph Harry, the patriarch of a burgeoning family. Their journey led
them from Cornwall to Australia in 1849, a tale marked by eleven children,
including their first son, James, whose life sadly started and ended in
Cornwall.<o:p></o:p></p></div></span><div><br /><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, "Bitstream Charter", serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"><br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqQl4xUGYYgE8_qrA1c6XHFGp2mb85CHHFjA7e6V6ckI511aczmPGeVN48-hWps7YQk0JjVWA8RLkP49YsVfijOjvm_jeeaF5yxeX4wcEmLlCk0DsHuuEtuPd9vUcovAZp_67UL1zpH2no_JjT8gX33KNKxX0wo6tRiL2ee2fl-yZn_WrMPCapXj9R/s2295/Joseph%20Harry&Jane%20Sampson%20MC.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1622" data-original-width="2295" height="274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqQl4xUGYYgE8_qrA1c6XHFGp2mb85CHHFjA7e6V6ckI511aczmPGeVN48-hWps7YQk0JjVWA8RLkP49YsVfijOjvm_jeeaF5yxeX4wcEmLlCk0DsHuuEtuPd9vUcovAZp_67UL1zpH2no_JjT8gX33KNKxX0wo6tRiL2ee2fl-yZn_WrMPCapXj9R/w388-h274/Joseph%20Harry&Jane%20Sampson%20MC.jpg" width="388" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: verdana;">MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE JANE SAMPSON TO JOSEPH HARRY</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><p class="MsoNormal">The story, perpetuated through the years, found its roots
with John Sampson Harry, who passed it down to his son Wes Harry. Wes
documented it in a family history, shared with our cousin Peter R., whose
distribution to the descendants of Joseph Harry Jnr in the 1980s cemented its
place in our family lore. The captivating narrative proclaimed that Jane’s
brother, John Sampson, was none other than the grandfather of Robert Gordon
Menzies—a claim that left us awe-struck. We were kin to a Prime Minister of Australia!
I spent years of immersing myself in the history of Menzies, to find the
connection that had been claimed.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Doubts continued to linger. A persistent question gnawed at
the edges of my understanding—why was Jane Sampson not recorded as John
Sampson's sister in Menzies family archives? The geographical distance, with
John Sampson’s father in Penzance and Jane living in Perranuthnoe, Cornwall,
added another layer of confusion.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">
</p><p class="MsoNormal">Peter R., armed with curiosity and a thirst for truth ordered
Jane and Joseph Harry’s wedding certificate—which revealed Jane’s father as

back to Jane Sampson’s sister, Elizabeth Sampson. This revelation, coupled with
a check of the 1841 UK Census, placed Jane and Elizabeth side by side in
Perranuthnoe, Cornwall, ENGLAND. The family's acceptance of the Menzies
connection, may have been fuelled by a perceived resemblance, was
understandable yet rooted in a tale of distant relatives rather than direct
siblings. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This story, however, remains incomplete. The Sampson family
may indeed share distant ties with Sir Robert Gordon Menzies, but the intricate
details of this connection remain unexplored and is on my bucket list.<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFvnxLfW9-N2T2zNtas6ELuqFXaR_tJyc0rAw0ngGrnhy5rJDIBXm8afGsykXjBnEjVG0raR-aHTUVEkiSUzoYhhvni4k7vjbuxv3x45OLvdEa4bqAJb8rNM_Jvy0Q3N-zRVDRjD3gcRmzte7Fc5J6PhnBGNzDV48a_pfe1D_QZ9RGTcY-eSXBQ9c9Ffw/s1080/Robert%20Gordon%20Menzies.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFvnxLfW9-N2T2zNtas6ELuqFXaR_tJyc0rAw0ngGrnhy5rJDIBXm8afGsykXjBnEjVG0raR-aHTUVEkiSUzoYhhvni4k7vjbuxv3x45OLvdEa4bqAJb8rNM_Jvy0Q3N-zRVDRjD3gcRmzte7Fc5J6PhnBGNzDV48a_pfe1D_QZ9RGTcY-eSXBQ9c9Ffw/s320/Robert%20Gordon%20Menzies.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">ROBERT GORDON MENZIES</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><b style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></b></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJTJ_q7hwXO7wSdXkj6Kw5jqQr9YBuAMkbfYb_8RtUZiN5XkXYig_Tk316oHzKwFIRJMI8ylujgmIHkxniQsQX5McU6BU70BLP_jhyphenhyphenCc8Fq_xp1BjCY-8KFIPPeWgNNBBR8wZwBA2UDTnIIkdlGNCK-Rkj-TmHRMDCxxap_sizuHTjDxesEVqvATwV8QY/s1888/HARRY,%20JOSEPH%20ENHANCED.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1888" data-original-width="1152" height="516" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJTJ_q7hwXO7wSdXkj6Kw5jqQr9YBuAMkbfYb_8RtUZiN5XkXYig_Tk316oHzKwFIRJMI8ylujgmIHkxniQsQX5McU6BU70BLP_jhyphenhyphenCc8Fq_xp1BjCY-8KFIPPeWgNNBBR8wZwBA2UDTnIIkdlGNCK-Rkj-TmHRMDCxxap_sizuHTjDxesEVqvATwV8QY/w315-h516/HARRY,%20JOSEPH%20ENHANCED.jpg" width="315" /></a></div> </span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #666666;">JOSEPH HARRY (SON OF JANE SAMPSON)</span></b></div><b><br /></b></span><p></p></div><p class="MsoNormal">As the quest for truth continues, the Menzies mystery

The <b>genealogical certificate</b> (Abstammungsurkunde) was a 'civil status' document made under German law. It was created to prove the birth of a child and it differed (ever so slightly) from a actual Birth Certificate.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
It's main purpose (of the genealogical certificate) was to determine marriage bans with adopted children. This became just another example of excess paperwork, and the genealogical certificate was abolished in Germany on the 1 January, 2009 by the 'Civil Status Law Reform Act'.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
So. Genealogical certificates were issued up until the 31 December, 2008 by the civil registry office that had certified the birth. Contained on the certificate, amongst other things, was the name of the child, the child's sex, date of birth, place of birth, and the parents' names. Also contained on the certificate were any changes listed that may have occurred since the birth of the child, for example, the adoption of the child and/or any name changes.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Genealogical certificates were a bonus, as it was those documents that actually reflected the descent of a person. A requirement for marriages was a genealogical certificate, as it only it showed who the biological parents were. Birth Certificates only show the legal parents, which in adoption whould name only, the adoptive parents.Since 1 January, 2009, a "certified register printout of birth registration" is required upon marriage, which also contains information about the birth parents. This differs from the birth certificate as discussed..</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The biological fatherhood of the alleged biological father is not assured when printed in the aforementioned genealogical certificate or "certified register of birth."</div>

He was involved in the work of the construction of the largest oil refinery. The Kwinana Refinery, operated by BP, is located on the shore of Cockburn Sound at Kwinana, near Fremantle, Western Australia. It was constructed by the then Anglo-Iranian Oil Company and completed in 1955. It is the largest oil refinery in Australia, with a capacity of 138,000 barrels per day (source: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwinana_Oil_Refinery" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>).</span><br />

Then in January 1955 we find that he is working for the Public Works Department in Broome, Western Australia. It's here where Arno is told that to get his electrical qualifications, his best option is to go to Victoria, where the lisencing will give him the ability to use his lisence in other states of Australia. Since his best friend Theo Kello is now living in Melbourne, he boards a ship and arrives in Melbourne in August of 1955. Living at 13 Princess Terrace, St Kilda, Victoria.<br /><br />In Part Four, I will cover the final chapter of Arno's life and we will finally get to find how a young man from war-torn Germany, found his Utopia on the other side of the world.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I first became aware of the Three Young Men from Charters Towers, whilst doing research </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">(2002-2015) on Samuel William HARRY whose life was detailed in 2015. You may read Samuel's story </span><a href="http://bit.ly/2oAZ7OQ" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">here</a><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">. Hugh Quinn the second (who had <a href="http://www.gallipoli.gov.au/anzac-battlefield-sites-walk/site-10-quinns-post.php" target="_blank">Quinns Post</a> named after him) had his story told <a href="http://bit.ly/2kaPEiZ" target="_blank">here</a>...these two men were mates in Charters Towers, Queensland. They had many common interests too. But, there was also a third young man, whose name was John Francis Walsh.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the main reasons for doing John's story last, was that I truly believed that it would be difficult to tell his story. But, I was so, so wrong.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="zone">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A painful sensation was caused in Cairns on Wednesday when it was known that the late Area Ofiicer of this district had been killed in action at the Dardanelles. The keenest regret was everywhere expressed, and many tributes to the deceased officers worth were heard on all sides. Speaking on the subject, Lieutenant N. P. Draper said, <i>"Walsh was undoubtedly the smartest' officer in the Kennedy Regiment. He was always enthusiastic, and a power of strength to any of the officers who had the pleasure of serving with him. On the late expedition to New Guinea he proved his theoretical </i></span><i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">knowledge in actual practice. His ever cheerful nature and constant anxiety. for the comfort of his men gained him the respect of all ranks."</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">John Francis Walsh was just over twenty-five years of age, having been born on the 1st. February, 1890. His first commission was dated 22nd February 1909, as 2nd. Lieutenant, and as Lieutenant on, the 8th May, 1911. He became Captain on 22nd. April 1912, at the creditably early age of twenty-two. He sailed for Egypt among, the Second Contingent, with the rank of Lieutenant, under which he is referred to in the official cas-ualty list. His inclustion in this Fifth Division at the Dardenalles proves that that Division is not exclusively composed of First Contingent men.</span></div>
<div class="zone">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In private life the late Captain Walsh enjoyed the esteem of all who knew. him. He won his way by merit, not by bluster. In addition to his military duties he was an active participant in the social amenities of. Cairns, and his Work in connection with St. Monica's Amateur Dramatic Society will long be remembered. He was a member of a well-known Charters Towers family, and was engaged to a highly-respected Cairns young lady. To all the bereaved, relatives the most earnest sympathy is extended.</span></div>
<div class="zone">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This, so far as is known, is the first Cairns casualty in actual warfare. We must face the fact that it </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">will not be.the last.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A Requiem Mass will be held at St.. Monica's on Saturday morning.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

Back in the 1950's and 60's it became commonplace with the development of the quarter acre blocks of homes being developed. Every 5th of November families would gather around for the spectacular effects of the fireworks.<br />
<br />
We used to have pinwheels shooting from the fence, roman wheels, penny bangers making lots of noise and smoke...it was fun. Regulations regarding fireworks is a state issue. It got banned by most states in Australia in the 1980's by the governments of the country because too many people were getting injured by the fireworks. Currently, the only states to allow fireworks are the Northern Territory and Tasmania.<br />

Fireworks in London 1952<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But where did this all originate from and why did it remain such a tradition for families?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It became known as the <b>Gunpowder Plot of 1605</b>. But in earlier centuries it was often called the Gunpowder Treason Plot or even the Jesuit Treason. It came about as a failed assassination attempt against King James I of England and VI of Scotland. The group responsible for this failed attack were provincial English Catholics led by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Catesby" target="_blank">Robert Catesby</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The group of plotters first met on the 20th May 1604. Robert Catesby was joined by some friends, Thomas Wintour, Jack Wright and Thomas Percy. They met at the Duck and Drake, located in the Strand. A fifth person was <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes" target="_blank">Guy Fawkes</a></b>. Fawkes was from York but he had been recruited by the group from Flanders, He had relevant experience, having already served in the Spanish army.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A plan was hatched to blow up Parliament House in Westminster and to this end they leased a small house located in the centre of Westminster, where Fawkes was placed as a caretaker, using the alias of John Johnson.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Parliament had been postponed to not sit again until the 5th November 1605. In the meantime, the group had increased to a total of ten. Robert Keyes, Robert Wintour, John Grant and Kit Wright were all related to the original members and one other was a servant of Catesby, Thomas Bates who was a very loyal servant and equally passionate to be involved.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In the March of 1605, the group proceeded to take out a lease of a ground floor cellar, which was located near the house they had rented earlier. The cellar was positioned directly underneath the House of Lord. They gradually moved in 36 barrels of gunpowder, which was enough to blow up everything in its vicinity, should it be ignited.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Guy Fawkes was rallying for support and went back to Flanders, where he was spotted by English spies, who reported his dealings. A link was eventually made between Fawkes and Catesby. Still, more plotters were recruited, Ambrose Rookwood, Francis Tresham and Sir Everard Digby. The last two were of means and owned a large number of horses, which the plotters required to acquire for the plot to succeed.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The whole point of the uprising was to bring Elizabeth, daughter of King James I of England and VI of Scotland in as a puppet queen, to give the Catholics in England more empathy and religious tolerance. Which they felt had vanished during the reign of King James.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The plot was 'leaked' to the government via an anonymous letter on October 26th 1605. During a thorough search of the House of Lords, around midnight on the 4th November 1605, Guy Fawkes was caught 'red-handed' guarding the 36 barrels of gunpowder and he was arrested. Others tried to flee from London as they became aware of the arrest of Fawkes. They were captured, Catesby was shot and killed along with another, during an altercation with the Sheriff of Worcester. Eight of the surviving plotters were tried on the 27th January 1606. All were convicted to be <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanged,_drawn_and_quartered" target="_blank">hanged, drawn and quartered.</a></div>

Following the thwarting of the plot, Londoners were encouraged to celebrate the King's escape from assassination, by lighting bonfires and this tradition continues today.</div>

<br />
Continuing the story of Arno Josef Zapf born 3rd July 1932 in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Staffelstein" target="_blank">Staffelstein</a>, Bavaria, Germany. See here for <a href="http://how%20a%20young%20man%20from%20war-torn%20germany%20found%20his%20utopia%20on%20the%20other%20side%20of%20the%20world/" target="_blank">Part One</a>, if you missed it or just want to refresh your memory.<br />
<br />
Arno applied to the Australian Government for the opportunity to emigrate. To do so he had to commit to the Australian Government for two years work. He freely admitted that he had never heard of Australia and didn't even know where it was...He thought he was going to <b><i>America</i></b>...<br />
<br />
The fares of the migrants were paid for by the Australian and West German Governments with assistance from the inter-governmental committee of the immigration scheme from Europe. This scheme was backed by 22 nations of the world, including Australia and it operated from its headquarters in Geneva.<br />
<br />
As part of the conditions, he undertook to regularly attend the nearest free night class made available by the Australian Government for the purpose of providing migrants with instruction in the English language.<br />

He also had to supply referees in relation to the work he had been engaged in. There is a notation in black that indicates he was working in <i>"house construction work"</i>. Given the post-war building boom that was occurring in Australia at this time, It always surprised me that they didn't accept his recent qualifications as an Electrician. The reason why he left his work is also noted as "Arbeitslos" or in English, "Unemployed". Jobs had become harder to find, Arno and his sister Brigitte were both unable to work in Germany. Brigitte also emigrated, to Canada, she currently lives in Montreal.</div>

Once this report had been received, Arno was then referred to have a chest x-ray to check for tuberculosis or TB as it was often referred to. A local doctor also assessed him for general health issues too. Arno then had to wait for the "stamp of approval" to be accepted, to come to Australia. Once it arrived, it wasn't long before he was ready to leave his home, his siblings and his parents, his family support network.<br />

Arno boarded the Fairsea in Bremerhaven on the 18th September 1953, it travelled through the Suez Canal, where Arno traded his traditional German Hat for a leather satchel, featuring the Pyramids of Egypt. Which remains in the family today. The ship docked in Naples, Italy. By this time there were 1,890 passengers on board. Like most cruises of today, there were daily newsletters shared</div>

The ship landed in Fremantle, Western Australia on 18th October, where Arno disembarked. <br />

It's nine years today since my father passed away. This is his story.<br />
<br />
Arno Josef Zapf was born on the 3rd July 1932 in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Staffelstein" target="_blank">Staffelstein</a>, Bavaria, Germany.<br />

The fourth of seven children born to Lucia Hagenbarth and Hans Josef Zapf. He was a bright child, but world war two was about to change all of their lives. The family lived in the beautiful medieval town of Bamberg, with its gorgeous cobblestoned roads. Right in the middle of Bamberg, above the Bakery in Gruner Markt.<br />
<br />
(<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamberg" target="_blank">Bamberg</a> is a World Heritage Site, nominated by UNESCO in 1993. The city follows the early Medieval street plans, being laid out in the form of a cross with a church at each of the four points.)<br />

It must have been extremely cramped. But, Arno never complained about that aspect of his childhood, except when the word 'Polenta' was mentioned, then he would tell us now much he hated it! Food was always a scarcity as Arno grew, his mother would spend all days in her kitchen, which was part of their living quarters. On Shrove Tuesday, Lucia would spend the day grating a huge pot of potato to make Kartoffelpuffers (Potato Fritters). These were shallow-fried and had flour and egg added to the grated potato. Arno would then ensure that he won the competition, which was to eat the most number of Kartoffelpuffers, ending up always, with a sore stomach.<br />

Bamberg was hit by bombing from the allied forces during 1945 in the dying stages of world war two. It was during this time when the US Troops were stationed in Bamberg that Arno was paid by the soldiers to assist them to remove the dead bodies from the damaged buildings. During one of our walks in 1975, Arno showed me the buildings. Here is some rare footage (no sound) of the attack on the town of Bamberg on 15 April 1945.<br />

Arno left school after eight years and started an apprenticeship as a hairdresser, which he didn't like at all. He then became an apprenticed electrician in Bamberg (Firma, Deubert 1946 - 1950) and (Firma, Tempel 1951-1953) working in House construction. But, this was now post-war Germany and once Arno finished his apprenticeship he became unemployed...it was a tough time. He made a decision, he was going to emigrate to America. So he started to explore this as a possibility. </div>

Where was Arno going to end up and was he (as his mother's favourite child) really going to leave the country of his birth? Come back for <a href="http://bit.ly/2dDHmwn" target="_blank">part two</a> to see if he really did find his 'Utopia' on the other side of the world.<br />

Well, here are mine, taken from over twenty years of research using the internet. Do you agree, or do you have your own favourites that you constantly refer back too?<br />
<br />
Note these are in no particular order. Also, this is by no means a conclusive list, as there are far too many to list here...for all the best sites to see, visit <a href="http://www.cyndislist.com/" target="_blank">Cyndi's List</a>.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://ancestry.com/">Ancestry.com</a> - I've been a member since they started. Since I use Family Tree Maker 2014 (and have done since FTM V2 1994), I now use the shakey leaves for clues, then go and prove the connections. I am particularly enamoured with the <a href="http://dna.ancestry.com/" target="_blank">DNA</a> service since I had mine done whilst I was attending RootsTech2014. This has opened many more possibilities and is an exciting tool, even if I don't fully understand it all - yet!!!<br />

However, on the other hand, there have been some subsets of records that now have their own pages, to explore. <a href="http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/BTHOnline/WebForms/IndexNameSearch.aspx" target="_blank">Bringing Them Home - Name Index</a> which is a list of index entries that point to Government records for Indigenous in the Northern Territory (1911 - 1978) and Victoria (approx 1860 - 1970).

Many Australians have links with 'Australian Royalty' CONVICTS. Once kept hidden within families at all costs, I've seen a complete switch in attitude, through the length of my research, with people now wishing them had a convict in their family. Tasmania is rich in convict history. The site that has made that research less difficult is <a href="https://www.linc.tas.gov.au/family-history/Pages/default.aspx" target="_blank">LINC</a> with the <a href="https://linctas.ent.sirsidynix.net.au/client/en_AU/names/?" target="_blank">Tasmanian Name Index</a> with a list of resources too numerous to mention here.

PHOTO CHALLENGE ON SOCIAL MEDIA </h2>
<h3>
TELL YOUR OWN STORY TOO...HAVE YOU DIGITISED YOUR OWN PHOTOS?</h3>
<br />
Five days ago I was challenged through social media to share photos of myself. They had to be more than 15 years old. Well, that really was a challenge as ALL my physical photos are in storage and I haven't been able to scan them. What little I have in digital form are not yet fifteen years old. So it really was a challenge and one that I believed at the time couldn't be completed. How wrong I was...<br />
<br />
As I searched through my computer, I realised that I really needed to get my digital images sorted. How many of us have images scattered all over the place? This happens easily and before you know where you are, you have lost (maybe, temporarily at least) the ability to locate these images, when you require them. If you don't know where to begin, here are some ideal tips that will assist you to get started: <a href="http://www.rideau-info.com/photos/storage.html" target="_blank">Storing & Archiving Digital Photos</a><br />
<br />
Anyway, I was having trouble finding pictures, that were more than 15 years old...finally, I found one, it was in the tribute that I put together for my father's funeral nearly nine years ago. It was the only christening photo that exists of me. Why? You may well ask. Well, it turns out that Dad had his camera, full of photos of the happy event, he placed the camera down on a sideboard in my Grandmother's house. Someone came along and took it...seriously, how could someone do that??? But the sad truth is that they did and it meant that all but one photo, taken by my Godfather survives to this day.<br />

So, day one was done but was I going to make it to day two and beyond...I started searching...here is what I found...after searching through the PC to locate any picture images...lucky I had scanned a heap of photos in a concentrated effort after a Family Reunion several years ago.</div>
<br />
Day Two: Was a picture taken out the front of 25 Hunter Street, Richmond, Victoria, with my Aunt Dianne Watson nee Harry. The same place as the first photo, but taken on a different angle and a few years later, before my Aunt married. The beautiful cottage in the background was bulldozed over ten years ago and it is now the site of a modern architectural wonder. It was a toss up between that photo and the photo of me as a flower girl in my Aunt's Wedding picture. Here they both are...<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This was beginning to be a bit of fun...it it truly made me realise that I need to sort my digital images sooner, rather than later. So I started to find photos of me. Do you or have you, started to tell your story? If you are like me, you've started to tell your family's story...but what about you??? The best person to tell your story is YOU...start now, get it done. It will be one of the hardest stories you tell. But you can tell it on your terms, how you remember it. That is the best!</div>

Moving onto day three, by this time I'd found so many pictures to share, I had a tough time deciding how to do it..and what to share...but once I found this picture, I knew I had to share it...</div>

This was taken on my seventh birthday, we lived in Bessie Street, South Oakleigh, Victoria at the time. The party was after school and attending the party was my BFF Lyn McCullogh, myself, my brother Karl (Dec'd) and a neighbour whose name was Deborah (can't remember her family name, she moved to Canberra, shortly after) her mum had forgotten about the party, so she came in her school uniform. We had fun and one gift I was given was a colour picture, autographed (printed) of the Beatles. I was in heaven...sadly the picture went missing later that year when we moved to Carrum, Victoria.</div>

Well, it was now time to move on, to colour photos...once I found this, I knew it was 'next'. Taken ten years after the last photo that I shared. I was now in form six (year 12) doing HSC (Higher School Certificate) and shortly after this was taken, was living in Germany. Life was exciting and I had the opportunity presented to me to stay in Germany to live and work there. (I am a dual citizen by birth) But, I was torn, finally deciding to come back to Australia and begin my working life. So I started working at the State Bank Victoria as a clerk/teller.</div>

Just after I started working in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Bank_of_Victoria" target="_blank">State Bank Victoria</a>, I met my partner. I used to attend Square Dancing Nights, which kept me fit. Doing the four brackets of dances, as they were called meant that I was super energised. We both enjoyed Square Dancing and began to attend conventions, wearing matching outfits...it was a lovely time shared. We got engaged and married within twelve months of meeting, actually, it was eleven months, but who's counting? This day arrived with dark clouds hanging overhead. But just after this photo was taken, the sun shone through as I entered the church. As money was tight, well when hasn't it been, I picked up this gorgeous bridal gown, from Katies Bridal Boutique in Melbourne, CBD. It cost $50 (which was one-tenth of the average Bridal Gown of the day). I put it on Lay-by (which is how many items were paid off before credit cards became the norm) as it was the last one of it's kind and it fitted like it had been custom made for me. </div>

Well, that is a very shortened version of my first twenty years. I have lots of work to do and paperwork and photographs to follow up with. I've included some links to help get you started.</div>

<br />
8th July 1927 - 9th August 1986<br />
<br />
Keith as he was known to all his friends and family, (except of course to his father, he was always addressed as Thomas) was born to George Robert Tellesson and Ethel May Speechley on the 8th of July 1927 in Ashfield, New South Wales. He was the middle son, of the three boys born to George & Ethel.<br />
<br />

<br />
His life was typical of the period, until the day his uncle Tom married in the front room of the modest house at 173 Avoca Street, Randwick, New South Wales. At the same time, elsewhere in the house George Robert Tellesson, (Keith's father) died after suffering a cerebral haemorrhage [stroke] & arteriosclerosis [hardening of medium and large arteries].<br />
<br />
Life was a bit of a struggle for the family after this, but the other family members stepped up and assisted Ethel with raising the three boys.<br />
<br />
Keith went on to study medicine at Sydney University and graduated in the early 1950's along with his brother Bill and eventual sister-in-law Patricia Svenson.<br />
<br />
Getting engaged in 1950 to Nancy Luchetti, life couldn't have been better! They went on to have three sons and one daughter.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Moving to Cohuna, Keith bought a part of a medical practice and the family went about their business. Eventually, they moved on to Midura. Sadly they split and both Keith and Nancy remarried, Nancy moved to Kangaroo Island with her second husband, Les Giddings. Keith moved to Leopold, near Geelong on the Bellarine Peninsula, with his second wife. He took up running and competed in the famous Melbourne Marathon, from Frankston to Melbourne. When he wasn't working in his General Practice, he was often found Nordic Skiing up in the mountains around Mount Hotham.<br />

Sadly he didn't make it back one day, thirty years ago. He was killed on Mount Feathertop, 9th August 1986. He is missed and most certainly never forgotten.</div>

<div>
<span style="color: #070707; font-family: "bitter" , "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="line-height: 26px;">Now...for the curious...why have I asked those questions???</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #070707; font-family: "bitter" , "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="line-height: 26px;">I'm not 100% certain of who George's parents are.

<span style="color: #070707; font-family: "bitter" , "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="line-height: 26px;">In regards to the question of whether or not he had a brother called Thomas - George's first son named George Robert Australia TELLESSON. Thomas TELLESSON is believed to have come to Australia prior to the birth of George Robert Australia TELLESSON. Note: the 'Australia' part of his name has never been noted in any further documents.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #070707; font-family: "bitter" , "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="line-height: 26px;">I have found a Thomas TELLESON who appears in the records of marriages, births and deaths.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I first became aware of Quinn's Post whilst doing research on Samuel William HARRY whose life was detailed last year. You may read Samuel's story <a href="http://bit.ly/2oAZ7OQ" target="_blank">here</a>. Samuel William Harry and Hugh Quinn were boyhood friends...pals in Charters Towers, Queensland. They had many common interests too. This is the story of Major Hugh Quinn - the man behind Quinn's Post Gallipoli</span>.<br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">He started out in his working life by taking up a position in Messrs. Cummins and Campbell's office and worked himself up to head clerk. He became a prominent athlete and proved himself one of the best amateur boxers in North Queensland. He was full of energy, perseverance and initiative, a manly man, and had a host of admirers among the Charters Towers youth. </span></div>

When volunteers were called for service in the Pacific, he was amongst them, and on the return of the Kanowna to Townsville, he, with others of North Queensland's best, offered for services abroad and was eagerly accepted. </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 15pt; text-indent: 1.5pt;">Anyone who knew Hughie personally would expect him to answer the call of the country and Empire, as soon as he was relieved from the garrison duty on Thursday </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 15pt; text-indent: 1.5pt;">Inland he was off. </span></div>

That he displayed the ability</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 15pt; text-indent: 1.5pt;"> to lead men and had the courage of the true soldier is evidenced by his rapid promotion on the field to the rank of major.</span></div>

He was a worthy son of a fighting race, the traditions of which, as his letters to his mother show, he was proud of the opportunity to uphold. Irlsh-Australians in reading these letters, so full of total devotion, will rejoice in his deeds, and cherish his memory. As he was promoted to the rank of major on the battlefield had he lived would have won much higher distinctions. </span></div>

The sympathy of all went out to his relatives, particularly to his mother, who at the present time is visiting another </span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 15pt; text-indent: 1.5pt;">son in Southern Queensland. </span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 15pt; text-indent: 1.5pt;">Staff-Sergeant Major Blake had the trying duty of conveying the sad news to the uncle and aunt, </span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 15pt; text-indent: 1.5pt;">Mr and Mrs. Archie Irwin, </span><a href="http://www.royalprivate-hotel.com/about_us" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 15pt; text-indent: 1.5pt;" target="_blank">Reefer's Arms Hotel</a><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 15pt; text-indent: 1.5pt;">.

<span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">would have given greater proof of the undoubted ability he possessed as a leader of men. He certainly gave great promise of attaining to high place in military life. He was a popular as well as a capable officer and the loss of such men as Hughie Quinn becomes a distinct loss to the Empire, All who came in contact with Hughie as a boy and a man fully appreciated his worth.</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

Visting the <a href="http://www.spiritofanzac.gov.au/" target="_blank">Spirit of Anzac</a> in February 2016 I was shocked when I came upon an artifact retreived from Quinn's Post. It was a Corrugated Iron Trench Cover (Quinn's Post). The description was as follows: Although this corrugated iron cover was overlaid with a layer of earth and sandbags, it was peppered with shrapnel and gunshot holes after the position was subjected to intense fire.</span></span></h4>

<span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Every <b>ANZAC Day</b> there would be a ceremony held at the State School I attended. I would hear about Simpson and his Donkey and his gallant efforts to rescue the wounded soldiers fighting on the narrow peninsula, then known as the <b>Dardanelles</b>. (From, Wikipedia…The Dardanelles, formerly known as Hellespont, is a narrow strait in northwestern Turkey connecting the Aegean Sea to the Sea of Marmara. It is one of the Turkish Straits, along with its counterpart, the Bosporus.) I always felt I had a connection…but to my knowledge, as a 7/8 yr old, I didn’t know of any family member, nor extended family member who had fought at Gallipoli.</span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Then in my early 20’s a cousin printed up a family history of the HARRY family. In that, there was mention of a Samuel William Harry who had died in Gallipoli…I was hooked. I had to find out EVERYTHING about Samuel William HARRY, who was my first cousin 4Xremoved. This is what Peter Reid wrote in the Harry Family History: “Samuel is known to have come to Australia from Cornwall, England and settled in Queensland, where his descendants still reside. A son of Samuel’s, Captain Samuel William HARRY, was killed in action in the First World War.” It was not a lot to go on, but it was all I had at the time and it was going to be many years until I unraveled the whole story, this is what I discovered.</div>

Samuel William HARRY was the youngest child of eight from Samuel William HARRY & Sarah Hannah PORRITT. He was born in Pennsylvania, USA on Thursday 09 Feb 1882. Samuel William HARRY Snr, was a miner, as a skilled miner he traveled the world along with his family seeking work during the 19th Century, hence the children were born in England, Ireland and the USA. The family appears in the UK Census of 1851, 1861, 1871 and the US Census of 1880, before Samuel William HARRY jnr was born.</div>

According to Wikipedia – During August and September 1914, Kanowna was requisitioned by the Australian military to transport 1,000 soldiers to German New Guinea as part of the Australian Naval and Military Expeditionary Force. Sailing late from Townsville on 8 August, however, the ship was forced to anchor off Thursday Island until 16 August, and did not arrive off Port Moresby until 6 September. The expeditionary force sailed the next day for Rabaul, but Kanowna fell behind the rest of the convoy, with the ship’s master signalling to HMAS Sydney that his crew had mutinied: the boiler stokers and firemen had stopped work. In Arthur Jose’s Royal Australian Navy-focused volume of the Official History of Australia in the War of 1914–1918, he claims that the mutiny was because these men refused to leave Australian waters, but Tom Frame and Kevin Baker state in ‘Mutiny!’ that this is incorrect; the troopship was on short rations of food and water because of the delays sailing north and only minimal resupply in Port Moresby, but the stokers and firemen were requesting more water to remain hydrated in the hot boiler rooms and to wash off coal grime and refused to work until this demand was met. The workers were taken into the custody of a party of soldiers, and the force’s commander ordered Kanowna to return to Townsville, with soldiers volunteering to keep the ship running. The Australian Commonwealth Naval Board conducted an inquiry into the mutiny, even though as a civilian vessel, Kanowna technically wasn’t under their jurisdiction. The state of the supplies was seen as a major contributing factor to the sailors’ actions. Kanowna was returned to her owners on 21 September 1915.

Not a lot is known upon the arrival at ANZAC Cove, but a description of the last sighting of Samuel William Harry is here…Three parties of the 15th Battalion had pushed forward from Quinn’s Post (beginning at about 10:45pm, 9th May) and seized disconnected sections of the Turkish trench 30 yards in front. They attempted to reverse the parapet of this trench, but discovered that it was composed mainly of rotting bodies covered with soil. Meanwhile Turks poured into the gaps between each of the parties, and it became difficult for the Commander, Colonel J.H. Cannan, in Quinn’s Post, to keep touch with the progress of the attack:</div>

‘Although gallant men continually risked their lives to ensure that headquarters should be kept fully informed, the intelligence which reached Cannan was disconnected and fragmentary. Eventually, Captain Harry, acting adjutant of the 15th, volunteered to bring news of each party. After reporting that all was well with the left and right, he again went forward to find Frank Armstrong of the centre party. He reached the trench, but was never seen again.’ (Bean V2 106) (Chataway p.42).<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well right from the geck-ko, that heading doesn't seem right...but when you have children home for the holidays and they are already sick of watching repeats (DVD's or TV), it's too cold to go outside or they are just plain 'bored'. Here is an ideal activity for them to do, or join in on doing with you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now, we all know that the kids know more about the computers and software than we do, right?!?! So what better idea than to give them a challenge/activity, whatever you want to call it and see who does the best chart!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">J Paul Hawthorne, from California, US started it all on facebook the other week with his excel chart of #MyColorfulAncestry, that looked just like the Australian Tennis Open Draw (see below).</span><br />

<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
Why is it that people think that you can <i>finish</i> your family tree?</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
What does a finished family tree look like?</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<ul style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<li>Do you want to publish a book? </li>
<li>Do you just write it up on a chart? </li>
<li>Does it get put away, never to be looked at again?</li>
<li>Do you find as many people as you can on Ancestry.com in 12 months & then call it quits?</li>
<li>Do you fill in as many 'blanks' in a software program?</li>
<li>I've gotten back to my 3xGreat-grandfather, so I'm finished?</li>
</ul>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<br />
Well, I've got to tell you something...I'm not finished. Now into my 46th year of research, I don't even feel like I've scratched the surface. I've got lots of names, dates, pictures, newspaper articles and other details & information - but I don't feel like I'm anywhere near finished. Just ask hubby, he's waiting for his family history (in a written form) & feels "jibbed" that he hasn't seen anything yet. Yet, I've discussed his family many, many times over all the years that we've been together (39yrs). </div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">

DIVORCE IN THE 19TH CENTURY</h2>
<h4>
DIVORCE - 1896 Leonard Shelford BIDWELL vs Susannah BIDWELL nee WARBURTON</h4>
<div>
I didn't know a lot about my 2 X great grandfather or great grandmother. But after a few years I became curious and started searching for information. Now remember, this was way before the internet and in libraries and research rooms, it wasn't a simple 'push' of the button to find this information. So I hunted and hunted and eventually found a Divorce Index, which I curiously looked at. I had no idea, that they had divorced. In fact, it wasn't that common for people to divorce, one of the reasons given, was because of the expense involved. So I needed to investigate more about the Divorce of the Bidwells. But I couldn't discover any more information other than the Divorce Index. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<br />
The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrimonial_Causes_Act_1857" target="_blank">Matrimonial Causes Act of 1857</a> in England gave men the opportunity to divorce their wife if the wife had committed adultery. The downside to this was that any children of the marriage became the property of the husband. Thus, the mother could be prevented from having any contact with her children.<br />
<br />
Eventually, I came across this article on the Trove website:<br />

<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">This was a petition by Leonard Shelford<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Bidwell, of Malmsbury, miner, for a divorce<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>from his wife, Susanna Bidwell on the grounds<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>of desertion and adultery. Mr. Kenny appeared for the petitioner. Evidence was given by petitioner that the parties were married at Kyneton on 30th November, 1873, and in 1883 settled down at Malmsbury. Four children were born of the marriage. In October, 1886, husband and wife quarrelled over the visit of a man who used to call on the latter during petitioners absence. They continued to live in the same house, but he ceased to cohabit with her from that time. In 1893 she gave birth to a child, which he said was not his. In May, 1893, she left him without cause, and went to live at Diamond Hill, Bendigo. He did not go after her. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Between 1888 and the date of desertion she used to leave<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>home for two and three weeks at a time. She visited Kyneton and Melbourne, but would not tell him where she stayed. She finally left home without telling him she was going. Mr. Justice Hood said he thought it clear there was no evidence of adultery, and there was not sufficient evidence of any desertion contrary to the husband's wish. He utterly disbelieved the husband's story. Petitioner said he suspected his wife of misconduct with some man, but he continued to live in the same house with her, though he suspected her sufficiently<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>he refrain from cohabiting with her. Even<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>after the birth of the child, which he said was<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>not his.

<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">I SHALL assume that readers are acquainted with the nature</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> and principle of the instrument.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> The most important part of it is the cylinder. This, in</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> my phonograph, is a hollow brass casting, 4 1/2 inches long</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> and 4 1/2 inches in diameter. It is mounted upon an iron</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> spindle, 3/4 inch in diameter and 16 inches long, at one end</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> of which is a winch handle. Upon that part of the spindle</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> which lies between the handle and the cylinder a screw is</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> cut, having eight threads to the inch. The other end of</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> the spindle is left plain. The cylinder having been turned</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> perfectly true, a screw is cut upon its surface of exactly the</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; margin-bottom: 0.7em; margin-top: 0.3em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">same pitch as the screw upon the spindle — i.e., eight threads</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> to the inch. Tbe depth of the spiral groove thus formed is</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> 1-16 inch, and its breadth is 1-16 inch. It is better to cut</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> it square, and not V -shaped. Two brass bearings for the</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> spindle are made of the following dimensions— length, 2 1/2</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> inches ; thickness, 1 1/2 inch ; height, 1 1/2 inch. One of these</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> has an inside screw corresponding to the screw upon the</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> spindle. Each bearing has two holes for screwing it to the </span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">support, as may be seen in Fig 1. which is engraved from a</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> photograph of the instrument.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> The cylinder, spindle, and bearings being completed, ten</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> pieces of wood must be prepared as follows : —</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> A is 12 inches x 9 1/2 inches x 1 1/2 inch.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">B is 3 inches x 3 inches x 1 1/2 inch.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> C is similar to B.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> D is 5 1/2 inches x 5 1/2 inches x 1/2 inch, and has a circular</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> hole, 2 1/2 inches in diameter, cut in its centre.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> E is similar to D.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> F is 5 1/2 inches x 5 1/2 inches x 1/2 inch, and has a hole, 1 inch</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> in diameter, in its centre.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> G is 5 1/2 inches x 2 1/2 inches x 1/2 inch.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">H is similar to G.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> I is 8 inches x 2 1/2 inches x 1/2 inch.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> K is similar to I.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> B and C are the upright supports for the bearings, one of</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> them being shown in Fig. 1. The position of the others is</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> indicated by the letters corresponding to them in Figs. 2</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">and 3.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> The uprights B and C are fixed near to the ends of the</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> baseboard, A, by means of 2 1/2 inch screws. D and F are</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> screwed together (see Fig. 1.), and the two are then fixed</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> perpendicularly upon G. G is joined to I by a pair of</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> hinges. The two ends of I are screwed to the baseboard,</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> but the holes in I are 1/2in. larger in diameter than the screws</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> which pass throuh them. The heads of the screws are</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> effectively enlarged by iron washers 3/4 in. in outside diameter.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> The object in this arrangement is to allow a certain amount</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> of play in the board, I, for purposes of adjustment. When</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> properly adjusted the screws may be tightened, and the</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> board firmly fixed in position. E is attached perpendicularly</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> to H, and made right with two small triangular pieces,</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> which are not shown in any figure. H is hinged to K, and</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> K is fixed to the base in exactly the same manner as I.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; margin-bottom: 0.7em; margin-top: 0.3em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Through the middle of I is passed a brass-screw bolt, the</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> square head of which is fixed in I. The screw goes through</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> an elongated hole in G, and is fitted with a round milled </span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> brass nut. It is well to place a washer under the nut.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Screw-bolts of this description are used for fixing the</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> expanding bodies of ordinary photographic cameras, and</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> may be had of any optician. H and K are fitted with a</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">similar bolt. Two rather stiff pieces of steel spring are</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> attached to the ends of I, and extend for a little distance</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> underneath G. These springs tend to separate G</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">and I, or rather to cause G to turn backwards, </span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> like the lid of a box when opened. One of the</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> springs may be seen in Fig. 1. The nut, of course, works</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> against the springs. When the nut is screwed up tight G</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> and I approach, and may be made almost to touch each</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> other. When the nut is loosened the spring causes G to</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">rise. Very delicate adjustment is thus rendered possible.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> H and K are fitted with similar springs for a similar</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> purpose.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> We come now to the diaphragms and points. The</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> diaphragm which receives the voice is fixed over the circular</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> hole in D, as shown in Fig. 2. It consists of a circular</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> plate of very thin iron 4 inches in diameter. Ferrotype</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> plate will answer the purpose very well, but thin charcoal</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">iron is better. It is, however, possible to have the iron too</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; margin-bottom: 0.7em; margin-top: 0.3em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">thin. I should say that about two-thirds the thickness of</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> an ordinary ferrotype plate is the best. The point is made</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> from a knitting-needle about 1-20th of an inch in diameter,</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> which must be very hard — one which can be bent is of no </span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">use. The original point had better be broken off, and a</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> new one ground upon an oilstone. For this purpose the</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> needle is held at an angle of about 30 degrees with the</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> stone, and is constantly turned round. The point, having</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> been made tolerably sharp, is polished and cut off with a</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> file. The part so cut off is 3-16ths of an inch long.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> This has now to be attached perpendicularly, to the centre</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> of the diaphragm, and the method of doing so is as follow : —</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> The diaphragm is laid upon a sheet of glass, and a little</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> spot in its centre— about 1/2 in. in diameter — is scraped clean</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> with a knife. This must be done carefully and gently, or</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> a bulge will be produced. The fragment of knitting-needle</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> is then taken up with pliers, and its blunt end, having been</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> moistened with soldering fluid, is held above the flame of a</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> spirit-lamp, and touched with a piece of tinfoil. With a</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> little manipulation a small bead or globule of tin may thus</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> be made to adhere to the end. The scraped spot on the</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> diaphragm is now moistened with soldering fluid, and the</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> diaphragm is supported at some distance above a small spirit</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> flame. The ring of a retort stand forms a convenient</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> support. The butt end of the point, with tin globule</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> attached, is then applied to the scraped spot with pliers. In</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> a few seconds the globule melts, when the lamp is instantly</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> removed, and the point manipulated with the pliers, so as to</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> be perfectly upright when the tin hardens, which will take</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> place in a few seconds more. The point will then be found</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> to be firmly attached. The diaphragm and point must,</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> after this operation, be thoroughly washed with soap and</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> water, and slightly oiled — otherwise they will rust.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> The only precaution to be observed is to apply no</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> more heat than is just necessary for melting the tin.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Too much heat will warp the disc and, if it is a ferrotype,</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> blister the japan. The soldiering fluid consists of equal</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> parts of hydrochloric acid and water, in which is dissolved</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> as much zinc as possible. A pile of books will be found</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> useful for steadying the arm while manipulating the point.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> The diaphragm is fixed in its place by means of a brass</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> flange (like a camera flange), 4 inch in outside diameter,</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> with a 2 3/4 inch opening. Four screws are used.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> The second diaphragm is made of parchment paper, like</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> that used for covering jam-pots. It is 4 inch in diameter,</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> and is gummed over the cylinder (see Fig. 2). When the</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> gum is dry the diaphragm is moistened, and again allowed</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> to dry, when it will be found to be as tight as a drum.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> The second point is exactly like the first, though it may</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> with advantage be a trifle sharper. It is not attached</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> directly to the paper diaphragm, but to a steel spring, which</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> may be seen in Figs. 2 and 3. This is a piece of main</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> spring 5-16 inch wide and 2 1/2 inches long. It is fixed above</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> the hole in E by means of two strips of brass, as shown in</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Figure 3, and is just so much bent that the end of it, when</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> free, is 3/8 inch distant from the plane of E. The power of</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> this spring may, however, be varied within considerable</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; margin-bottom: 0.7em; margin-top: 0.3em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">limits without appreciable difference in its performance. The </span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> point is fixed to the spring in the same manner as to the iron</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> disc, but the same care as to over-heating is not requisite,</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> and the operation is consequently easier. Before the spring</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> is screwed in its place a loop of sewing silk is attached to the</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> centre of paper diaphragm by means of a piece of court</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> plaister 1/4 inch square (see Fig. 4, where A is the piece of</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> plaister, B the loop). The length of the loop must be such</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> that when it is drawn over the spring just above the point,</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> the end of the spring may be nearly in the plane of E. The</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> spring is thus caused to draw the paper drum even tighter</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> than before, and its inner surface is rendered slightly</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">convex.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Another flange carrying a short rim or spout is now</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> screwed round the paper drum. A paper resonator is made</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> to slip over the short rim or spout. It is a cone made of two</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> or three thicknesses of stout drawing paper. Its length is</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> 18 inches ; diameter at small end 24 inches, and at large end</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> 7 inches. The resonator greatly reinforces the sound when</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> the phonograph is speaking. A wooden mouthpiece like</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> those used for speaking-tubes is inserted into the hole, F</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> (see Figs. 1 and 2.)</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> The instrument is now complete, but it will require care-</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> ful adjustment before it can be used. In the first place the</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> screws which attach I to the base must be loosened, the</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> milled nut on F screwed up tight, and the piece, I,</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> shifted about until the point on the iron disc is exactly </span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> in the middle of one of the grooves on the cylinder,</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> and barely touches the bottom of it. Then the screws</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> must be tightened, and this part of the apparatus is</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> finally adjusted. The same process is repeated on the other</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> side, but in this case the adjustment is not quite final, as</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> will hereafter be seen.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> The next thing is to procure suitable tinfoil. This</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> should be rather stout — about 15 square feet to the pound</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> — and should be cut into pieces 141/2 inches by 4 1/2 inches.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Before putting a tinfoil upon the cylinder the two nuts are</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> removed and the diaphragms turned back out of the way.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> A little gum brushed along one end of the tinfoil will be</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> sufficient to keep it firmly in its place; the join must be</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> carefully smoothed. Tne diaphragms are then turned back</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> to their places, and the nuts screwed on. The nut on G is </span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">screwed up just far enough to cause the point on the iron</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> diaphragm to touch the tinfoil very lightly. The handle is</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> then turned about a quarter of a revolution, causing the</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> point to make a short scratch on the tinfoil. The nut on G</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> is thereupon loosened withdrawing the point from the tinfoil,</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> and the nut on B. being screwed up, another turn is given</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> to the handle. If the scratch thus produced exactly</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> coincides with the former one well and good ; if not, the </span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">screws attaching K to the base must be loosened, and K</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> shifted about until absolute coincidence is attained. The</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> utmost accuracy on this point is essential.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The instrument may now be considered fit for use.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Loosen the nut on H, so that the point of the</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> spring may be well away from tbe tinfoil and</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> screw up tho nut on G, so far that the point</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> on the iron diaphragm may score a well-defined </span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> furrow on the tinfoil when the handle is turned. Turn the</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> handle with as great regularity as possible, at the rate of</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> about one turn per second, or a little slower. Speak loudly</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> and distinctly into the mouthpiece, putting the mouth as</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> near as possible to it, without actually touching. When</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> you have finished, withdraw the point by loosening the</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> nut, turn the handle backwards until the cylinder is in its</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> original position, and screw up the second nut until the</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; margin-bottom: 0.7em; margin-top: 0.3em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">second point presses but steadily upon the bottom of the</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> furrow. Then put on the paper resonator, and turn the</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> handle at the same speed as before. If the adjustments are</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> perfect, the result will be astonishing.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> I will conclude with a few general remarks and hints.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> It will be observed that this instrument has two dia</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">phragms, whereas Edison's latest have only one, which does</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> both the receiving and the speaking. I have made many</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> experiments with the object of dispensing with one of the</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> diaphragms, but I have never, under any circumstances,</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">obtained so good results with one as with two. Mr. Preece</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> told the Physical Society that the employment of only one</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> was a ' retrograde step.' Reason and experience led me to</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> concur in his opinion.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> I do not believe that iron and parchment-paper are the</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> best possible materials for the diaphragms, though they are</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> better than any others which I have hitherto tried. The</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> great fault in the iron appears to lie in its tendency to resound</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> forcibly to certain overtones in certain vowel sounds. I</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> have tried to overcome this by coating the diaphragm with</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> indiarubber, but with no great success. I think, however,</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> that a ring of indiarabber between the diaphragm and the</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> flange has an undoubted effect in diminishing the nuisance.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> The steel spring is subjected to independent vibrations of a</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> similar nature. These may be damped by causing a piece</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> of soft indiarabber to press lightly upon it at a point about</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> 1/2 inch below the lower strip of brass. I have also found it</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> an advantage to wrap indiarabber round the top of the spring</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> before screwing it on.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> I believe that the mouthpiece of a telephone would give</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> better results than that of a speaking tube. A long resonat-</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> ing mouthpiece like that which Edison first used is worse</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> than useless.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> The point on the steel spring should be made to turn very</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> slightly upwards instead of being perpendicular. In the</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> latter case it is liable to produce a squeak something like </span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">that of a slatepencil when drawn upwards across a slate.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> If the points are to sharp, they will cut and scrape the</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> tinfoil : if too blunt, the articulation will be muffled. After </span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> the points have traversed the cylinder 200 or 300 times,</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> they will require sharpening. This can be done with a</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> small oilstone, without removing them.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> In conclusion, I may mention for the encouragement of</span></div>

A Bit About Shelford BIDWELL</h4>

Bidwell anticipated what would later become television. Inspired by experiments with the photophone, Bidwell went on to attempt the 'telegraphic transmision of pictures of natural objects'. The photophone, invented by Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922) in 1880, worked by transmitting sound on a beam of light. Bidwell used the principle of the Bakewell or D'Arlincourt copying telegraph, 'in which the variations of the current necesary to produce the design are effected by the action of light on a selenium cell'. Bidwell was President of the Physical Society from 1897 to 1899.</div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">William Lockart Morton's Carrum Swamp Drainage Scheme</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">In the early days of settlement in Victoria, there were large pockets of land that were swamplands. They could not be used for grazing, except in the summer time. In the winter, with the rain, there was a boggy wet mass of land. The Government of Victoria, set up a Swamp Commission to look into the reclamation of these areas. This is part of that time and in particular, the story of the Carrum Carrum Swamp.</span><br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Carrum Carrum Swamp</span></h3>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">There was a pocket of water that extended from an area around the Mordialloc Creek all the way down to Frankston and extended as far east as Dandenong. For people to get to Frankston they had to travel around this big wet area, which added considerable time to their journey.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">In a newspaper column, appears some scant information about the commission underway to decide how to treat the flooding that prevented the land to be used to it's best purpose: </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">People tend to rush in and start gathering all the information that they can find, but fail to record their own information. Don't do everyone else's information and forget to write your own story!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">You can also use various online web pages to record your information on. But I suggest that you keep your information private to begin with. Once you have it collated, you may decide to put it online, especially useful if you are looking for other people who may be related. Remembering that all information about living people should be made private before you go posting it online.</span></div>
