We research and confirm they are our ancestors and then we become protective over it as we add them to our tree and records and seek to discover all we can. <br /><br />It is so frustrating, when our genuine behaviour and fondness for these ancestors is challenged or simply not welcomed. After all,they are our ancestors.Julie Goucherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368170005503879489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749871.post-75162629359734643892012-03-16T09:06:07.128+00:002012-03-16T09:06:07.128+00:00Thanks Julie for participating once again. You'...Thanks Julie for participating once again. You've amply demonstrated that persistence pays and that one needs to be both vigilant and discerning when looking at the records...those anomalies need to be weighed and appropriate conclusions reached. I know exactly what you mean about the reception one gets: the archive that gave me the certificate is generous and inclusive and I have a happy meeting-of-minds with the archivist. Another Catholic archive is by no means as generous -with them you don't even get in the door. It frustrates me because I'm talking about the late 1800s and this is the history of the church in Queensland as represented by its Irish members with occasional sprinklings of other nationalities. They cite Privacy etc etc quite happily...and unproductively.Cassmob (Pauleen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18397134336319778519noreply@blogger.com
