Hi Trish,
Glad to see that your package finally arrived safe & sound. Grin

Totally agree that wills can be a real  treasure trove of information. A couple of mine have opened doors that I had never even thought of....And boy! Did I get some surprises. Shocked

Certificates give dates and names etc.. Wills give more insight into the person, and the family dynamics....Can make a soap opera look tame in comparison. Grin Grin Grin

Cheers,
corsharn Smiley

Not sure where that came from - No sign of my "package" - lost for all time per courtesy of Aust Post
The information for Bob came from what was checked for me by another rootschatter.

Good old Australia Post...You don't want to hear what I think of them Lips Sealed 

I've had so many thing mysteriously go missing  Sad  I've reported the missing items...Still missing!! And AP couldn't give a hoot.  The blood pressures going up just thinking about them. Angry

Hi Corsharn

I got my wills on the 2nd try today - Laurie has been away - they were posted last Friday and arrived safely today - there was 1 will and one intestacy (sp) - my grandmother was left with virtually nothing & 2 small boys in 1922 - the meagre amount of money that existed was mostly in trust for her sons (when they turned 21!). I do wonder how folks survived - welfare is not much joy today but in 1922 it was non existant!

Hi Trish,
Great news!  Grin

My gg-grandmothers will was a real eye opener as well...She left her whole estate to only one of her 7 children, leaving my g-grandmother who was widowed with four young  children out in the cold.
Can't imagine how hard it would have been for them..As you said, no welfare back then.

I guess the saying  " A woman is like a tea bag- you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water" is very true. Wink
