Ok look lets put this past us shall we.
Just as a mention of interest Id like to share something about myself with you guys ok.Maybe it make you understand me somewhat ok..
To some my ways, thoughts etc seem
Old fashioned JM - me I'm not so sure...but I was born in Sydney and raised in Bourke in far north western nsw bush country my parents were older parents who were in there forties when they adopted my brother and I in the seventies. So well into their fifties as we grew into our teen years, I have always had nothing but older adults and people around me so I am said for my almost 43years quite wise as a result.
Up until 6 years ago I lived in Sydney.
I now reside in Qld Sth East.
This family/families are Victorians yes as it is my husband JM that is the Victorian born and bred and the German side comes in on his mums side as her mum was a Patterson.And if course there's the Overton side with English,Australian of course, and usa links.One bringing gas lightning to Melbourne.
And this is his family I'm doing. My side are English, French, Irish,Scottish (convicts, lords and ladies and everything in between lol).
If I misunderstood people then maybe I too was misunderstood because not once did I think I had given the impression that I wasn't taking anything onboard including that family lore isn't Gospel and yes things should be backed up with evidence if only you had heard all the goss we found wasn't true..I'm quite aware of that and have always kept an open mind of such things and I was reading everything,looking at links etc taking on board what you guys were saying ok I think because I was stating what is been told which in a lot of the time is all I've had as this family has been so dn secretive and non talkative it's all I've had/have.
So yes I do understand you cannot just go on family stuff just because I mightve mentioned something more than once didn't mean I didn't believe or wasn't accepting or open to what you guys n gals were saying I don't really understand where or how you thought that but anyway water under the bridge.
Let's just forget it shall we obviously Weve misunderstood each other.
