Hi there Bronny! , yes the penny did drop, after posting my comment I had a good look at your other posts and realised it must be you, or another first cousin named Bronwyn....
Was thinking when I last saw you, must be about 20 years ago I reckon?? At the Grenfell property. Have a photo of our families having a picnic in the bush.
Checked out your website, you've done quite a bit of work!! and still going I'm sure.
It's amazing to me how many little rabbit trails can lead off when researching family history, and all very interesting to follow, but lots of trails seem to quickly reach a 'dead end'.
It seems both sides of my family crossed paths in this region in the mid 1800's, my dad's mum was a Henderson, and the family took the same route as the Dents from Adelaide, to Yankalilla, to the South Coast of the Fleurieu, at around the same time, although some of the Hendersons ended up in Victoria, where my Dad's from.
Another freaky thing was to find that my wifes ancestors came to Australia on the same ship, the 'Joseph rowan', as our Burgar clan!!, on the same trip!!
Hope you're doing well, would like to know more of what you've been up to the last 20 years,
If you ever want to contact me, my email is
Stephen
