Thanks Wiggy!

Appreciate the welcome (and heads up on the rules )

I fully understand chasing down your own tree first as its easy to get distracted and i'm still a newbie.

Have found some of your info helpful for my family's bigger picture

Cheers

G'day neilb1

No need for an apology!

Haha looks like we're 3rd cousins or something like that!?!

Samuel Douglas was my great uncle, he had 3 brothers and a sister and only my grandfather had children - i.e. not a lot of offspring from that generation!

By the way, I found on another tree your grandmother Clara Agnes had in brackets in her name (Poga) do you know what this might refer to?

Yeah happy to share notes
