Offer:Toowoomba QLD Headstone Photos

[jeune-romantique]

Another Toowoomba person!  That makes two of us who are active on here.  You should think about coming to our meet in Brisbane in October, jeune-romantique - see the threads in The Common Room!

Sounds like a good idea! I'll have to think about a way to get there though, but hope I can go.

SE Qld Rootschatters are a lot of fun, and our meets are a laugh a minute!  There are buses (Greyhound) that would get you there, or I may be driving.  If you'd like to contact me closer to the date, I'll know what I'm doing, and could give you a lift if you want.

Thanks for the offer. I'm sure you could give me some wise advice for researching my family history, after all I am only 17 (and only began research a few months ago).

We could talk flat out all the way to Brisbane and back, j-r!    I'm very impressed that you have started so young, and therefore have so much opportunity to find things out!  I constantly kick myself that I didn't start earlier, while people who could have helped a lot were still with us!

haha that's the one thing I'm good at...talking! Thanks, it was the fact that my Nana had some information on her mother's ancestors that triggered my thirst to know my ancestors. Luckily for me my 1st Cousin 2 Times Removed had already gathered a wealth of information, so to start it was easy (just had to input a lot of information into PAF), but now (with other sides, and the brick walls that aforementioned cousin hit) it has become so much harder.

Thanks for the offer, I'll get back to on it. What date will the meeting be?

It is set down for Sunday 7 October, at the State Library/Southbank in Brisbane (the jury is still out on how much time will be spent in the library researching and how much at a cafe socialising!)  You'll find threads in the Common Room with lots of discussion!

Hi folks

Have just found CHRISTIE and KRETSCHMAR graves, and photographed them, for a Rootschatter.

If anyone has an interest in these graves, or the families concerned, let me know as I have some information.

Hi MarieC, If your offer is still open for pics at Toowoomba I have a couple of relatives there.

Charles Edward Porter died 19/8/1962 Section CE 5A Block 3 All 1
Henry Porter died 14/11/1953 Section Meth 3 Block 4 All 14

Thanks very much, Evelina

Hi Evelina

For some reason I didn't get an email notifying me of your post - don't know why!    Just as well I looked at the thread! 

Yes, certainly I'll go and look for them for you.  It's raining at present, so when it fines up....

Being relatively recent, they should have good clear inscriptions!
