Hi everyone

New Zealand is holding it's first Family History Fair this July in
Hamilton. There will be seminars, exhibitions and genealogical help
desks. The 3 day Fair kicks off with a formal opening, dinner and
entertainment, from 6pm on Friday 16th July 2010.

Whether you have just started researching your family, or are focused
on a particular area of research, or want to get some pointers on
where to head next, or maybe you want to see some of the latest
resources available.  If so, then the exhibitors, inspiration centre
and help desks at this inaugural New Zealand Family History Fair,
will be there to assist.

Over Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th July, there will be 44 seminars
covering four main areas:

1) Who am I? Getting started...
2) What can I find? Researching Effectively
3) Where is my family?
4) Sharing my past for the future

To confirm your place at one or more seminars you will need to book
before 12 June 2010. Door sales will be available on the Saturday and
Sunday for the exhibition, inspiration centre and help desk areas,
however seats in the seminar areas are limited and are available for
sale on the day only IF they haven't sold out before.

Come for the whole event or for just 1 or 2 days, please see

Siblings of Charles O MONTROSE....

Lucky for you is seems that the family came to Sydney - possibly along with Matilda nee DANKS.

If you check the death indexes for NSW you can see many child of Charles O.

http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/familyHistory/search.htm

You can by transcriptions of NSW certificates (all the same info - sometimes more for about 1/2 the price of a certified copy) - I use

www.transcriptions.com.au

I also wonder if this is Matilda's death cert - worth ordering to check as NSW one give names and ages of living children - if the informant knew this info.

 125/1932      CLAUSON      MATILDA      FREDERICK W      ANN      SYDNEY

I suspect the brother in law might be connected to Charles's wife as - I cant find a marriage of a HILL and MONTROSE in either NZ nor NSW. But maybe you will have more luck

All the best
