[tropicalj]

Hello  ther Dee 

You two  girls  have  done a marvellous piece of investigative  work  without  spending a  penny  goodonyamate!

I  noted that William R Rodgers  was born  in  NZ  but  you  may have allready  had  that  little snippet

kind  regards Jenn

Ah....I missed that, Jenn....more work to do tomorrow now! Might have to ask the help of some New Zealanders!

Just seen it on SBS!!!! We're going to get WDYTYA!!!!!! Coming Soon!!!!!  YEEEEEHAAAAAA!!!!

Tis exciting, isn't it ozlady? ...... 

Jenn,
No mention of William R. Rodgers on Familysearch, and reading the NZ board it seems there are no online indexes, and what indexes there are can be very hard to read. 

Looks like William R. might be a dead end to us.....

Just to report that I have the Ita story sorted as far as I am able without either making a trip to the city or spending money.....and I am not going to do either of those things.   

Think it is time to have another look at one of the others.....

But I made a trip to the city - didn't add much to the story - but found a couple of brothers    And I had lunch with my daughter - so it was an expensive trip to the city - she never pays   

Well done Dee - it will be interesting to see if the program finds anything you didn't find - maybe we should start in the film industry!

Trish

PS Forgot - I am visiting a friend who has the pedigree files tomorrow - will see if the CD contains anything additional.

There are NZ indexes (I think name only - no parents etc) on fiche at the State library - I have a memory that they are not very easy to use - have checked them for one distant family connection I found.

Trish, that is what it seemed to say about the indexes on the NZ board. 

Makes one appreciate some of what we have available in Oz!

And thankyou for that trip to the city! 
(My problem is that I do 5 hours bus travelling to have an hour and a half in the library!    )

And you do that sometimes     

I have a 20 minute car trip tomorrow that I am told may take some hours - a new "factory outlet" centre is opening     

I find it quite scarry that the main activity in our lives seems to be shopping - perhaps this is why I am now at the gym trying to regain my youthful shape -        No chance!!

Trish....I did it once, and once only. Once was quite enough.   

Now I wait patiently until a friend is driving down, and I go with her, and put in for the petrol costs.

Enjoy your very "long" car trip tomorrow!

I collected the book "My First Forty Years" from the local library today......done some skimming.....and it is obvious that Ita's family history is known to her. So watching her episode of WDYTYA is going to be very very interesting.....
