I don't have any rellies in Victoria; some were there only briefly.  I'd like to do touristy things on Phillip Island and leave dee to pursue her family history there!  Bourke St Mall - well, a brief visit, but hey, you can shop anywhere these days!

Hi all,
I have been thinking about ideas for the Melbourne Meet and one of my 'projects' will need your help.

What I would like from everyone is a pic of a place where your ancestors came from.  One that is of importance to your research.
It can be local ie: Australia, or, England, Scotland and Wales etc.
It can be of a village, inn, farmhouse, even the ship your ancestors came out in.
If you don't think you have a pic of the village your family came from we can do some googling. ;D

If you are coming as a couple, ie Robert and Karon  ;D, you will need to provide 2 pics based on your own family lines.

Sorry, cannot give reason for this request, hopefully it will be worth your anticipation.
If you do not have my email address to send a pic, please p.m. me for it.
I will need some time to accomplish this 'project' so please get back to me as soon as you can.  ;)

thankyou

Hi Caz,
great photos there, think I like the Lion pub one.

My family lived opposite the White Lion pub in Kildwick Yorkshire and then one of the sons when he came to Australia opened up a pub called the white lion in Deniliquin.  It is still there - not in the family though.
So a 'Lion Pub' seems appropriate to me ::)

Thankyou for being early ;D
