Mary Robb and George Thomas Green South Australia

[pinefamily]

A bit like when I had to tell my in-laws they were actually fourth cousins. 
They told me to stop looking after that!

But I am glad that you have acknowledged the efforts the kind people have gone to in looking up information on your behalf.

Through this site and other methods I have managed to fill in my grandfathers family as far back as Mary Robb's great grandparents but still only have George Thomas Green's father.

I have no doubt that if you were to get a copy of the NSW marriage cert for George Thomas GREEN and Jessie GOUDIE he would tell you that he was a widower and that he was born in 1870 in Western Australia to John Edward GREEN and Mary CROWDY.  Marriage certificates are also sometimes notated with the date of death of the previous spouse and the number of children born to them.

John Edward GREEN, formerly of Birkenhead, South Australia, died in Perth WA in 1903.  He had a second relationship with Louisa COLE.

John Edward GREEN was also born in WA and his parents George GREEN and Jane BEACHAM were amongst the first European settlers.

Try telling one side of the family .................... . There was a great deal of yelling and ancestral DNA does not lie.

Sremmus,
Having a mixed  genetic inheritance which includes that of our only true Australians, the Aboriginal people, is a  source of pride for those fortunate enough to have it.

Likewise, the Jewish are among the most resilient, strong-minded and successful races in the world. Those with such a heritage must be the lucky ones.

Statements which reflect prejudice  are not acceptable to the Rootschat group who themselves come from a wide diversity of culture and ethnicity.

I am one of the few in the family who does not allow past stories to colour my view on the truth. I always investigate and put accurate information in front of them and explain the process it took to get it. They don't always like it but history is history. Try telling one side of the family that they have Jewish heritage and the other that they are aboriginal. There was a great deal of yelling and ancestral DNA does not lie.

I have been involved in family history for over 50 years, and I have shared my research with many of my family members across those years, long before the internet and long before family history's popularity brought with it many factoidal myths and twaddle statements about how our earlier generations viewed their own unique family's history.

So, may I mention that I would be astonished if any of my NSW born ancestors (or their neighbours, workmates, fellow church attendees) would have thought any less of a person because of a Jewish heritage or an Aboriginal heritage.... And I well recall my grandparents who were born in the 1870s and 1880s...  I am born and was raised in rural NSW, with several generations of ancestors who were also born and raised in the Western Land Division of NSW.

I am happy to say that I have no issues around my who or what I am culturally. I am a woman of Aboriginal, Irish, Scottish, English, Belarus Jewish heritage. How my family deal with that varies. Some have openly accepted the information about cultural heritage I have put forward, others have not and that issue is there's to work through because all I can do is give them the information to process. Not everyone is so open and accepting but it is nice to hear from those who are.

Oh, thank you Cando I did miss the post by Debra.
