Tuesday!

Hello. Well, today I have had things to do at work. Lots of forms to process etc. So not a bad day all in all.

I have had time, however, to do some genealogy stuff on the net. I had a search for a ship called the India that my great great great etc grandfather, Walter Herd, came to Australia on. It burned at sea in 1841, and he continuted his journey on a ship called the Grindlay. I was happy to find a whole website on the disaster, which was maintained by a gentleman in Australia whose great etc grandmother was on the ship. Below is the link...

Looking at the site made me think. If my ancestor had not survived the disaster, would I be here today? Would I be the same person? Interesting to think about really. Because if he did not survive, then his wife would have married someone else. She would not have had my great great grandmother Julia, and so on.

It snowed again today. I made a short movie on my camera, to use up the rest of my memory card. I shall be getting the photos burned on cd this week, and then I will be able to upload more photos and share them with you!!!

45 mins to go!
