Treasures in the Trove – September 2015

GSQ Blog Posted on September 24, 2015 by Cathie SherwoodSeptember 24, 2015

Assume – as genealogists, we are told not to, but to prove all our assertions by rigorous application of solid genealogical methodology.  Assumptions – we are told not to make them, but to back up our claims and cite our sources.  What, however, could possibly happen if we did, in fact, challenge some of our most basic genealogical assumptions?  For instance, what actually constitutes a family tree chart?  What content, layout, format should be included, or not, for a document … Continue reading

Where There is a Will…..

GSQ Blog Posted on September 7, 2015 by Helen SmithJanuary 1, 2017

In Queensland it is not uncommon to find a death certificate in the probate packet from about … Continue reading
