It's months since I last blogged any news. Finding family on genes reunited has kept me so busy.

The best news however is that we're going to have a new grand-daughter in September, a little sister for Phoebe, who is now 14 months old and as cute as ever. See the latest photo

Stickwood Families

Since my previous post on this family I have received a huge amount of info from Heatha who was contacted through Genes Reunited. The new info will appear on my website next time it is updated.

Benjafield Update

I know it's a while since I updated but much has happened & we've also been on holiday. At last we've been to Nashville, a tour which included Memphis & Las Vegas. It was great but family info has been pouring in since August & it's now back to some work.

Brian Frappell has sent an updated file for the descendants of Harry Benjafield, who emigrated to Tasmania in 1873. I hope to update my website soon with all this.
