Trove Tuesday - Family Photos

I just came across this post from twelve months ago and as I liked the article so much I am reposting it.

This week finds me knee-deep in photos. My cousin lent me a small suitcase of photos belonging to her parents Thomas William Curry and Lillian Duncan who were my parents' siblings. In that case I have found many treasures.

I wondered what Trove had to say about family photos. The following is an article from the Australian Women's Weekly in 1971. You can view the article here http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-page4890692.

Trove Tuesday - Grandchildren

It's winter school holiday time for some of my grandchildren so that means that we get to see them a bit more then when school is in session. That means that those who live far away will come and visit for a few days  and those that live closer will pop in for morning tea or lunch  and a play. In fact I have just waved three off after a lunchtime visit.

I was wondering what I could find on Trove on the joys (or otherwise) of these visits and hit the jackpot with this collection from The Australian Women's Weekly that have been written in response to an earlier article.

Trove Tuesday - One, Two, Three

Anyone in Australia with the name Pusell is likely to be a cousin of mine. We all descend from a young errand boy, James Pusell who was transported on the James Pattison in 1837.

For this Trove Tuesday post I am sharing one of the newer articles that is available on Trove from the Australian Women's Weekly. I have never met the subjects of this story, Malcolm and Pam Pusell, but through this and other articles in digitised newspapers have learnt quite a bit about them and their special family.
