GAGs - GeniAus' Gems - 27 February 2015

Last week just flew by! It's Friday morning again so it's time to open my GAGs folder in Evernote and see what I have lined up to share with you this week. Evernote makes it so easy for me to keep track of the Gems I find during the week.



Oh dear, I had more than a dozen to share, here are those that made my final cut. 

1. First up I'm being self indulgent because I am so proud of this new endeavour.

  2. Thank you for sharing my Irish/South Australian Smyths. Amongst them I've now found 3 priests and 2 nuns. No small wonder that particular branch of the Smyth surname no longer exists.

I'd love to hear what you have to say so I encourage you to say G'day in comments on my posts.

Sorry I have turned word verification on but I am just getting too much spam to allow comments without this feature.
