GAGs - GeniAus' Gems - 1 April 2016

Easter and living family got in the way of my blog reading this week ..... but I wouldn't have it any other way. Nevertheless I still managed to read all the Australian Genealogy blog posts in my RSS feed and have noted  Gems to share.

Easter Distraction

I am feeling on the outer today when I see how many of my genimates are participating in the April A-Z Blogging Challenge. The day is still young and, if I can come up with an original idea, I may still join in. I look forward to having my RSS feed inundated with all of your posts, best wishes to all of the participants.

And now for this week's Gems:

1. Lynne returns to blogging with a post about her ancestor Samuel.
