GAGs - GeniAus' Gems - 14 April 2017

I'm taking an hour off from packing boxes of books and geneastuff to indulge in a little blog business. I hope that the posts I am sharing today will do one of these three things,  Educate, Enthuse or Entertain, that Michelle Patient mentioned in a recent podcast.


I've caught up on reading my overseas blog subs this week so have a couple of international posts to share as well as local items.

1. Lorine shares some exciting news for those with ancestors who may be buried in Highgate.

Dear Jill - thanks for listing the Aussie bloggers participating in the A-Z. It makes life much easier to go round and give a high five to everyone.

Thanks for all the A to Z people...good to have in one spot. I did read the decluttering post and fund it pertinent....kind of like going camping in what you need. Would probably also work for travel packing. However my essentials include things that are beautiful and make me feel happy even though in theory I could live without them. Do one hundred books count as one item?
