I've been researching my family history for over thirty years. Along this genealogy journey I have been supported by hundreds of books, many of which I have listed on my Librarything page.
During the 2021 #AtoZChallenge I will be writing about two of my passions, books and family history. I'll be taking a trip down memory lane and revisiting some of those books that have enriched my genealogy experience.
In the days before Trove I purchased my copy of this book which I read and enjoyed. I found several mentions of my Curry family and their connections plus a reference to an article in The Sydney Morning Herald in which Patrick was interviewed by Caroline Chisholm. From this article I was able to find further information in Jerrold's Papers.
With nearly 70 pages of notes, a bibliography and index this work provides a great springboard to research in the Camden area.
You can find this book on the shelves of many libraries here, https://trove.nla.gov.au/work/18852594. I found that copies of the second edition of this work are available here https://scholarly.info/book/camden-farm-and-village-life-in-early-nsw/
