As I had written about Mum's connection with the GPO in Sydney earlier this month I thought it pertinent to reshare this post I wrote ten years ago.

Three Rabbit Holes today
My annual subscription to MyHeritage runs out today so I am madly going through the DNA matches for the accounts I manage there before my access expires. I will probably resubscribe some time in the future when there is a decent offer but I cannot justify the AU $349 fee to extend my subscription now.
I am able to use the MyHeritage subs at a local library or a genealogy society to search the MyHeritage record sets from home so I can't see the value investing in a premium subscription.
My Rabbit Holes of choice today are those MyHeritage Matches, DNAPainter to paint them and the Airtable database I use to track them.

See you at THE Genealogy Show
It's only five days until I take to the stage at THE Genealogy Show. I am thrilled to be in the company of so many renowned speakers on THE Show program.
My first presentation, Genealogy Research with Facebook, is scheduled for 2:00am on the 25th June in the UK but will air at the convenient time of 11am for my genimates on Australian Eastern Standard time.
My second gig, Managing Frugally: An Alphabet Of Tips & Tools For Family Historians, is scheduled for 10pm on the 26th June in the UK and will air at 7am on Sunday the 27th August for those on Australian Eastern Standard time.
Don't worry if these times aren't convenient for you as the recordings will be available on demand for the 30 days of THE Show.

Deadmans Lane
Browsing through some snaps of one of our last overseas holidays I cam across this image of Deadmans Lane in Rye, East Sussex.
Such a pretty image for a place with such a deadly name. This post on Flickr gives an explanation for the naming of this thoroughfare.
And why was I in Deadmans Lane? I was trying to make my way to the House with two front doors in which the fictional character, Morton Farrier, from Nathan Dylan Goodwin's series of genealogy mysteries is supposed to reside.
