Australian Royalty

In Australia it’s seen as a badge of honour to have in one’s family tree a convict who was transported from the British  Isles during the late 18th and early 19th centuries to the new colonies. Oftentimes genies lament the lack of such a person in their ancestry, when one can prove a link to a convict it is time for a genealogy happy dance. .

Australian Royalty: Convicts and their ancestors in Australia are given a pseudo Royal status and commonly known as Australian Royalty.

Genevu

My genimate, Jenna Mills  posted this suggestion for the Geneadictionary during #genchat on Twitter today. It originally came from Genealogy Jen.

Genevu – That moment when you’ve read about someone else’s relatives so many times you think they’re yours.

Nibling Rivalry

From Geneadictionary supporter Tony Proctor.

“Nibling Rivalry” (like sibling rivalry). Heard this from Dan Edwards in a comment on my blog. Relates to disagreements on shared family trees.

A New Page

From time to time I come across a Geneapoem that I enjoy but am loathe to publish here lest I infringe copyright. So this morning when I found a nice poem about a Grandma  I decided to create this new page where I can link to geneapoems that I find in my meanderings. I hope you enjoy them too.

I’d appreciate your help in adding to this list.
