#1.   Thanks to Ancestry.com I found a second cousin for David.  David only knew of one cousin who lives in the USA but I found a Great Aunt Robina on his fathers side and wrote to someone who was also on Ancestry.com and had her own family tree which included Robina as her Great Grandmother.  Yesterday this person, his second cousin Jane, replied to a message I had sent her a month ago and it looks like there may be more cousins for David.  I on the other hand have and know 9 cousins, more than 15 first cousins once removed and several second cousins.

David and I are very happy to have found him a cousin.

This one is a first...

#2.  Yesterday I was speaking to my brother Nick who lives in Hong Kong, he was telling he met a new chap through work and when Nick asked where he lived in Sydney the chap replied that Nick would probably never have heard of it, he lived at Rodd Point!  Well Nick nearly fell over, 'That's my Ancestry' said Nick, 'In which street do you live, some of those street names are named after my family...'  'Undine Street', was the reply...

Yes this street is named after our Great Aunt Undine Una Rodd, who died in 1888 in childbirth aged only 25.


Great Aunt's Lenore, Janet and Undine.  Great Uncles Brent and Burnell, Grandfather Clements which is also our Dad's middle name.
