'It helps the next generation to know who they are.' How interesting is the link between telling family stories and identity for the next generation. A critical reason for remembering, writing and telling our life's stories. Fascinating listening to the call-in conversations. It's like you said, 'It helps put the pieces in place for the life you have now.' Looking forward to the next segment.
Oh, I love this and it's wonderful to hear your voice in radio recordings here. I hope you'll be posting these each month for the community of fans you're building here. I think stories of migration are just so fascinating.
Migrations have occurred everywhere, but growing from colonialism, Australia, like the United States and Canada, grew in particular ways that revealed historical and cultural insights from around the world. I can't wait. I'd never heard of Earl Grey girls, for example, until one of our members, Jennifer Jones, wrote about her grandmother for the Projectkin Members' Corner: projectkin.substack.com/p/famine-and-the-earl-grey-girl-in
Sharing with our whole community to be sure no one misses this.
An interesting podcast... I like listening to people's real stories. (Being a retired counsellor, I have spent many hours doing so.) It wasn't made clear that Trove is a digitised newspaper collection, not a Geneology specific site, although I too have used it to get more context in my family research. It helps to bring characters into what may otherwise become a list of names.
I had one very old photo in a box, of an infant and was just marked "probably USA". It sat there for years, with little hope of identifying it. Recently someone contacted me through a genealogy site from the US claiming to be related. After verifying that we were, I sent him a copy of the mystery photo... and he knew who it was. Amazing!
Hi Jane, I haven't had time to listen yet, but I heard about the show earlier from Brad Powe, who was on the show a little after you. Brad's ancestor Ah Poo was on the goldfield at Tambaroora/Hill End in 1862. Brad has inherited an incredible collection of family photos, documents and memorabilia.

The power of the internet.
