These accounts of families in Victoria began with our own ancestors. The first was Joseph Thomas who came to Sydney in 1818 'at the pleasure of the Regency of King George III' and my studies have continued because of a marriage to a family already studied. I now also include other holders of a surname, if there were only a few people involved. When you write concerning a name in my site, I am interested provided the information is before 1920, avoids issues relating to the 'privacy of the living', and is no further back than the parents of the person who came to Victoria. Desired info includes space 1. Full name, date and place of birth with names of parents, ship and date of arrival in Australia, how the person got to Victoria space 2. For Spouse, Full name, date and place of birth with names of parents, arrival details space 3. For each Child born before 1920, birth date, date and name of spouse, date of death, number of issue Each child, provided they wed before 1920, begins another paragraph. Family history gets so complicated ... especially when I try to keep notes with the names, and also have tried to set out my pages in alphabetical order. To avoid repeating families I also try to put families with the father's surname, especially once I have the names in 3 generations - grandparents in the 'homeland', migrating man with his wife and children, at least one set of his grandchildren. My cut off date is 1920 to avoid invading the privacy of those still alive, and I only go back outside Australia to the family the migrating person was born into. ShipsMy site Victoria before 1847 concentrates on the movement of ships, with an alphabetical list of each person named and expanded by other news items found or given me by descendants.Other ships that caught my interest Asia 1856 to Adelaide, Caroline Agnes 1849 to Geelong, Gipsy Bride Feb and Dec 1855, India Ocean 1854 to Portland, Marmion 1852 with 407 to Portland, Omega 1856. Soundex SystemBack before computers, genealogists were familiar with the problems of 'near-miss spelling' and surnames that sound the same but are spelled differently. See Soundex for your surname, and read an explanation - the Basics shown clearly or Eastman's Notes show Basics and more details.
