Over the years I’ve written various posts for Australia Day and even offered a meme or two. Strangely I’d forgotten that I’d done many of these until my geminate Anne from Anne’s Family History blog resurrected one of these themes today.
Since I’ve prepared no new post for Australia Day 2021, I’m including a list of the posts I’ve done previously.
Australia Day 2017: My Immigrant Ancestors
Australia Day 2016: Queenslander!
Australia Day 2014: C’mon Aussie, Climbing your family gum tree
Australia Day 2014: C’mon Aussie Compilation
The following memes were inspired by geminate Shelley from Twigs of Yore blog
Australia Day 2013: The Kents from Sandon, Hertfordshire
Australia Day 2012: Wealth for toil on the railway
Australia Day 2011: The importance of church records
Feel free to add your own responses to any of these topics and memes. Or you might want to join us on @ANZAncestryTime tonight (7pm AEST) to discuss “Why do Family History?”
Not only have I forgotten about some of the posts, I even missed the 11th anniversary of my own blog in late December. Happy blogiversary to Family History Across the Seas.

All this talk of Gum Trees has made me realise that you created an Aussie term to describe the Aussie branches on our family trees. Heading off soon to add Gum Tree to the Geneadictionary.

It’s 4.30 pm on Australia Day and I am reading blogs. What is wrong with this picture? No sausages ready for the BBQ and did not swim at the beach today. Whatever anyone decides about today I am very appreciative of my Aussie friends and happy to be living here. And that I can spend it in front of the computer if I wish.

Pretty much my day too Fran, with a visit from a family member. I love my country and choose to celebrate it in my own way.
