Tomorrow I hop on a aircraft to Brisbane the place I begin a 4-week tour of Australia and New Zealand. Alongside the way in which I hope to absorb the sights and sounds of those two fabulous international locations, in addition to go to cousins, DNA matches, undertaking members, and genetic genealogists who share the identical ardour for DNA and family tree that I do.
A number of of my wider household ended up in Australia. Ruby Kathleen Gleeson left Tipperary in 1885. We discovered her 1893 wedding ceremony memento (from Thargomindah) amongst my nice grandfather’s papers, however we had no concept who she was. After a number of years of analysis, and a DNA check, we established that she was the sister of my nice grandfather.

Lots of my Spearin relations travelled to Australia, some as prisoners on the Mangles. Their many descendants at this time have contributed to the Spearin DNA Challenge, which traces our ancestors again to a gaggle of brothers in Limerick within the late 1600s. Apparently they got here from London the place they have been goldsmiths, and earlier than that from Belgium, the place they have been retailers or bookbinders.
I look ahead to assembly most of the descendants of each these strains of my household throughout my go to.
Right here is the schedule of talks and workshops I shall be giving. In case you are within the neighbourhood, drop in and say howdy!
