LostCousins: The LostCousins site is totally free to 2 May 2011. This is probably the only web site that has virtually 100% accuracy in matching people who share the same ancestors. You do not waste time corresponding with people who are not related to you. To use LostCousins you need to have found relatives in one of these censuses: USA 1880; Canada 1881; Scotland 1881; Ireland 1911; England and Wales 1841, 1881 or 1911. Be sure to enter data for brothers and sisters of your direct ancestors. It is their descendants who are most likely to have letters or photos from your line. Start by reading the LostCousins 'How-to' page. Remember to log in periodically, go to your 'My Ancestors' page and click 'Search'.

| 'Inside History' magazine: Inside History is a new magazine about Australian and New Zealand genealogy, history and heritage. Published bi-monthly, Inside History has genealogy articles and tips, expert advice, stories about history (old houses, country towns, biographies etc.), and lots more. I received a complimentary copy and was so impressed by the quality of the magazine that I asked Brisbane City Council libraries to subscribe so that it will reach a wider audience. For more details (including a list of stockists) see the Inside History Web site. |

This site has over 120 pages of genealogy and family history advice, indexes and services, especially for Queensland - but much of the advice also applies elsewhere, and the indexes include many people from other States and countries. More than 51,000 names are listed, mainly from Queensland State Archives records and unusual and neglected sources that are valuable for problem solving.

Quiring Monuments Inc has introduced a new twist in cemetery memorials: a code affixed to gravestones that can be scanned with a smartphone to give more information about the deceased. Company President Dave Quiring said he’s been exploring interactive gravestone technologies for years, but prior attempts were too expensive and the technologies were too temperamental and limited. Now he thinks he has found the right combination. http://www.monuments.com/gallery |

Recently the Glamorgan Spring Bay Historical Society Inc. received a donation of two photograph albums belonging to the MOREY, MITCHELMORE and associated families. Unfortunately over 95% are not named. Can anyone help us identify them please?
