Men born in Australia that are known to have been present at the Battle of Jutland are being added to the list referenced below when found. It is hoped that this will prove to be a useful resource for those with an interest in genealogy generally or who are specifically researching their Australian family trees.

Our latest podcast is getting great feedback (from my family!)

My dad, Peter Tangey, joined us to hear about Chorkles' testimony to the Victorian Royal Commission into Communism.

We also discuss some family drama when Dad tells the story of some ALP-DLP split induced biffo at his house.

Went down a #FamilyHistory rabbit hole today (oh dear, it’s so terribly easy to get sidetracked!) and looked at more information trying to date this photo from the family Bible. The stamp on the back was “W. Thwaites. jun., Photographer.” Using #Trove I found advertisements and tracked W. Thwaites movements, and helped nail down the date and probable location the photo was taken. Use every clue, eh?

Thwaites quite a fascinating character himself! #histodons #AustralianHistory #HistodonsAU

Arvo, Toots! I’m still feeling grumbly, so instead, let’s have some more #FamilyHistory fun. This lovely silhouette is my Dad, c.1952, and was made by a famous travelling silhouette artist artist, S. John Ross, using scissors, in about 45 seconds, at the #Quirindi show. #Trove #TroveAustralia #TroveAu #AustralianHistory #Histodons #HistodonsAu

Often I see calls for reviews of works of oral history but I always struggle to find out what works are new or about to be published.

I'm curious, how do others manage that? Is this more because I'm not in an institution and not noticing these things?

Arvo,Toots! Last nights insomnia was not fun. #FamilyHistory puzzle of last night solved easily this morning, I should have just got up and looked, of course.
Today’s photo is a scrap of #AustralianHistory. This tattered old envelope, “With compliments to Geoff, From Trixie and her boys, 1949” seems like rubbish - but my Dad, Geoff, was 10, Trixie and her boys were sheep, gifts from his Uncle, and the wool price was high. He earned several pounds a year from their clip. #histodons

"First Peoples’ knowledge of ‘mysterious fairy circles’ in Australian deserts has upended a long-standing science debate

(...) In 2016, a group of international scientists concluded that, in the Australian Pilbara, “fairy circles” arose from spinifex plants competing for water and nutrients – a similar explanation to the one they proposed for fairy circles in Namibia. These stories were amplified by the media, but the voices of Aboriginal desert people were not reported.

In a study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution today, we show what our Aboriginal coauthors have always known – that fairy circles in the Western Deserts of Australia are flat, hard “pavements” inhabited by spinifex termites (Drepanotermes species)."

Another #australianhistory / Australiana #podcast rec: Michael Adams delves into the “pashometer” craze of the 1930s. I had no idea the term “pash” went that far back in Aussie slang- although it’s not clear if it specifically refers to making out at this point.

War first came to Australia at 9:58am on Sunday, February 19, 1942.

The Bombing of Darwin marked 2 years of attacks against Australia’s northern inhabitants and began the Battle for Australia.

Although casualties were fewer, more bombs were dropped on Darwin in that first day, than were dropped on Pearl Harbor.

Ever so often I'm talking to someone about a bit of Australian history they're interested in and I say 'Have you looked it up in Trove?' and they say 'No, what's Trove?'

And I'm so excited for them.

Like a kid leaving a small town for uni. They don't understand how much fun is ahead.

I use trove so much - it's records are invaluable. If you are in Australia could you please send a message to your MP about guaranteeing funding for it? #australianHistory #trove #digitalRecords #wikipedia

Looking forward to recording more episodes in 2023. Planned topics include:

Greater gliders
Pelvic floor advice
A pair of great aunts
Chorkles Nellie Louisa Moss
Quizzes (for ladies)

Feel free to contact us with ideas and tip-offs. We'd love to find a long-lost murderer in someone's family.

Happy New Year!
