Went to three weekend markets, ten minutes drive from each other. Who needs a pub crawl when you can spend Sunday market hopping? #tasmania #launceston #evandale

I had to turn back on a planned ride this morning. My engine oil was still leaking and I didn’t want to risk going on a 240km ride not knowing what is going on. I’ll go out for a shorter ride to #Evandale when the sun goes down. And yes, I will take photos! #scooter #motorcycle #tasmania

Just finished writing my post about my big day out to Evandale, the area of my 1840s ancestors in Tasmania. https://suewyatt.edublogs.org/2023/01/12/my-big-day-out/ #genealogy #FamilyHistory #Tasmania #Evandale

Since Covid began I haven’t driven very far from home, only as far as Hobart, New Norfolk, Pontville and Orford. But today I headed to Evandale near Launceston. Most of my ancestors started their Tasmanian lives in that district. I visited The information centre at Evandale and spoke to a volunteer who organised for me to meet someone from the historical society. I wanted to check that the folders I am putting together were suitable for them to have. I drove down to Clarendon property to meet him and have a chat. Then I decided to take a drive to Nile, Deddington, English Town and Blessington all places where the ancestors lived in the 1840’s. Of course none of their houses were there. View from near English Town looking down the valley towards Deddington. I am going to write a post on my blog soon about my day out. #Evandale #Tasmania #Genealogy #Genealogists #FamilyHistory

While sorting out my Davey Dixon folder I am also getting rid of lots of paper and emails from family reunions back in 2003. Checking the information is on the database first, noting email addresses and phone numbers under notes section. This is feeling really good clearing out my untidy office area. #genealogy #FamilyHistory #Tasmania #Evandale
