Welcome to The Lilley/Matthews Mailout for January 2003. It seems like only recently that I put out the last newsletter (probably because it was only recently), yet a lot has happened at the site since then. Not only is there a version of the family tree now operational from the web page, but many other things have been added as the rest of the newsletter will make clear.
Special thanks this month to Sally Northey, who is a descendent of Jame Blanch and Mary Balcomb. Sally passed onto me a bit of information that helped to fill a few holes in the family tree by way of marriage dates, birth dates, middle names, etc. Hopefully the website proved of some help to her also as she continues her research in genealogy.
If you have any material that may be of assistance and you are willing to give it or lend it to me, please contact me via email at nrbcpastorkev@yahoo.com.au I am especially interested in gaining photographs, historical documents, etc.
CONTENTS:
Website Update
Quite a lot of content has been added to the site, including the family tree of course. New content includes a number of articles relating to Samuel Lilley and Swan Bay (including photos of the Mulwee School and Swan Bay Brickworks site).
Also from the articles page you will find links to a bibliography that I am slowly putting together, as well as cemetery transcriptions that have relevance to this site.
I have also added quite a lot of new photos to the various photo albums for your enjoyment (still with more to come). Perhaps you have some photos that I can add to the albums of your family or people related to our family. If so, do as my brother did - scan them in as bmp images and send them to me via email. Or you might loan them to me so that I can scan them in, then I will return them to you.
Mail Groups and Communities
If you have some familial relationship to the Lilley or Matthews family, please consider joining The Lilley Family Mail Group or The Matthews Family Mail Group for the purpose of receiving Emails from different family members all at the same time and being able to therefore share in a continuing online discussion with one another. All you have to do to join any of the mail groups is simply enter your email address below and press enter. It's that simple and you will then be able to participate with other family members in on-going discussions about what's happening in the family, with people you all know, etc. Give it a whirl.
