Hi all Believe it or not this is a Jenn - u - Wine Fambly His Tree question. .. I did ask on the boards, but I forgot to mention the vital word america - now I know very few of us are research american history, but maybe they know a friend who could tell me this .. for my daughter. Here's the query my daughter is asking if it is worth while getting a Birth/Death/Marriage certificate for America - in particular Paterson, New Jersey, in the year circa 1865 - what information it would contain??? (she is after more detail of the parents}. Hi, I wondered if some of your American friends could help with a question I have. .. I have a photocopy of a marriage certificate (an actual marriage certificate, not what the BDM give you) dated 1865 for Greg's family, in Paterson, New Jersey. .. I wondered if it mught be worth my while getting the BDM certificate if is shows more detail ie the parents. .. Could your friends tell you what is actually shown on the BDM certificates for that date? That's it folks Glad for the update Rudee Sad for Sue saying goodbye to son, and happy for Jude saying hello to daughter. .. Its my son's 45th birthday today and I was telling my daughter how lucky we are that our kids survived to that age and didnt succumb to accidents or sickness. We visited an Alpalca Farm today. .. Lovely majestic animals. Jood

*reaches in fridge for a coldie*...Aaaaaah ( burp )...:>)) Still warm in Melbum. 7:00pm and temp still showing 35c on decking. Joodle. Sorry, dont know much about American BDM's as i dont have any relo's in the States or freinds from the States. If you cant find what your looking for, you could Email this sight and ask. ( New Jersey BDM's ) http://vitalrec(.)com/nj.html Rang daughter up and she's not a happy bunny, and bubs is going to get a telling off when it arrives....lol She is booked into Monash Hospital for a Ultra sound to-morrow to see whats happening.

oi, oi, oi, what a great game! its been really quiet outside around here all afternoon, I suppose what else is there to do when the poms are getting a kicking after being in such a good possy.. yvette

Oh! What a sensational game of cricket. Our Aussie boys did us proud! I believe the poor old Poms have a sports psychologist waiting to counsel them. Must be very disappoointing for them when it looked for all the world as if they had it in the bag. Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi oi oi! :>) Anna

Well we coulnt have dinner tonight until the end of the game,,OH was glued to the TV..A very exciting game and I did feel a bit sorry for the Poms as they got so close and I was sure they had it in the bag..I thought the best we could do was a draw.but there you go,, I am having a relaxing day tomorrow as today was a rather busy one..Then thursday is back to North Shore hosp, and then friday to Canberra. Sat I am allowed to play up and eat lots,, bu,,er the diet on Sat. Rudee I bet daughter is not a happy chappy,, have another tablet and comiserate with her. Love Mary xxxx

Yeay the Aussies!! Hi gang .will somebody please tell me about this numbers grab thing? what still no baby? poor Sir Tones,never mind we still love you. Tassie love, just leave the door open and they always come home sometime. Hugz to you in the meantime. I'm pretty well confined to bed, just snuck on to say hello. The cancer was just that but we got it all, the infection has spread right through me but the antibiotics have kicked in today so will soon be o.k. again. Hope the MRI goes well. Here comes the guardian angel to shoo me back to bed., so love to all and hugs for the unwell. Luv Me

Hi Merle, gee you are in the wars. (((((((BIG HUGS))))))) Can you put a daybed next to the computer?? :) OK the number thingy - every time any of us reply to this thread our reply is counted. Because we waffle er.....talk a lot, we have a grand total of 17814 replies at the moment. It has become a game to reply and get the 0 ending numbers, or the sequencing numbers or anything that looks good :) However, often the numbers come up in the middle of our night BUT our friendly british cat makes sure she gets them for us. So kind of her really !!!! NOT. :) We have a game to see who can get them and when we are all playing it can be quite hilarious. :)

Hi Merle.. Lovely to see ya but GET BACK TO BED...Sorry to hear that the infection has spread but I hope the antibiotics are a good strong one..Personally I would like you in hospital and on IV antibiotics, Please if you get any sort of temperature go directly to the hospital,,BIG HUG Well I am off to bed so have a good night everyone, and see ys in the morning.. Love Mary xxxxx

Evening Wattlers Well son made it to Melb ok. We called into my Mums on the way so they could say goodbye to him and Mum gave me something that would make me feel better. Soooo when I came home from airport I got a bowl and filled it up with fresh raspberries from my Mums garden that she gave me and poured thicken cream all over and ate the lot yummmy. It did make me feel better. Well Im going to have an early night. Catch you all tomorrow. Cheers Sue

Good evening Wafflers . . . Merle, so sorry you have been so unwell, sending you lots of healing thoughts and hugs. I had a big day at the dentist today . . . thank goodness I dont have to go back for a while . . . not my favourite place to visit. Sorry if I gave you wrong impression when talking on msn Lara . . . Marg and the boys wont be here with me untill next Monday. They left Jakarta today, but have gone up to Brisbane first before they come down to spend some time with me. Looking forward to time with the boys, they grow up so fast, can't believe they are 8 and 6 already.. Can't believe how it has worked out - TLR going to Jakarta and me staying behind looking after Indonesian friends . . . Pepermint flake, I am so happy for you that you got your Kate home before Christmas. Having a bit of a giggle here thinking about your poor house and the dumped baggage AGAIN !!!! Poor Poppy Tony . . . pulling his hair out . . . Ah well, less for Barcode Barb to cut !! It must be a boy . . . uncooperative !!! Just about finished my Chrissy preparations today . . pressie wrapping in the morning and get the last out to the post! Naughty Sandra leaving the O/S cards sooo late . . . Lovely out on the Balcoonie tonight - nice big moon. . . must be time for a coffee and another Gaze. Tassie . . . sending you hugs, not easy . . . I KNOW !! Oh Great Queen one . . . hope your OK . . . hope the tum stayed unqueasy and the head isn't throbbing . . . ((hugs)) Off to find that coffee and the Balcoonie seat luv to all Laurie

*SIGH* .. It does help to put the batteries in the right way! .. My keyboard was doing funny things (it's cordless) - so turned it over, and sure enough - flat batteries! .. Ah well, all ok now. I just gotta tell ya's. .. I was at a friends place this evening, and she told me that the Sallies were coming to her street tonight, sure enough we saw them all in a little circle playing an assortment - well I don't know what they were playing really - trumpets I suppose - no little lasses with their timbrells and their black bonnets (they sadly don't wear them any more). .. Brings back childhood memories, I think I mentioned them just recently. Never tried tinned prunes Rudee, yuk - I always buy the loose stoneless ones you cook up yourself - yum .. lol Nite all (and Yvette, don't stay up all night .. lol) Forgot to tell you that Anna sent me a firie postcard, I'm not sure if they were taking their pants off or putting them on .. hahahaha. Relax They had shorts on as well!

Jood He he he he! Glad the raspberries cheered you up a bit Tassy. I don't think I've ever tasted fresh raspberries. I've had blue berries and I thought they were fairly tasteless. And blackberrries we used to pick when we were kids and make blackberry tart which was yum. Prunes - I like the big fat ones which already have the seeds taken out. I wonder if Lew was at the cricket today... she'd have been shouting and yelling and making a spectacle of herself for sure. Off to bed. Sleep tight everyone. Anna

Teeheee . . . . was talking to Lew this afternoon . . . she had to go into the bathroom to talk to me because the cricket noises were too loud . . . teeheee Lew has 2 nights at McLaren Vale, then 1 night at Deniliquin then she will be home on Friday. Said she will have a fresh batch of pills for us when she gets home Now I rooly am saying nigh nite xoxox luv Laurie
