- Giddings Family -- Judy Brodie (nee Giddings), 13:21:31 08/11/07 Sat [1]
If anyone can help me please, I am trying to find the descendants of William John Peter Giddings who was a Jounalist in the Adelaide area. WJP Giddings died in 1938. He was married to an Auroa Killicoat and they had a daughter called Marjorie Mary Giddings who married Leslie Edgar Masters in 1923. I know that they had a son Peter Eric Masters born in 1925 in Glenelg.
I need to find a contact with this family as I am pretty sure William's father, William is the brother of my James Giddings that came to NSW in 1853.

- FREEReg for Parish Record Searches in the UK -- Colin Withall, 19:36:45 07/15/04 Thu [1]
The FreeREG Project's objective is to provide free Internet searches of baptism, marriage, and burial records, which have been extracted from parish registers and non-conformist church records in the UK. The recording of baptisms, marriages and burials in parish registers began in England in 1538.
This is a part of the FreeUKGEN Project and companion project to FreeBMD, which is a database of the GRO birth, marriage and death indexes from 1837.
Records are to be made freely available through a search engine only, not as complete sets of data for a church. For complete transcriptions, where available, refer to the local County Records Offices, or Family History Societies.
The FreeREG database is just a finding tool. It should not be considered to be *proof*, or indeed that it is always 100% accurate, or contains all of the information in the actual register. Once you have found a record, then write to the relevant Family History Society or County Record Office, who, for a small fee, will obtain a print from the original register for you. In many cases you can also purchase a full transcript of the register from the FHS.
this database is still in preparation and being tested. Keep an eye on this site for when it goes "live." http://freereg.rootsweb.com

- Irish Research Brickwalls. -- Colin Withall, 20:11:05 07/15/04 Thu [1]
THIS INFORMATION WAS DOWNLOADED FROM A NEWSLETTER, AND APPROVAL ALLOWING IT TO BE FORWARDED WAS GIVEN.
You may not be aware but.....
On 13 April, 1922, a disastrous fire in the Four Courts building (the Public Record Office) in Dublin, Ireland, destroyed virtually all pre-1901 Irish census records, wills, and Church of Ireland parish registers. The result is that Irish genealogical research is much more difficult than research in the rest of the British Isles.
Because this loss, it is highly important that you start your Irish genealogical research in the country of immigration (for example, the United States, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand). Make a comprehensive search of available records in the country of immigration. Search out family traditions; birth, marriage and death records; obituaries; cemetery records; wills; Bibles; census records; plus immigration and naturalization records. Look for the full names of your immigrant ancestors; their dates of birth and/or marriage in Ireland; their place of residence in Ireland; their religion, occupation; dates of emigration, etc. This preliminary research will greatly increase the probability of actually locating Irish records. To have the best chance of success, it is necessary to know at least three things:
· The name of the family
· The parish or townland in which they lived
· The approximate date
A few records were saved from the conflagration and many records can be located at local levels. Reconstructing lost records has been the quest of both historians and genealogists, who have compiled substitute records, plus made available various indices, abstracts, and transcriptions of records that were created before the fire. Despite these gallant efforts, serious gaps in Irish records remain.
In addition, the highly important registers of births, deaths and marriages, which are indexed by quarters, were not housed in the Four Courts building and so did not burn. Most of these vital records date from 1864. Records for births, deaths and Catholic marriages commenced in 1864. Records for non-Catholic marriages date from 1845. The quarterly indices are available on microfilm through the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. Once a record has been located in an index, it can be ordered from either the General Register Office of Ireland (Dublin) or the General Register Office of Northern Ireland (Belfast).
In addition, there is information available on the Internet. As with other research, you should know the surname, place or residence and approximate date so that you can effectively focus your search on pertinent Web sites.

You may have heard about this website, but it is worth mentioning again:
The Family History Project, sponsored by The History Channel, is a Webpage filled with informative 'how-to' tips for people interested in their British and Irish ancestry. Here you will find useful articles that will help you in your research (for example, Tracing Emigrant Ancestors); expert advice (for example, Search the 1901 Census); video training clips (for example, Army Records); and genealogical events in the UK and Ireland. In additional the Web site provides a place for your personal Web page where you can build and store your family tree as well as features useful links to the National Archives, the Royal British Legion and the Imperial War Museum and more.
This site is well-worth visiting if your ancestry originated in the British Isles! www.thefamilyhistoryproject.co.uk/
