Tip: How to create a font of your own handwriting

Oh how I wish I had found this a couple of weeks ago! I would have used it to do my Christmas Cards! Read on to learn how to create your own font!

Reading a hand-typed letter from a loved one just does not have the personal touch of a handwritten letter. I have some beautifully-written love notes that my great-grandparents wrote to each other before they were married. Imagine if these notes were typed by a computer?

Nowra General Cemetery – Revocation of Rights of Burial prior to 1 January 1946

Today I received my copy of the “Shoalhaven Bereavement Services Newsletter Sept 2009″ and wish to draw your attention to the following document, especially if you have ancestors or family buried there before 1 January 1946.

“Nowra General Cemetery – Revocation of Rights of Burial In accordance with a resolution of Shoalhaven City Council adopted 2 March 2007 and provisions under Clause 34 – Revocation of Exclusive Rights Of Burial of the “Crown Lands (General Reserves) By-law 2006”, notice is given of the possible revocation of Rights of Burial issued in Nowra Cemetery prior to 1 January 1946. The proposal affects only grave plots that DO NOT contain burials. The grave plot allocations that have been identified for this purpose are shown below. Affected Right of Burial holders can secure their entitlement for a further sixty (60) years by contacting Shoalhaven Bereavement Services before 12 March 2010. For more information and advice on how to claim or renew a Right of Burial or how to be compensated if your Right of Burial is revoked, please contact Shoalhaven Bereavement Services Ph (02) 4421 6355, Fax (02) 4429 5951 – smg...@shoalhaven.nsw.gov.au”

Life in Australia’s Convict Female Factories

Gallery exhibitions – National Archives of Australia.

An estimated one in five Australians has an ancestor who spent time in a convict female factory, but very little material survives from these women. Their contribution has been largely ignored, yet they are the ‘mothers of the nation’ – women with grit who survived the dire conditions of late 18th and early 19th century colonial Australia.

Our Mary Ann Jones nee Sullivan c.1806-?, spent time here and it would be absolutely fascinating to visit this exhibition. Oh at times like this wish I was still living in NSW! Maybe I need to go home…

If you’re in Sydney this is a must see exhibition!

MVHR – Mary Valley Heritage Railway presents The Valley Rattler..

What an awesome Mother’s Day The ‘Girls’ (3 generations) spending a weekend in Gympie! Went on the Rattler for a day trip to Imbil, had an awesome lunch at the Rattler Cafe as well.

A fantastic day was had, and I would recommend the journey. The staff on the steam train, especially our host David were absolutely fantastic. Jorjeena was invited to join the drivers Neville and John on the engine during the return journey. She had a fantastic time and wanted me to add her thanks and appreciation here.

I might try one of the theme journeys, maybe the Wild, Wild West
