Family Tree Frog: April 2015
http://familytreefrog.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
An Australian family historian recording her research for posterity. 52 Weeks of Abundant Genealogy. Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories. Calendar of Family History Anniversaries. Tuesday, April 28, 2015. Earlier this year (2nd January to be precise) I ordered an mtFull Sequence test from Family Tree DNA. I finally got my results last week on 21 April but I had such a busy week at work and home that I didn't realise I'd received my results until yesterday! Basically this tests my matrilineal heritage.

Islay History: October 2012
http://islayhistory.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 15, 2012. Tales and Travels of a School Inspector. Travelling around the islands in all seasons was not without its risks and he describes a hair raising journey in a storm from Colonsay to Port Askaig, where on finally getting off his boat at 2:30 am he was harangued by a parent complaining about his child's school! Portnahaven School in 1915 with teacher Jean Currie on left -. Wilson would almost certainly have visited this school during this period. Photo from Betsy West's Photo Gallery.

Monday, August 4, 2014. The First World War Dead from Islay. Port Ellen War Memorial. Yesterday I published a list of the names mentioned on Islay war memorials.

Islay History: Islay fishermen 1890s: strike, riot and tragedy
http://islayhistory.blogspot.com/2015/12/islay-fishermen-1890s-strike-riot-and_29.html
Tuesday, December 29, 2015. Islay fishermen 1890s: strike, riot and tragedy. Life for fishermen on Islay in the 1890s, as at many other times, was precarious and dangerous. These reports highlight several incidents from the period, including two court cases and a drowning. The first report is of a strike by fishermen from Port Wemyss, which led to three people being jailed. They seem to have been convicted under Combinations of Workmen Act 1825. A law passed to restrict trade unions and picketing. The da...
