The Tree of Me

Like thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people around the work, I have been playing with the new addition at MyHeritage  - My Heritage in Color. I want to share one of the photos I uploaded. It came from my mother-in-law's collection and I believe from her father's German side of the family. I feel that this photo was not taken in Australia but am prepared to be proved incorrect. Unknown gentleman from my image collection Some of the points of interest: the timber house has no eaves 2 bicycles beside the house wooden barrel on the left hand side of the path the brick? house in the background, appears to have some sort of carving on the second story above the door his cap may be an identifying feature he is smoking a pipe The building in the background makes me think this is not from the Armidale area. Who are you?

I have just discovered when my great uncle William Vesey Dawson first went into business as a saddler. Casino and Kyogle Courier and North Coast Advertiser (NSW : 1904 - 1932) ,                  Wednesday 11 February 1914, page 3 He only had his business open for 8 months before he enlisted in World War I. Upon returning to Australia, Bill continued his work as a saddler in several locations on the north coast of NSW until his death in Coffs Harbour, NSW in February 1974.
