Tree Completeness

Tree Completeness - May 2023

In 2020 I wrote a post about my tree completeness with the results below. Since then I have made some progress and unfortunately some regress in my more distant ancestors.

4G grandparents

I now know the names of 39 out of 64 of my 4g grandparents which is 2 less that 2020. Obviously I had research which has not proved to be incorrect.

5G grandparents

From 37 of 128 to 44 of 128

6G grandparents

From 27 of 256 to 37 of 256

7G grandparents

9 of 512 to 30 of 512

8G grandparents

7 of 1024 to 14 of 1024

9G grandparents

3 of 2048 to 5 of 2048

10G grandparents

None in 2020 to 2 of 4096

I wonder when I will reach saturation? I'm forever grateful to those who transcribe records and their subsequent availability online.

Caroline Chisholm

I am currently in England visiting my daughter who is working in London. Naturally I decided I would have to spend some time on genealogical pursuits. The problem was where would I choose for a few day's retreat from London? In the end I decided to go to Northampton to visit the grave of Caroline Chisholm. Caroline is known as the immigrant's friend. She was a well known social reformer of her day. Why is Caroline significant to me and my family?

My WW1 soldiers (2) - Ernest Lee Dawson

Ernest Lee Dawson (500) (1885 - 1968) This is the second post in a series of posts over the next few years to remember all the men in my extended family who enlisted in World War 1.

Of the twenty six, five were killed overseas or died here in Australia. My aim is to publish these posts on the 100th anniversary of their enlistment. Ernest Lee Dawson (my great uncle) was the eldest child of William Henry Dawson and his wife Bridget Mylan. He was born in the Cooma district of NSW in 1885. On 25th August 1914, less than three weeks after the outbreak of the First World War Ernie, a farmer who lived at Old Bonalbo enlisted in the 2nd Light Horse Regiment in Lismore. Ernie had previous military experience. In 1906, he answered an advertisement to join the Shanghai Municipal Council Police Force, as a recruit. He was appointed on 10th Ja
