Here, by popular demand, is some of the documentation gathered by members of the Cook Family of the wedding of my ~~little~~ younger brother Stephen to the beautiful Jo Gilbey on the Central Coast in NSW earlier this month.

Photos are being uploaded here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bonwag/tags/steveswedding/

Also, with special thanks to Charlotte, the now-famous dance finale. Enjoy!

Family Tree Uprooted – Again

Monday, September 27, 2010Monday, September 27, 2010 ~ bonwag

Any family members seeking the Family Tree – it’s offline for the time being while I find a better host for it.

It is currently available at ancestry.com, but I think you need to sign up for a free account to view it. There’s also a version at genesreunited.co.uk if you’re a member there.

If you are serious about tracing the family tree, I recommend at least getting a basic, free account at either or both sites, to help with the research!

But if you just want to snap off a twig for your own interest, let me know and I can send you what data I have. (I’m still in ‘data gathering’ mode so I can tell you when, but not how our ancestors lived. That’ll change soon.)
