At Hunter Valley History Connection you can create and publish your own history pages for free. You can upload images or videos and present your history your way.

Pages are available for different towns, so that you can add your history to whichever town is relevant. For each town there is a Local History and a Family History page.

You can create a sub page (or several) under the Local History page of your town to record your knowledge of the history of the area.

Under the Family History Page for your town you can create sub pages to write your own family history or genealogy.

First choose the location of your new page from the list on the top left. Confirm the town and then select (click) either the Local History or Family History page. (Each town is divided into two sections - Local History and Family History). A page will open with instructions about how to begin adding your new pages.


This is a Wiki site.
It is free to use. Wikis are sites that can be edited and added-to by anyone who signs up. The idea is that pages get better with time and participation. So if you upload your family tree, others can add their information or photographs to your Family page. You can check latest additions via the site reports on the left. You can post any queries, comments or suggestions in the forum. There is a help section at WetPaint Wiki here

Any page you create can be locked if you wish. More towns or suburbs can be created. Send me a message if you would like any changes or have difficulties setting up your page.

Have Fun!!

Hi
I stumbled accross an ad in a newspaper asking Ann Fitzgerald (convict originally) to contact a specific postoffice as there is something she will here to her benifit. The ad listed her first place of convict labour in Sydney followed by being posted to Mrs Kelmon of the famous Kirkton Vineyard. I then stumbled accross a marriage for her (not my line) to a John Shannon in 1833 Newcastle (Christ Church Cathedral) but cannot find any details of this man dying etc.. Ann is also known as Mary Ann possibly and was illiterate. Does anyone know anything about this pair Ann remarries and lives in Goulburn with a Charles Payne and has many children.

Thanks
