My Murray ancestors came from Ireland and settled in the Rockhampton area; many descendants are still there.
I knew my Paternal Great grandmother from Ireland she talked about our family back in Ireland. I grew up knowing her descendants.
I met and knew several of my paternal grandmother's siblings. She told me her Ancestor's names and gave me photos of her family.
I started my research using micro-fische, Birth, Death and Marriage Certificates also reading history books, old newspapers etc. I DO NOT RELY ON DEATH CERTIFICATES FOR YEAR OF BIRTH etc, I do more research.
I have contact with many distant cousins who keep each other updated, especially my cousin, the south Queensland cemetery walker for the Bowden/Speechley information.
I have done my Ancestry (DNA). My Ancestry family tree is private as some of my photos have been downloaded, distorted and used on Find A Grave, which is against copyright.
