PERSONALS Trove Tuesday 22nd Feb 2022

 

Personals can be a great source of information, much of which you might never have considered. There may be guest lists at weddings, or a 21st or even a funeral.. You may find where that missing person moved to, or what happened to them. There are often clues about families who are related .. previously unknown to you. 

Don't dismiss an area because you have never thought there could be a connection. Also, consider names that are spelt differently. I know it's very hard to believe, but there are sometimes errors in reports.

Enjoy...

Note: the first date I can find for the Tongala Bowling Club was 1927.

There is a Facebook group for the club if you are interested in it.
