Thanks for organizing the whole event – it was fun to participate, even from such a distance. And should you ever make your way to Canada – let me know. We’d love to play!

Sorry for my belated commenting, I couldn’t access the site when I came by earlier. I’m so glad you found a way to join in. Every contribution is appreciated and it all adds context to our ancestors lives.

My little ones are a similar age to yours so if you ever make it to Australia we could organise a playdate!

OK, I understand. International flights can be an effort on one’s own, let alone with little ones in tow! The Australasian Congress is held every third year, so you will get another chance. I think 2015 will be in Canberra.

I really would love to come visit some day. I`d like to take my children along, though. As they are both under four, I think I`m going to wait a few more years. I`m just not that brave! (When I think of what our ancestors went through to get to Australia and Canada, it seems silly I don`t want to travel for a couple of days with two small children, but there it is!)

An afterthought... It would be fun if you could make your visit coincide with the Australasian Congress on Genealogy and Heraldry. The next one is in Adelaide in 2012. There are always some speakers from the northern hemisphere.
