Personally, I was looking for any Hobbs, but can only find one.. James Hobbs .. I have a James as a possible son of Robert Hobbs and Bridget Heslin… born 1808, but I only have a note with a question… Did he exist? He’s listed as a bricklayer in this list… would a farming family have a son who was a bricklayer ? The more we discover, the less we know at times… Good luck with your search..




Wash your hands and take care of yourself and each other.

You can get the latest information about our events from the Events page of the SAG website. 
When you register for an event, the confirmation email will contain information about how to join the event online. In many cases, this will require you to complete a further step of registering with Gotowebinar. If you have not used Gotowebinar before, you can find information about it on our website here.

Project Gutenberg Blocked By ISPs in Italy
Date: 9 June 2020 at 5:40:13 pm AEST








Project Gutenberg is the world’s oldest digital library. It has been blocked by ISPs in Italy under the orders of the Court of Rome. The platform, which focuses on public domain books, appears to have been erroneously labeled a pirate site in an action targeting 28 domains and several Telegram channels.  The site has been rendered inaccessible by ISPs in Italy under the instructions of the Public Prosecutor at the Court of Rome.

The seizure/blocking notice states that all of the targeted domains “distributed, transmitted and disseminated in pdf format, magazines, newspapers and books (property protected by copyright) after having illegally acquired numerous computer files with their content, communicating them to the public, [and] entering them into a system of communication networks.”

The order from the Court of Rome was also sent to Google, a copy of which was acquired by TorrentFreak from the Lumen Database. The sender was Reccia Giovanni who is listed as a commander with the  Guardia di Finanza,(GdF) the Italian police unit tasked with financial crimes. Gutenberg.org is 15th on the list of allegedly infringing sites.  According to its transparency report, Google has received requests to have 1,110 URLs from Gutenberg.org deleted from its search results. The company took “no action” for 85.9% and marked the remaining 14.1% as duplicate requests, for which it also did nothing.

Project Gutenberg was founded in 1971 includes 62,000 books  with a focus on titles that entered the public domain after their copyrights expired.  Everything from Project Gutenberg is completely without cost to readers  in the United Statesbecause most are not protected by U.S. copyright law, usually because their copyrights have expired. They may not be free of copyright in other countries. It is best for readers to check copyright terms of their countries before downloading or redistributing their eBooks. They also have a number of copyrighted titles, for which the copyright holder has given permission for unlimited non-commercial worldwide use.  Project Gutenberg eBooks require no special apps to read, just the regular Web browsers or eBook readers that are included with computers and mobile devices

The website is: https://www.gutenberg.org/  The block it’s not anything on the Gutenberg.org servers or associated infrastructure and is applied by the Italian authorities, perhaps only in Rome.  Project Gutenberg operates wholly from the United States.

Missing Friends..Trove Tuesday 16 Jun 2020, hundreds of names, great descriptions, occupations, published 1890 ..covers some earlier years, notification of some who were found, male and female, children and adults.. So many sad cases.. eg. The young Mum who left her 9 months old baby girl behind…The Irish man, native of Donegal, who had two names…and short and discoloured teeth..and what happened to Cornelius Brady from Co Tyrone?
Was it easier to disappear in this new colony, was it planned or just a spur of the moment…perhaps looking for a better life…
Pity I couldn’t go back in time and place a notice for John Goopy Snr …
