Biography

The public master copy of my research is maintained at http://www.dorneyfamilyhistory.net/famtree_web/

I live in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

I only manage profiles of people that are either blood relatives or their spouses, so if you see my name on a profile I'm related!

The one exception is a Dorney branch which I am linked to circumstantially. The only living male descendant of this line never replied to a contact attempt, so my chance of ever proving the connection is slim.

Of course some of my blood relatives are manager by other people as well.

I do a lot of edits as part of the Data Doctors project, so I'm not just editing my relatives.

Genealogy Goals

(more or less in order)

  • Write biographies for all ancestors of my children
  • Enter all blood relatives and spouses (where straightforward to do so)
  • Do my part to reduce open Australian errors/suggestion to below 1,000
  • Fix all errors/suggestions up to 15 degrees of separation from myself.
  • Ensure all profiles up to 6 degrees of separation from all ancestors have at least one date or place
  • Photograph all headstones at South Brisbane Cemetery (billiongraves project)
  • Check my connection each week to the featured profiles and make sure it appears correct
  • Reduce my connection to the Queen Victoria to 19 steps (currently 20)
  • Upload photos of all my ancestors


Progress

(as at 13 March 2018)
Paternal side: Biographies about half done, tree mostly complete.

DORNEY
It's my last name! I'm descended from William Dorney, a hairdresser of Clonmel, born ca 1770 in Ireland, but I keep an interest in Dorneys from Cork in case I can connect them all together one day.
GALGEY
I'm descended from a Penelope Galgey, born 1810 in Cork City. It's a very rare surname and I always take an interest in it.

Betsy (Elizabeth) Sams profiles merged. It must have been something else lurking in my mind that slowed me down. Thanks for the new more complete profile you created.

Hi Mark,

thanks for you message - first I'm rechecking 205 (6 new ones & total of 21); then continuing with 210 (down to 102 this week from 173 last week) - keep getting side tracked fixing other errors I find - and have jobs I want to do at home. Have a good week Diane

Hi Mark,

I'm going to continue on the 210's starting at the bottom of the list - I'm a bit sick of doing them and with Easter and some jobs I want to do around the house, not sure how much time I will spend on it this week. Hope you have a very happy and safe Easter. Best wishes, Diane

Good day Mark… It appears that my first assessment of the Price tree imperfection was incorrect [Nayda Mary Attwell Price [Stewart-13086]] As I have found that I had generated the imperfection… Now corrected it appears OK… Any comments welcome… Regards & Cheers Peter Patten

Thanks for setting the birthday of Catherine Violet Massie straight. It was 1879. Her daughter Catherine Violet (Kitty) Coote whose story is very sad was born in 1908.
