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 managed 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 6 degrees of separation from all ancestors.
  • Ensure all profiles up to 6 degrees of separation from all ancestors have at least one date and 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 where I have them

Progress

(as at 7 November2018)
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.

Hi Mark,

Are you still interested in completing the England Orphan Trail and becoming a full Project Member? Completion of the Trail is necessary for you to retain your England badge and contribute to the project. It’s good fun, only takes a few weeks and adds to the health of our global tree! Please let me know and I will update our records and hopefully get you started on the trail!

Thanks for the hint on the Bent page - I think I have now fixed it :-) It's a small world, my Clearys come from Clonmel and Cork as well - same as your Dorneys. I don't seem to be able to get back past the late 19th century, though :-(

Gay Mark you said "Duncan-6746 and Duncan-2059 appear to represent the same person because: Same birth and death details. Same wife." I can't actually get to "https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Duncan-6746" it defaults to Duncan-2059. does this mean its already merged?

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.
