Amanda Myers is a member of the Australia Project.
Born in the 1960s, I am our family historian. I trained as a computer programmer in the 1980s but went to work for a government department. Took early retirement thinking I would study genealogy only to end up helping to raise 7 nieces at different times
I started tracing my Family History when my beloved grandmother died in 1988. Listening to my grandfather reminisce I decided to write down as much as I could. My grandparents had raised me in my early life and it became my solace. Then it occurred to me just how little I knew of my dad's side. He died when I was very young and so it continues......

It's time for our annual Australia Project membership checkin. Thank you so much for your involvement in the Project in the last year and for all your help improving Australian profiles on WikiTree. Australia Project members play such a vital role in Australian genealogy on WikiTree.
Please could you reply to this profile comment (don't add a new comment!), or send me a private message to let us know if you'd like to stay on in the Project, and to let us know what you plan to work on for the next year, and if you would like to change any of the teams you are on. Our teams are listed on Australia Project Teams.
We know that people move on to new things, so if you no longer want to be in the Australia Project, please let us know so that we can remove you from the membership list.
We're always happy to receive any ideas or suggestions that you have to make our project even better.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
The Australia Project Leadership Team ~ Gillian, Kylie, Margaret and Veronica
Sorry I should have replied earlier. It's been a bad week.
Happy to stay as I am at the moment.
Plans
So I think I have pretty much filled next year already
Amanda
It sounds like you have a full year ahead.
We look forward to 2025 being a great year on WikiTree!
Regards, Margaret
Amanda, thanks for your efforts to improve our share tree.
Remember, too, that when adding your sources to not simply refer to a family tree on Ancestry, or FamilySearch, but to verify the sources attached to such pages and use the citation provided (FS) or generate your own (Ancestry – WikiTree Sourcer is a great tool for that, as it also creates a sharing link).
Don’t forget – one profile equals one point, not multiple edits for multiple sources on the same profile. Also – unlike the Connect-a-Thon – ‘’’this’’’ thon requires you to click the tracker button to record your edits.
Most important of all – remember to eat and hydrate properly, and ‘’’HAVE FUN’’’.
See you at the thon!
Hertyl, Spertyl, Melanie, and Susan.
Congrats on your 3rd completed Profile Makeover!

Once again it is time for our annual Ireland Project check-in.
1. Would you like to continue as a member of the project? 2. Do you have any suggestions for project priorities in the next year? 3. Do you have any interest in taking a more active role in the project and, if so, what might you be interested in doing?
A response to the check-in is one of the project’s few requirements for all members. Please either post a reply below or send me a private message on WikiTree. If we don’t hear from you, we’ll assume your interests have changed and you no longer have time to participate in the project.
Thank you for all of your contributions to WikiTree and to the Ireland Project.
Gach beannacht,
Jen, Ireland Project co-leader
I'm happy to stay as I am at the moment working on those from Ireland coming to Australia.
Thank you Amanda
https://fairhall.one-name.net/families/myline/g0/p42.htm#i1049 I'd appreciate being acknowledged if you use my data, and if we can share more please email me. Bruce Fairhall
I don't fit into the Fairhall family. I sourced Eric Fairhall and his wife Marie during the Wikigames as they were both unsourced. All information added was from primary sources - I have not used your data.

Thank you for merging the 2 William Beehag and the lovely work you done on the profile. I have added William's son William Alexander Beehag and connected his wife and her family. Now a question. Charlotte Annie Beehag nee Stone came to Australia at the age of 12. The information is on the Public Record Office Victoria. How do I add it to the profile, and it is within tire copy right law??? Sending the link by PM Regards Heidi

Thanks for sourcing with us again, Amanda.
Regarding your query about localities in South Australia. Margaret has not commented directly but she has created two new categories to date. Monbulla was right in my sights as being a place that used to have a school. Even though the school closed, it is still a locality.
On a different subject, I am one person who doesn't like the Regional name 'Colony of South Australia'. My personal preference is 'South Australia' with second preference for 'Province of South Australia'. 7/8 g-grandparents and one gg-grandmother were born in SA.
Regards, Steve.

You're entitled to use the form you wish. I use 'Colony of' in order to show the difference - before and after federation on most states. Officially South Australia was only a Province from 1836 to 1856 and then a Colony from 1856-1900. Federation being 1 January 1901.
Amanda
Thanks for participating with the Sourcers in February!
We appreciate your work, Mel
