Much has been written on Chinese-Aboriginal relationships in Northern Australia\, but much less on similar relationships elsewhere in Australia\, in particular NSW.\n\n \;\n\nDating back at least to the 1870s\, the Chinese people were pioneers in large scale market gardening in the Wellington district\, and their community was one of the largest Chinese communities in rural NSW\, if not rural Australia. It had linkages to many other nearby Chinese communities in central west NSW\, and more distant communities such as Mudgee\, Coolah\, Bourke and Cobar.\n\n \;\n\nThe Wellington Chinese community had very strong relationships with the Aboriginal community and many members of the European community. Aboriginal labour\, including the labour of women and children\, was of critical importance to the market gardeners\, and the Aboriginal elders regarded the \;Chinese as their saviours\, as they paid and treated them fairly and often gave them produce free of charge. Many Aboriginal people lived on the Chinese farms\, and some in their homes. Of particular interest in this saga are the ubiquitous Ah See family and the Coon\, Sing Lee\, Lousick\, Mow Funn and Ling families.\n\n \;\n\nDr Barry McGowan is a Canberra-based heritage consultant and historian\, and an Honorary Staff Member of the Australian National University&rsquo\;s College of Asia and the Pacific. He has written extensively on the history and heritage of Australian mining communities and the Chinese people in Australia. His best known books are Ghost Towns of Australia and Fool&rsquo\;s Gold. Myths and Legends of gold-seeking in Australia.\n\n \;\n\nBarry has also written several thematic histories of the Chinese people in regional and rural Australia. These include Tracking the Dragon. A history of the Chinese in the Riverina (2010)\, Tracking the Dragon\: Thematic History of the Chinese people in the Rutherglen\Wahgunyah region of the Indigo Shire\, Victoria\, (2015)\, and True Australians and Pioneers\: Chinese Migration to the Orange Region of NSW\, published in August 2017. \n\n \;\n\nIn October and November 2017 Barry presented papers on the Chinese people in Australia at Xian and Beijing universities in China and at Nagasaki University in Japan. He is currently writing a biography of the Chinese-Australian WWI sniper\, Billy Sing\, and researching further the history of the Chinese and Chinese-Aboriginal people in central and western NSW. \n CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT METHOD:PUBLISH DTSTART:2018-03-09T22:30:00Z DTEND:2018-03-10T00:30:00Z SUMMARY:Irish Special Interest Group UID:330 DESCRIPTION:"\;How can you help me with my Irish brick wall?"\; \;There are six \;meetings per year held on the first Saturday of February\, Second Saturday \;of March\, May\, July\, September\, and November.

It will show some of the early surveyors&rsquo\; recordings of the presence of European rural settlement in mainly the NSW counties of Dampier\, Murray and St Vincent\, but the presentation will also include examples from the wild Wicklow mountains battlefield of Glenmalure to the cemeteries of Waverley and Braidwood. The presentation makes use of the field books of James Meehan and Robert Hoddle together with numerous photographs of various survey marks and monuments found over the past 40 years. NSW Portion plans contain more than just boundaries. With the bushranging activities of the Clarke Gang in full swing\, Henry Parkes in 1866 authorised four Special Constables\, posing as bogus or disguised surveyors\, to secretly track down these bushrangers. A humble Portion plan in the Jinden area shows the exact location where two were shot dead. The remaining constables were executed\, reportedly on their knees\, some distance away. These four murders are still the greatest massacre of policemen in Australian history. The actual perpetrators of these hideous crimes have never been brought to justice\, and the crimes remain unsolved to this day. The details surrounding these bogus surveyors will be discussed at length.

A Private Empire (Pier 9\, 2010) traces five generations of a Scottish family\, extending from the Scottish Highlands \;to \;Mughal India\, the muddy plantations of Guyana\, \;and colonial Australia'\;s lawless frontier. Zoffany'\;s daughter\: love and treachery on a small island (South Solitary Press\, 2017\: see www.zoffanysdaughter.com) \;focuses narrowly on events \;in Guernsey in 1825\, when Cecilia Horne\, daughter of the famous painter Johan Zoffany\, struggled against the conventions of paternal authority to retain custody of her eleven year-old child.\n\nWhile the two books might seem \;very different from one another\, in fact they have much in common. Stephen will \;talk about \;ways in which \;'\;microhistories'\; of individual families can tell much larger stories. He will also reflect on each book'\;s remarkable '\;genealogical afterlife'\;.\n\nStephen'\;s other books include (jointly) The Making of the ANU\, where he is now \;an Editorial Fellow with the National Centre for Biography.\n\n \;\n CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT METHOD:PUBLISH DTSTART:2018-06-06T09:30:00Z DTEND:2018-06-06T11:30:00Z SUMMARY:The Master Genealogist (TMG) User Group UID:408 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT METHOD:PUBLISH DTSTART:2018-06-07T09:30:00Z DTEND:2018-06-07T11:30:00Z SUMMARY:Scottish Special Interest Group UID:409 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT METHOD:PUBLISH DTSTART:2018-06-13T08:00:00Z DTEND:2018-06-13T10:00:00Z SUMMARY:Convict Special Interest Group UID:410 DESCRIPTION:Convict Special Interest Group \;\nThe Convict Special Interest Group will be hosting a private viewing of the Rascals and Ratbags Exhibition at the Royal Australian Mint on Wednesday 13 June from 6 to 8 pm.

In the ARC-funded Indigenous Dictionary of Biography\, it is not unusual to have very little official documentation of the lives of subjects\, and thus researchers need to look elsewhere for this material. Added to this is the need to consider Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander conceptions of &lsquo\;family&rsquo\; which are often fluid and extensive and include classificatory and adoptive relationships. To effectively undertake biographical studies in such an environment\, oral and customary information is vital\, which requires the formation of relationships with living descendants.\n CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT METHOD:PUBLISH DTSTART:2018-08-08T09:30:00Z DTEND:2018-08-08T11:30:00Z SUMMARY:Convict Special Interest Group UID:424 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT METHOD:PUBLISH DTSTART:2018-08-09T00:00:00Z DTEND:2018-08-09T02:00:00Z SUMMARY:Family Tree Maker (FTM) Users Group UID:425 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT METHOD:PUBLISH DTSTART:2018-08-09T09:30:00Z DTEND:2018-08-09T11:30:00Z SUMMARY:North of England Special Interest Group UID:426 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT METHOD:PUBLISH DTSTART:2018-08-16T00:00:00Z DTEND:2018-08-16T02:00:00Z SUMMARY:Legacy Users Group UID:427 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT METHOD:PUBLISH DTSTART:2018-08-16T10:00:00Z DTEND:2018-08-16T11:00:00Z SUMMARY:Heraldry Special Interest Group UID:428 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT METHOD:PUBLISH DTSTART:2018-08-18T00:00:00Z DTEND:2018-08-18T02:30:00Z SUMMARY:Writers Special Interest Group UID:429 DESCRIPTION:Author Talk\: \; Our speaker this month is HAGSOC member Peter Grills\, who has published two family histories with a different twist.
