Hi,

I'm starting a family tree and I have no Idea where to start. My nan's maiden name was yow,(Betty June Yow) she had a sister named Margaret whom died young (this is what I was told, if it is true or not). My nan was raised by her grandmother, (i'm not sure if her parents passed). She never spoke much about them so i'm starting from scratch to try and put together my family background. My nan (Betty June Yow) was born in 1924 and I know she lived in Surry Hills, Sydney before moving to newcastle. Her first husband was Neville . If anyone knows any information that could assist me in the discovery of my family history or where I should start to look would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, my nan's naiden name was also yow and she lived in surrey hills with my grandfather Neville. She left when my mother was 5 I never met her. Wondering if she ever told you that she left behind my mother and two other brothers, Barry and Neville, mum was 5 at the time but your nan did take the baby, Michael with her. My mum found her in Newcastle in the 70's was the last time she saw her. My mum has always wondered about Michael and her other half siblings as betty remarried. Would love to know more.

Hi Julie,

It's great to get a reply from you. That is my nan that you are talking about. My mum Maree is my Nan's daughter from her second marriage.. Do you have an email that she could have.? I spoke to her on the phone about your reply and she would love to share any information you would like, aswell as ask some questions. My mum doesn't know much about her mums (Betty) family history. I have tried to research information for her and have come to a stand still. She was aware of my nan having a previous family although she doesn't know much information. If you want to send me your email instead of posting on here that would be great. My email is c3082665@uon.edu.au

Thanks kindly
Sally

Hi Sally, so we're cousins :) I have the same problem as you, my mum is very sketchy on the facts too. My mum has three brothers, 2 (Barry and Neville),stayed with her and her dad Neville and one that went with your grandmother, Michael (was a baby at the time). My email is julie.h.is@hotmail.com
