Well, COVID has settled in and we are looking at undertaking some research into our daughter-in-law's paternal ancestry to pass onto our Grandchildren.
Thus far we have found three Irish family names in the Hunter Valley near Maitland. John KEYS, a convict, Bernard and James CAVENAGH and Myles KELLY. Roberta is looking through what has been found and preparing appropriate telling of their lives, while I will be looking at any Land Records that may assist us in our research.
