Hi All,
The section at the bottom of the page for getting a badge and putting it on another page to show the Genwise site won't work for me.

Any suggestions…

- Hi Sandra,
I've been using Dynastree to constuct our family-tree, with much help from cousins. It's all very much a new thing for me. I found a great-great grand-aunt of mine, Ellen Ahearn (b.1852) went to Richmond, VIC via Cornwall and had married a Jacob Francis. She died in 1934. I think they had two children, Jacob Dennis Francis (b.1889) and Ellen Francis (b.1891).
Ellen Ahearn (of Tournafulla, near the Limerick/Kerry border), had a sister, Mary, (b.1851, though I have no information about her), and a brother, James (b.1855) who married Bridget Casey (b.1865). This is where my part of the tree branches down from.
I wouldn't mind expanding my knowledge of Ellens' branch, primarily because, coincedently, I was in Richmond two months ago while on my honeymoon trip to Australia. I have a cousin, also a great-great grand-nephew of Ellen Ahearn-Francis who is living on Cubitt Streeet, Richmond now. Small world!
Merry Christmas,
Brian Lenehan
