G is for...
- Gypsies. The Romany and Traveller Family History Society is dedicated to researching British Romany Gypsy, Traveller and Fairground ancestors.
- GENUKI. The huge GENUKI Web site is the best starting point for genealogy in the UK and Ireland.
- Gold Coast. Somerville Funerals undertakers records include overseas and interstate residents who died while holidaying on the Gold Coast (Queensland, Australia). The records give name, age, dates of birth/death/burial, where from, cause of death, next of kin and other remarks. Names from 1965-1983 have been indexed by the Gold Coast Family History Society. (This is an extract from the book Specialist Indexes in Australia: a Genealogist's Guide, which is described on my Web site.)
You will find more tips for family history in my other articles in this series. If the information and advice is useful, have a look at this page.
Now who would have ever thought they'd see the words: Gypsies, GENUKI and Gold Coast in the same sentence? What a fabulous combination, and each has wonderful records. I still use the GENUKI site whenever I get a chance to do my own research.
