Richard Ridge book wins Don Grant Award
An update on my last post: my book Richard Ridge: Convict, Trader and Bailiff in Early Colonial NSW has won this year's Don Grant Award, presented by the Family History Connections group in Melbourne.
The judges described the Ridge book as ‘the model of how a biography of an ancestor should be written’. It goes well beyond genealogy, as the life of a man born 260 years ago in Oxfordshire reveals m Read more of this blog post »

| It was a treat to read this book, portraying so accurately the invisibility of older women, and the way women of quite different backgrounds interact with each other, finding ways to get along and work together. Let's put women in charge of the world ...more | |
