It’s been quite some time since we’ve posted. Tracy and I were lucky enough to travel extensively in South Africa this summer, and since then we’ve been back at home and busy moving new projects along. But we have not forgotten the blog, and will return with some fascinating stories in a very short time.
In the meanwhile, I wanted to share a nice little mention of The Cowkeeper’s Wish that appeared earlier this month on the Queensland Genealogical Society’s blog. How lovely to think that our family story is traveling the world. It just shows how widely family history can resonate, and how it can be social history as well.
The book was mentioned as one of the blogger’s current top five go-to books for genealogy. “A compelling tale. … The book was written by two sisters who delved into their family’s past with little more than a collection of yellowed photographs and a basic family tree – much like what the rest of us have when we begin our genealogical journey. The book is exceptionally well referenced … a very good read.”
Those interested in the subject might like a peek at the other four picks as well: visit “What’s in my genealogy library.”
See you here again very soon!

I commented but as usual got stumped.

The praise is unique. Love it!

They don’t mention zebra, and aren’t based in Australia, but they’re authentically South African and I have a feeling you’ll thoroughly enjoy at least one! 😊🙏 These are the Mzansi Shorts, fictional short stories about life in South Africa:
