Ashes Scattering
Dad requested that his ashes by scattered in Middle Harbour. It took a while for most of us to get together and to fulfil Dad’s wish but we did so on the 24th August. We gathered at Middle Harbour Yacht Club around midday, merged some of Dad’s and Mum’s ashes into an old family urn that had been used to scatter the ashes of Dad’s grandfather in 1939, and then cast them into Middle Harbour from the end of the northern marina. Most appropriate.
We then adjourned for a family lunch to celebrate Dad and Mum.

Genealogy Software
For the last few years I’ve been using, on and off, MacFamilyTree. I found though that it doesn’t seem to handle dates in a consistent manner and the kinship report was quite a bit wonky in the relationships it reported.
So I gave iFamily for Leopard a trial for the last 10 days.
Very glad I did. For me, the way I use software, iFamily for Leopard seems to fit a lot more comfortably and so I will be buying a license, if and when PayPal stops timing out that is. USD $29.95 seems good value to me.
