One hundred years ago, Georgie G. MacGillivray traveled to Tasmania with her sister, brother-in-law, and their two children. She would be nanny to the family while James William Fraser served as engineer to a hydro-electric plant project. I will post entries coinciding with their 100 year anniversary. Journal entries will begin August 3, 2012. Prior to that I will post background information on Georgie, James, other family members, and related topics.

What is TROVE?
TROVE is part of the National Library of Australia. It is a free search engine for pictures, articles, maps, family data, anything one might
search for about Australia, and in my case Tasmania, especially when on the other side of the world! Newspaper
articles have been digitized and then electronically translated. So
there is a good chance one might just have to correct the text manually
to actually make it useful. However, in all the internet research I have done on this journal, I've not found any other similar resource anywhere.
