  • The Hydrogeological Context of Cemetery Operations and Planning in Australia
    THE HYDROGEOLOGICAL CONTEXT OF CEMETERY OPERATIONS AND PLANNING IN AUSTRALIA by Boyd B.

I also certify that the thesis has been written by me. Any help that I have received in my research work and the preparation of the thesis itself has been acknowledged. In addition, I certify that all information sources and literature used are indicated in the thesis. Signature of Candidate i Abstract The Hydrogeological Context of Cemetery Operations and Planning In Australia by Boyd B. Dent The purpose of this research has been to evaluate the potential contamination impact of cemeteries on groundwater. A comprehensive study of the groundwaters in the unsaturated and saturated zones of nine Australian cemeteries has been made, with most sampling between October 1996 and August 1998. Periodic sampling from 83 wells or ponds yielded 305 complete samples which were tested for at least 38 inorganic and 5 bacterial analytes. Other, partially complete samples were used for metals and bacterial analyses. The soils of all sites were tested for a range of analytes that might reflect or affect the presence of human decomposition products. The within-cemetery sampling has allowed inorganic chemical characterisation of cemetery groundwaters to an amount of detail not previously attained.

It is a record of the colourful characters and individuals who have contributed so much to the development of our City. This entertaining booklet paints a picture of a community that is proud of its past and positive about its future; a community that welcomes and embraces people whose luck in life has run out and a community that includes many, very successful businesses and individuals. The Historic South West Corner booklet is a project initiated by the South West Community Network. The Network was instigated and is supported by Adelaide City Council. The Council encourages active engagement of local communities in City life and in making decisions about their neighbourhood. A method of accomplishing this is through the development of local projects such as the production of this booklet. The booklet presents a history of the South West Corner of the City that will inspire people to think of this area as an interesting place to live, work and visit. I hope that you will enjoy reading this exciting, factual and humorous account of how the South West community of the past created a great community spirit of the present.

I consider it a great privilege to continue to serve as the Chair of the Centennial Park Board for another year. The tail end of this financial year has certainly brought challenges, but we were still able to celebrate many achievements throughout the year. This year Centennial Park recorded a deficit of $451K, significantly better than the budget, and after distributing a liability guarantee fee of $636K to our owner councils. A deficit was budgeted in anticipation of the introduction of new accounting standards that require a significant portion of the income received from Interment Rights to be deferred and brought to account over the entire period of the Interment Right. A commitment to sound financial discipline ensured that Centennial Park delivered a better result than budgeted, despite the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Centennial Park is an important place for our community and those with loved ones resting here. It is not just a place of mourning. It is a place that connects people through beautiful gardens, services, events and stories. The leadership team at Centennial Park continue their work to future-proof the Park to ensure it meets the needs of our families and the broader community.

  • Special Risks
    OF z o ) tn I Before you began your travels you were told how essential it was to define your intended role. Were you going to be a tourist, or an explorer, or an infiltrator? Those are choices that confront anyone arriving at a new place. Each bears its special risks. Robert Silverberg (Trips) Special Risks by Tony Bugeja Special Risks For hundreds of years the Mediterranean Sea was a half-forgotten lake. There were Naval skirmishes on its waters every few decades. These encounters are recorded in history as battles and have grand sounding names. Some may have influenced the balance of power in Europe, but most were a waste of gunpowder. During these centuries sea trade was conducted by extended families with little interference and no documentation. Then everything changed. The Book of Beglnnings. We returned from Malta in 1947. London was cold and foggy, and everybody seemed weary. I went to a school that had been half demolished by a flying bomb four years previously and the building was still unrepaired. Returning soldiers searched for family homes and found vacant lots. People travelled to work on buses and trains that were so under-maintained that they could no longer keep to time- tables. Broken window panes were replaced with cardboard, and paint was allowed to peel. England's green and pleasant land was brown and dirty. Our home was a room that led out into a back alley; but in that street there was colour and action, and the rebirth of glamour. The lane fronted the stage entrance to a theatre.

  • The Knott Family Were Involved In
    THE FAMILY OF GEORGE KNOTT IN AUSTRALASIA FROM 1874 Introduction: The history of the Knott (also spelt Nott, Note and Nuth in English) family dates back many hundreds of years. In the 7 th century a person with the name Cnotta was used in England to describe a thickset person. There are early recorded names in England with a name which resembles the form we know. One was Robert Cnot, a Knight Templer (Crusader) in 1185. The name also has German (spelt Knothe, Knaute, Knode, Knotel, Knodgen ) and Scandinavian origins (spelt Knudsen, Knutsen and Knutsson). By the middle ages it could also be used to describe a person who lived near a hill or projecting rock as the word knott was used to describe a hillock. By 1740, when I found the earliest of our forebears, the name Knott was relatively common across areas of England. Our family came from Kent in the south east of England and were largely agricultural labourers. KENT ENGLAND: 1740: Birth of James Knott. He married a lady called Mary and they had a son they named John in 1761. 1787: On the 20 th May of this year John Knott married Judith Maley in Dartford Kent. 1803: Birth of Richard Knott, the father of George Knott who was to immigrate to South Australia. 1825-27: Somewhere around this time Richard Knott married Mary Overton and they had their first child in 1827. They went on to have 7 children, 6 boys and a girl with our forbear, George Knott born at Wingham Kent around 1831.

It's very important to do your homework in US records BEFORE trying to identify your Irish immigrant in Irish records. (See Searching US Records for Your Irish Ancestors at http://www.rochesteriaci.org/) What’s the problem with searching Irish records? Irish records usually require knowledge of specific geographic info for your family (County NOT enough). o Solution: Use US records to discover specific geographic info for your family in Ireland All Irish families seem to use the same group of names for their children. o Solution: Use US records to develop a knowledge base of “identifiers” about your family and especially your immigrant ancestor.
