  • Over the Years the Fife Family History Society Journal Has Reviewed Many Published Fife Family Histories
    PUBLISHED FAMILY HISTORIES [Over the years The Fife Family History Society Journal has reviewed many published Fife family histories. We have gathered them all together here, and will add to the file as more become available. Many of the family histories are hard to find, but some are still available on the antiquarian market. Others are available as Print on Demand; while a few can be found as Google books] GUNDAROO (1972) By Errol Lea-Scarlett, tells the story of the settlement of the Township of Gundaroo in the centre of the Yass River Valley of NSW, AUS, and the families who built up the town. One was William Affleck (1836-1923) from West Wemyss, described as "Gundaroo's Man of Destiny." He was the son of Arthur Affleck, grocer at West Wemyss, and Ann Wishart, and encourged by letters from the latter's brother, John (Joseph Wiseman) Wishart, the family emigrated to NSW late in October 1854 in the ship, "Nabob," with their children, William and Mary, sole survivors of a family of 13, landing at Sydney on 15 February 1855. The above John Wishart, alias Joseph Wiseman, the son of a Fife merchant, had been convicted of forgery in 1839 and sentenced to 14 years transportation to NSW. On obtaining his ticket of leave in July 1846, he took the lease of the Old Harrow, in which he established a store - the "Caledonia" - and in 1850 added to it a horse-powered mill at Gundaroo some 18 months later. He was the founder of the family's fortunes, and from the 1860s until about 1900 the Afflecks owned most of the commercial buildings in the town.

Editor and Serbian Month Programme Director Maya Jordan Assistant Editor Olga Stanojlović PR in Serbia Natasha Kocsis Social Media Stan Smiljanić Art Design Uroš Džunić The Serbian Month Catalogue was first produced in 2018 to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Serbian Month in Great Britain. It was such a success that we felt it should be a regular feature of Serbian Month promoting a greater understanding of the Serbian community in Britain all year round. This year the Round Table agreed that there should be a theme to Serbian Month and the catalogue each year. This year’s theme is British Serbs which will give us a chance to find out more about Serbian communities around Britain, their histories and how they have developed over the years. Now in its thirteenth year Serbian Month in Great Britain is recognised as one of the most significant festivals of Serbian arts and culture in the Serbian Diaspora, showcasing the artists from Serbia and the British Serbian artists.
