addicted to trove

Have been finding out awesome things about my ancestors from searching the digitized newspapers in trove. I have found (most exciting of all) a photo of my G.G.G. grandmother. No mean feat considering she was born in 1791. Have also found a lost relative that really did get lost, miners that struck a rich load, a bigamist. Read about losing homes to bush fires and floods, motorbike accidents, falls from horses, treks across to the Bendigo digging and being there at the time of the Eureka stockade, and just so much more. Truly amazing. And it's all in the newspapers.
