Photos from the newspapers

So many stories of ancestors and relatives are mentioned in the newspapers of the past. During April 2020 for the A - Z blog challenge, I am listing the types of stories or information I have found in newspapers with examples for each letter of the alphabet. My clippings include a variety of articles about relatives of my children's ancestors.

In the 1800s many Passenger lists were published in the newspapers as the ships arrived in port. In Trove I have found many Probate notices and Property transactions. Reports of school or church Picnics list the races and activities of the day. Sometimes one may be lucky enough to find some photos in the newspapers. This post showcases a few of the Galvin Photos found.

Liked Qld courtesy  - Finishes holiday

Homeward-bound to day after a week's stay in Brisbane is Mrs. J. M. Galvin, wife of Federal Conciliation Commissioner Galvin. Mrs. Galvin who comes from Melbourne, is honorary secretary of the Victorian Association of  Benevolent Societies. She has also helped to raise big sums of money for Melbourne hospitals.

 'We have no lottery down there to help out the hospitals,' she said last night. 

Her main impression of Brisbane was the courtesy of its people — 'they are much- more courteous than in the south,' she said.
