Just seen trailer on 'The One Show', looks like an interesting new twist on the family history programmes. |

The historian's team would have had to do proper research to verify the family tree. They could not just accept the daughter's tree as correct. As we know many of the trees on the internet are poorly researched. |

I enjoyed it but am I mistaken in my belief that the Ogilvie family was not descended from Caroline but from the child of the man she married and his first wife? |

I thought the same as you, Joy...but I too could be mistaken :-). I thought the Ogilvie children were descended from Jimmy, Caroline's stepson. As far as I can recall Caroline only had one surviving child from her first marriage, Sarah and that there were no children from her second marriage, they just said that "the two families merged". |

I thought they were descended from Sarah but I have to admit it was very confusing. :-S :-S :-S |

Will watch it again when I come back in but it would not surprise me if the Tassie descendants were indeed not Caroline's but simply used by the programme-makers to indicate the contrast between the NSW descendants of the other sister to produce more of an 'ooh-aah' factor. |

So now you know just why Australia is such a pain in the butt. The one thing better than being a descendent of the squatters is to have a rellie from Van Dieman's Land. Sydney and even worse Melbourne make SW London feel like a an basis of equality and democracy. |

I must admit I did find the programme a bit |

I also found the programme confusing as it kept "jumping" around from the historical to the recent |

So ..... did the squatterocracy rule in Oz? |

Started off well enough, but found it increasingly boring. Won't be watching again. |
