The Gardner Annals, Vol. II

The second issue of this volume is under preparation. One article will be a review of Susan Hollingworth's book: Through One Family's Eyes.


It is about the half of John's family which left Ireland in the mid-1800s. The Irish siblings ended up in the U. S. and in Australia. Additionally, there is information about related colonial families.

As well, we will be looking at Dr. Frank and his work in order to complete the research effort that has been ongoing. With Dr. Frank being used to represent Samuel, we would like to feature a descendant of each of the other children of Thomas and Margaret from about the same time frame  (born late 1800s).

Note: 

An article referenced on FB that had a nautical theme caught our interests. See post, Water and Air. It told an old story with unknown provenance which is like much what we find nowadays. Going forward, we need to balance technology and discernment carefully. Per usual, we went looking further and saw the British reference which we are all more sensitive to with the passing of Queen Elizabeth III. Too, we were looking for Gardner family connections. That brought up the opportunity to make the collateral families topic more prominent which brought up the book as it has references to persons with nautical experience. Too, the English history, as we know, is long shared, by we Irish folks.  

So, some additional information is in order - TGA II: III. Reviews, III-A. Book: Through One Family’s Eyes. We want to help further this work.
