Genealogy Information

This section contains information provided by others that is of general interest. Check it out under 

As well as this there is also a books section at

Unique Ancestors

Along the way of collecting information on my ancestry I observed that there was a very interesting phenomena occurring with regard to the number of unique ancestors that were appearing out of the multitude of actual ones. This caused me to closely examine the data I had available, and to develop a theory regarding their distribution. I posted this information to the soc.genealogy.medieval newsgroup, the recently updated details of which can be found under 

Cumberland Family Software

Racing Cars

My main interests in this area cover two home grown vehicles. The first one I helped design and build, and the other belongs to a friend and neighbour. These vehicles are:-

• DBF1300 . This is a specialised Hillclimb single seater racing car, owned and driven by John Davies. The car competes in the Australian 1300 cc class and has been very successful over a number of years now. It has been an exciting and rewarding experience to have followed the car from inception to success.  Check it out at 
• Merlin Streamliner . This is a special Streamliner Motorcycle initially powered by a 5 litre supercharged V-twin engine derived from the Rolls Royce V12 Merlin of WWII fame, but currently by a 5 litre V8 Ford engine. It is contesting the Motorcycle Land Speed Record and currentl;y holds an Australian class record. Lucky Keizer is the designer and builder of this rather special vehicle.  Look at details through    

Software

As a purely recreational programmer, I have written a number of small DOS and Windows programs to support my hobbies. These include a few utility programs, some technical ones to assist with the design of car suspensions and engine performance, and yet others to help with my genealogy obsession. I have made some of these freely available for download through
