I went to the Time Travellers’ Picnic again today, last year I went as a hippy. This year I chose Doctor Who and based my costume on Tom Baker’s Doctor who I watched growing up.
Rymill Park, Adelaide, South Australia
Fellow Time Travellers From Many Eras
It was too hot for the iconic Tom Baker scarf so I went for the tie instead
O to have my own TARDIS so that I could go back and observe my family through time and also visit so many historical moments!

Elizabeth Scadden nee Hayward my great grandmother, in later years.
The Scaddens lived at Houghton in the Adelaide Hills in South Australia. It is a beautiful area.

I came across this fun blog post, What Kind of Genealogist Are You?, today on Facebook via Gould Genealogy.
My husband and I are very different genealogists. I love research. I love the challenge of the hunt, the mystery waiting to be solved. I’ll research anyone’s ancestry just to have the thrill of following the clues. I just love solving the puzzle. Of course I also love finding my own ancestors! by Lorine McGinnis Schultz
Lorine writes about several types of genealogist, I think I am a Hunter/Detective and a bit of an Analyser too. I would like to be more of a Planner and completing the University of Tasmania’s Introduction to Family History has certainly helped me and pointed me in the right direction.
Read Lorine’s blog post and choose what kind of genealogist you are.
It was only because I noticed a Mr G. Buring listed on the passenger list, at the South Australian Maritime Museum, for the Princess Louise that I found my 3x great uncle Gustav Ferdinand Buring. He wasn’t listed on any other passenger lists that I had found. In finding Gustav I was then able to find his parents and make the connection back to the family in Germany.

I was recently contact by Ian from Bendigo Graves to find out if the Gustave Buring buried in the Raywood Cemetery, Victoria was one of my ancestors. When I confirmed that Gustav is my 3x great uncle, Ian asked if I could write a short piece about him. This is what I wrote;
Gustav Ferdinand Buring
b 9 Jul 1824
Berlin, Prussia
Gustav Ferdinand Buring was born on 9 July 1824, to Charlotte Klauser and Johann Andreas Buring/Biering and was baptised on 05 Aug 1824 • Sankt Georgen, Berlin Stadt, Brandenburg, Prussia1.
In 1849 as part of the South Australian Colonisation Society Gustav, with his brother Friedrich Adolph Buring and his family, left Hamburg on the Princess Louise bound for South Australia2.

There is no record or indication that Gustav ever married.
I have been unable to ascertain exactly when Gustav went to the Victorian gold fields from South Australia. Gustav’s brother Friedrich went also however Friedrich returned to South Australia when he became ill and died in South Australia on 3 Dec 18563 at 40 years old.
Gustav died in 1880 in Raywood, Victoria, Australia.
Gustav is the uncle of Theodor Gustav Hermann Buring of H. Buring and Sobels Quelltaler Winery and great uncle of Hermann Paul Leopold Buring better known as Leo Buring. http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/buring-hermann-paul-leopold-leo-3333

When I have found a result in the Trove digitised newspapers which I need to keep this is what I do:
