Hi Lauren,
What you say is absolutely right about searching overseas for records of
ancestors, as many families do have siblings in the USA, Britain and
Australia and New Zealand etc. Records have been accumalated by researches
who have visited the old country and quite often take a lot of the hardness
out of the task of looking amongst massive amounts of records in the main
offices in the UK etc. The National Library of Australia is one such place.
I have yet to have the pleasure of going there. I know it has very old
Irish Newspapaers which give the account of Irish convicts and their trials
etc, so I am looking forward to that.

"THE VIEW FROM CAPE OTWAY LIGHTHOUSE, AUSTRALIA,"
by Sherry Irvine, B.A., CGRS, FSA Scot
====================================================================
Towards the end of my recent trip to New Zealand and Australia I
stood atop the Cape Otway lighthouse looking out over the Bass Strait
and the Southern Ocean. I enjoyed the view and reflected for some
minutes on the long voyage from Britain. Also, I thought back to some
of the things I learned in the previous few days when I was attending
the 10th Australasian Congress on Genealogy and Heraldry in
Melbourne.
AN AUSTRALIAN CONNECTION?
There is a congress every three years and I have been fortunate
enough to attend the last two. Each time I absorb more history and
genealogy and something new makes an impression on me. This time it
has been migration, the long journey (perhaps because we were thirty
hours traveling home), and records in Australia. Many of these
records are excellent and more helpful than what is commonly
consulted by genealogists in the USA and Canada. Chatting with staff
at the Genealogical Society of Victoria (GSV) and with others at the
Congress, I realized that, for some of us facing brick walls in
Canada and the USA, the route to finding British origins might come
through an Australian connection.
It is not unusual to discover that brothers and sisters ended up in
different countries. Whether or not this is known to be the case, it
can be argued that there is good reason to look among informative
finding aids and records in Australia. Distance research is a bigger
factor for them. Flying to the UK or Salt Lake City to do research is
a major decision and, as a result, some wonderful resources have been
created. Some were demonstrated to me in the GSV library. The best
way for you to explore the resources is to look at websites, study
catalogs, and consult a remarkable account of Australian records.
The book is the recently revised "Tracing Your Family History in
Australia" (3rd edition, 2002), written by Nick Vine Hall. It comes
with a companion volume devoted entirely to bibliography. The author
comments that he has now devoted twenty-five years to keeping this
publication up-to-date, longer than any sentence served by a convict.
"Tracing Your Family History in Australia" will help remove the
mystery about what you are searching. Following several introductory
chapters on topics like population, immigration, and major
repositories, it approaches the records geographically. Every state
and territory has a section and all records are described, with their
indexes and finding aids, according to forty-one headings. The style
is easy and informal, the information invaluable. The intent is to
record resources, both published and unpublished, with strong
emphasis on their finding aids. It guides both the planning and the
search for an Australian connection, and it can be used as a
checklist against such things as resources in the Family History
Library, at the FamilySearch website, and categorized within Cyndi's
List.
MORE ABOUT CAPE OTWAY
It was a beautiful, sunny, early autumn afternoon when I was there; I
found it difficult to imagine making the approach to this spot on a
stormy night in a sailing ship, not having seen land for weeks. The
lighthouse and its beam must have conveyed much more than a message
of warning to those who saw it.
The lighthouse was constructed in 1847-1848. The dangers of this
point of land had been recognized right from the discovery of the
strait in 1798 but dense forest and difficult terrain long delayed
any attempt to build. The completion of the lighthouse coincided
approximately with other significant events--the discovery of gold in
Australia (1851), the beginning of regular steamship sailings (the
Great Eastern made her first voyage in 1852) and the adoption of the
great circle route to Australia. Ships altered their track to a
faster route and passed well south of the Cape of Good Hope; they
might see no more than a few rocky islands between Britain and Cape
Otway. For thousands of people, Cape Otway became their gateway to a
new life.
The old light has been replaced by something about the size of a
flashlight bulb, the lighthouse is open to visitors, and the entire
site is within a national park. The former residences of the keeper
and his assistants serve modern purposes as exhibit rooms and a cafe.
Though a peaceful place today, it does draw attention to the storms
and hazards of a long sea voyage. Also, it leaves me reflecting on
the possibilities of finding Australian cousins. I would like that.

Dear Listers:
I am pleased to announce the launching of the Clark-DNA list.
The purpose of this list is to provide a forum for the free discussion of and exchange of
information about any and all Clark DNA projects, no matter the spelling or location of
participants, nor focus of the particular project. Variants of the Clark surname, and
therefor DNA projects, can include, but are not limited to: Clark, Clarke, LeClerc,
LeClerk, Clerc, Clerk, Clerke, etc., and may also find connections with the Irish
surnames: Cleary, Clery, Cleare, Clearey, Clary, Claree, Clarey, McCleary, McCleery,
MacCleary, MacCleery, McClarey, O'Cleary, O'Cleery and probably others.
This list provides for a wider range of discussion re genetic genealogy
and in more depth than may be afforded on most surname or locality lists. One nice thing
about the Clark-DNA list is that all those subscribed share an interest in genetic
genealogy! This new list looks to compliment, not supplant, your experience on the
surname and locality lists.
To subscribe send the command "subscribe" to
CLARK-DNA-L-request(a)rootsweb.com
or for the digest version:
send the command "subscribe" to
CLARK-DNA-D-request(a)rootsweb.com

"HONORING OUR ANCESTORS: SEEKING FOREIGN WAR LETTERS,"
by Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak
=====================================================================
He's at it again. Andrew Carroll, best-selling author of "Letters of
a Nation" and "War Letters," and founder of the Legacy Project, which
collects and preserves wartime correspondence, is launching another
initiative. (See previous articles at:
http://www.ancestry.com/rd/prodredir.asp?sourceid=831&key=A511901 and
http://www.ancestry.com/rd/prodredir.asp?sourceid=831&key=A578201 )
And this project is one that's especially appropriate to discuss as
we approach Memorial Day.
AROUND THE WORLD IN EIGHT MONTHS
Starting in August, he's beginning an eight-month, 25-nation trip to
seek out war letters written by and to foreign troops. What prompted
this? Andy explains:
"The Legacy Project (LP) focuses on American war letters. Since 1998,
people have sent me an estimated 75,000 pieces of war correspondence
from every conflict in U.S. history, ranging from (photocopies of)
handwritten missives from the American Revolution to emails from
Iraq.
"As I have traveled around the U.S. speaking with veterans and active
duty personnel, they have repeatedly asked me if I would ever
consider seeking out letters by troops from other nations. Service
members emphasize that they, personally, would be interested to learn
how major wars have been perceived through the eyes of both allies
(for example, Russians in WWII, South Koreans in the Korean War,
Australians serving in Iraq, etc.) and our former enemies (the
Germans in the two World Wars, the North Vietnamese, etc.). The
veterans I talked with made a special point of saying that they
recognized many of their 'enemies' were young kids like themselves
who simply wanted to get home alive.
"The Legacy Project has already received a handful of incredible
foreign war letters, which were shared with us by the American-born
children of veterans from other countries. I thought it would be
great to expand on what we have by putting the word out in the States
and, most important, traveling the world to search for more letters.
On the trip, I also intend to set up efforts similar to the Legacy
Project in other countries. They, like the U.S., are losing their
veterans--and an important part of their history--on a daily basis."
"As with the 75,000 letters the LP has already received, the
international war correspondence will be donated to a respected
museum or archive. Some of the most moving, thought-provoking,
dramatic, unexpected, amusing, or otherwise exceptional ones may also
be featured in another book and possibly a documentary (although
nothing is used without permission from the contributor)."
A CHANCE TO HONOR THE VETERANS IN YOUR FAMILY
Although Andy will be taking this extended trip to gather such
letters, it's not necessary to wait until August to submit copies or
transcriptions of any you might have in your personal collection.
This is a unique opportunity to humanize warfare through the words of
those who have endured it firsthand, as well as a fitting way to pay
tribute to the veterans and active duty personnel in your family by
ensuring that their words and experiences will be captured for
posterity.
And we, as genealogists, know how important this is. In fact,
previous articles about the LP in "Ancestry Daily News" generated
more responses from readers than stories in national newspapers and
magazines. Let's keep our reputation intact and our loved ones'
memories preserved by supporting the Legacy Project's latest
initiative!
BUT DOES IT APPLY TO ME?
You may be thinking, "But they're looking for war letters by
foreigners and my grandfather was American." I know from the emails I
receive that many readers are from around the globe, so this project
may be of particular interest to you and I especially hope you will
participate. But while it's true that emphasis is being placed on
letters from the international community, the LP is continuing to
accept American letters too (and is especially interested in letters
and emails from Iraq). And if you think about it, many who have
served for the U.S. were born elsewhere.
All war-related letters pertaining to a conflict in which the U.S.
was involved in some significant way qualify. These include the
American Revolution, the Civil War, the War of 1812, the Spanish-
American War, the Philippines, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf
War, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Operation Iraqi Freedom, etc.
I know that those in my own family who served in the Civil War were
all born in Ireland. Michael Strank, one of those commemorated in the
famous Iwo Jima Memorial, emigrated to the U.S. from what is now
Slovakia. These are just a couple of examples. I suspect that with a
little consideration, we would discover that a surprising number of
Americans' military heroes were foreign-born.
And the letters don't have to be from actual combatants. Just to be
clear, here are some additional details to give you an idea of what
the Legacy Project is seeking:
--- Letters and emails written by soldiers, as well as those written
to them by their loved ones at home
--- Letters from civilians (e.g., the British in London during the
Blitz, Germans in Dresden, Kuwaitis during the 1990 invasion, New
Yorkers during 9/11, etc.)
--- Letters from other non-combatants such as nurses and members of
peacekeeping forces
--- Letters from foreign-born war brides of American service
personnel
--- Letters between veterans from different countries who have
corresponded after they returned home are especially appreciated.
(There are many moving stories of former enemies who wrote to one
another and ultimately became friends.)
In short, the odds are very good that this project applies to your
family regardless of where you may be reading these words.
HOW DO I PARTICIPATE?
If you have some letters you'd like to submit, please copy the
original and/or make a typed transcript. If a letter is in a language
other than English, the LP would appreciate it if you could send a
translation, but it's not a requirement. And if you're certain you
don't have letters to share, you can help the LP with this historic
initiative by simply spreading the word in your community or online.
You can email submissions to mailto:WarLetterProject@aol.com or mail
them to, The Legacy Project, P.O. Box 53250, Washington, D.C. 20009.
For more information about the history of the LP, go to:
http://www.warletters.com. Everything goes directly to Andy, and
again, nothing is used without permission.
If you're American, why not steal a few quiet moments this Memorial
Day to make a copy of that letter written by your German-born great-
great-great-great-grandfather during the Revolutionary War or your
Mexican-born uncle in Korea? And if you're the proud citizen of any
other country, I ask you even more fervently to consider sending a
copy of that letter about your grandfather's service in Gallipoli or
your son's involvement in Bosnia. Andy would also welcome ideas on
military museums, archives, memorials, and other important places he
should visit as he travels the globe. A few minutes' effort by many
of us can go a long way to ensuring that the contributions of our
loved ones will become a part of our all of our nations' recorded
history.

You may be interested in looking at the Website for the Society of
Genealogists. they do have quite a few Parishes recorded and you can click
on Parish and then the intial fo r a county. I had a look and they do have
quite a few Ipswich Church records including St Margarets. Many more, so
maybe a baptism took place at one of those.

I have a Holy Bible inscribed to Benjamin B Clark, April 19, 1887. The first
page says S.S. Teacher's Edition, appointed to be read in Churches.
Inside: To the Most High and Mighty Prince James, By the Grace of God, King
of Great Britain, Frances and Ireland, Defender of the Faith,
I bought this bible and 3 others thru Ebay. This was the only book inscribed
and since I have a Clark ancestry, I could not pass up the opportunity to
have this bible which must have belonged to a clergyman.
Does anyone have a Benjamin that fits?

Some of my favorite places to search.
There are well over 2 million search results for the surname CLARK on
Rootsweb.com and Ancestry.com. In the WorldConnect database alone there are
over 631,000 CLARKS listed. In Virginia alone, where my CLARKS are located
there are over 9,000 CLARKS.
Have you tried www.gencircles.com? If not, for CLARKS there are results of
almost 108,000 in various gedcoms there. For Virginia CLARKS there over
2500 CLARKS.
And http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp is also a
good place to do searching.
I hope someone gets some use out of these. Does anyone out there have a
favorite place to search that has helped them make a connection?

About a year ago, my brother and I responded to the message below for a
Clark(e) DNA Study. The results are in for a number of Clark(e) lines, but
more participants would certainly make the study more meaningful. I
mentioned to Linda Starr the recent activity on the Clark(e) lists at
Rootsweb - in particular on the Virginia families, and asked if this might be
the time to ask for volunteers once again. This message forwarded with
permission from Linda Starr:
We are searching for volunteers for a DNA study of colonial CLARK(e)
immigrants. We are especially interested in those who arrived in Virginia,
but welcome descendants from ALL Clarke immigrants. We need males, who
descend from males all along the line from the colonial immigrant. The
cost per test is $99 for a study of 12 DNA markers and $159 for 21 markers.
All that is required is a swab of saliva from the inside cheek, payment for
the test, and a pedigree chart showing your line of descent. For those of
you facing brickwalls with your CLARK(e) ancestry, this is an opportunity
to possibly find which family you belong to. Or to rule out which ones you
don't belong with. Volunteers will personally be notified of how their
results 'fit' in with our other findings and the results of tests will be
available on a webpage.
For more information or to volunteer contact the project coordinator,
