Hello Everyone.
 After our NSW Yamba Reunion 2010 I surfed around and found that this family tree site is the most  user friendly and it has the newsletter and great charts.
 Any relations please feel free to add photos stories etc please look at the summary I wrote about  my husband Joe.
 Also especially please note any relevant medical conditions in the notes as this may be relevant  to future generations.

 Reading the" Arundells Forging ahead" book that my sister Carmel leant me by Pam Arundell (Victoria) I have already found that my Great great Grandmother Ellen Fitzgerald died of carcinoma  of the stomach. Pam states that this is on her death certificate pg 20. Talking to my aunts i also  think my grandmother also had a similar problem. This i would like further knowledge of. Then there is a history of diverticulitus that I have running in the family as well with my aunts  and my grandfather Pa bill. The weakness in the bowel lining can be a genetic trait. It is good to see that some i sent invites to have already viewed and added middle names etc...

The 2022 Reunion

Well we have had the 2022 Reunion.It happened at last after being postponed in 2020 and again in 2021 due to the Covid virus and restrictions, lockdowns and the risk especially to our elderly relatives. A wonderful time was had by all that attended. The weather was kind to us and it was great together and meet up with rellies and meet new relatives that we hadn’t yet met. I was able to put actual faces to internet relatives that I had communicated on Facebook with but not met in person.
To those who haven’t been to a reunion yet it is the descendants of the 10 children of John and Elizabeth Arundell . These 10 families we call clans. My grandfather William or Bill we call PaBill was one of the brothers that moved away from the Terang, Noorat area to NSW and bought a farm at WEJA a small rural area in Western NSW. Most of the other siblings stayed in Victoria and many of the generations still live in the surrounding areas, such as Warnambool. Some have moved further a field to Melbourne We had relatives travel to the reunion from QLD , South Australia and there was 10 from NSW. 
My Uncle Kevin( John Kevin) Arundell 90 who had only recently sadly buried his wife attended accompanied by his son Timothy Arundell and Daughter Kate from Sydney . My sisters Kathleen and Naomi and Naomi son Aj also travelled from Sydney.
