I originally shared this post on the Lake Macquarie Family History Group Blog in 2020. As a subject of the post was born in Carey Bay I thought it fitting to add it to this site on what would be his 106th Birthday.

Slowly, very slowly, I am adding profiles of people with a connection to Carey Bay to the Wikitree site.
This morning I added the 100th profile for Harriet Webb nee Wheatley. Harriet's profile can be accessed here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Wheatley-3526.
A list of all the Carey People added so far to Wikitree can be accessed via the Carey Bay Category on Wikitree. Follow the link and scroll down the page to see the list of local profiles.
I'd love to hear from you if you can supply any further information on or photos of the People and Places of Carey Bay.

Carey Bay 13 May 2025 |
I experienced a feeling of Joynealogy this morning when I opened an email. It was a message from Jenny, a member of our local community.
Although I have heard from fellow researchers this was the first feedback I have received from a member of our community. I haven't yet felt confident in promoting the CareyBay2283 study in the community so this was very special and valued reinforcement.

"Hi Jill!
My son, Ben is involved in Boy Scouts and he's working on earning his Genealogy badge. Since the topic piqued his interest, his leader encouraged him to do some research at home.On ANZAC Day we honour those who served.
I hesitated to publish this post as it is a work in progress but I believe that it's appropriate on this special day.
As I add to the Carey Bay names database I tag the records of men and women with a connection to Carey Bay who have served in various conflicts. Further names will be added to the following list as research continues.
