In 2009-10, Sue Carter, Secretary of RDHS, produced a Newsletter which gave snapshots of what RDHS was doing at that time. See Extracts below:
RYLSTONE HISTORICAL SOCIETY’S CONTRIBUTION to
History Week was the presentation of a talk
on Jimmy Governor and the screening of the
film ‘The Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith’ in
keeping with the History Week theme of
Scandals, Crime and Corruption. There were
four presentations; Kandos, Mudgee,
Gulgong and Rylstone and all were well
attended and the theme resulted in animated
discussion during supper. A folder
containing news articles, court reports and
photographs of the times has been added to
the Museum’s archives and makes very
interesting reading.
FAMILY RESEARCH REQUESTS:
Requests for information on the O’Donoghue (Donoghue) family have been successful and we were able to send off some interesting information about this early Glen Alice settler and direct the family to Mudgee Historical Society who has much more information. We welcome all information about families so we can add it to our files and build up a data base of family information to assist researchers. The Research and Writing group had a packed meeting during the week and all who attended are busy on projects. The group is looking for someone willing to transcribe recorded interviews. If you can help with this task please phone Sue on 63791255. We have had requests about the Nicholson family, ‘Black’ Jack Turner from Rawdon, information about the Wonnarua tribe from Bylong, James Brown and Ann Gardner (1850’s). All help is welcome.

FAMILY RESEARCH REQUESTS:
The Research and Writing Group has been busy,
meeting on the last Sunday of the month at the
Cottage Museum to work on research tasks and
monthly at the BVI to share information. The
theme of this year’s History Week is
‘FACES IN THE STREET’
When we look at the businesses that have been
established in our village since 1860, the people
who owned and worked there and their
customers. As part of this project we are
planning a 2011 calendar along this theme.
