Dave, Mike, Brian and Keith McMahon, Adelaide, Dec 2006This weblog is a concerted attempt by four brothers (above) to document our family history. Keith, Michael, Brian and David McMahon all live in different cities, hence the decision to start a blog. Instead of each one of us emailing information and photographs to the others, we've decided to use the internet to pool our resources. The creation of this blog will give each of us access to an evolving project.
Not only do we want to document what we know of our family history; we also want to research and record the stories of our ancestors.
We are the sons of Phyllis Mary (nee Reade) and Alfred Percy Collins McMahon. This picture was taken in Adelaide in December last year, at a family wedding. And this is the first step in a project that all four of us are about to undertake. Watch this space as we chronicle the clan.

Very nice idea, and when one has known a family, especially interesting!
I do remember two girls who were rather interested in two of the brothers, once upon a time, and come party time, they were frequently in the house. Occasionally, one of them, of a particularly irreverent bent, would pull the other into the bathroom which connected the two bedrooms, just for a wisecrack. She was such a ham, it was hard not to explode and give the show away!
Hi anonymous,
Ah yes, I remember them well. I promise not to tell if you won't tell!
Love to the family
David
David...
What a great idea! I observe that you and Keith look very much like your father, while your two middle brothers take after your mum.... At least from the photos.
I will be a regular visitor!
cheers,
Cecilia
Hi Cecilia,
I'm glad you like the idea. It's a fairly unique use of the blog concept, I guess.
You're right about the resemblance. But you'd be surprised at how many people swear the opposite is true!
Thanks for dropping by.
David
Thank you for all the history of OUR family too as you are part of it too.
Wonderful blog and I am not anonymous at all
