I have just published Issue 27 of the Button Files. These are stories I couldn’t fit in the recent Issue 26, and they all relate to Bishop Charles Mongan Warburton of the Mongan clan. There were several Posts related to the Bishop and his relations over the past year and I have edited them to remove repetition and combine some original Posts. The most recent Post, which concerns the Bishop’s Mourning Ring has been updated to reflect new information, both in the newsletter and the original Post.
The articles are Charles Mongan’s Warburton Relatives which explores the Bishop’s Warburton links that lead him to adopt the Warburton surname, The Warburton Connection of the Mongans of Yackandandah which covers the quest to prove the family story that they were descended from John Mongan, the Bishop’s brother,
A DNA Case Study which shows how the above quest was achieved with DNA, Bishop Charles Warburton’s Mourning which has recently surface in Sydney, and Birth Date of Charles Warburton Carr which describes how his date of birth was questioned by research into Bishop Warburton’s mourning ring.
