This is more detail on the personal history for Mark and Mabel and children, how they went where they did and the purpose in their adventures (some times discovered in retrospect).

Also serves as a general catch-all, e.g. Document Sources for Family Tree History and General world map (big picture) on geographical locations.

STORY FOR MARK AND MABEL

The latest step was the return from Qatar, this was un-planned and happened due to a mis-understanding. Mark and Mabel felt strongly about the plight of the people in Israel due to the after-math of the attacks on civilians and effect on surviving victims of the violence and their immediate families.  However the action of donation of money to a humanitarian organization supporting these people in Israel (Israelis - of Jewish, Christian and Muslim religion), was interpreted as seditious by the local authorities, in the light of the current international political climate.  We left within one month.  This meant packing and shipping by container all the household items then flying back to Australia, in a very short time frame.

We are pleased and thankful that "the God of Israel, under whose wings we have come to take refuge, has richly rewarded us."  The children are completing high-school, they have become involved in an active community church youth group, Mabel has undertaken a one year course of studies in HR and Mark has an excellent job in an Australian Consulting Engineering company.  The year of 2006 has been a period to really re-consolidate personally and as a family, an ideal time to take a break and use as a spring-board for the future.
