Welcome to Elaine's Home Page

Hi There, my name is Elaine and welcome to my little corner of the web. Grab yourself a coffee and sit back and relax.... there is heaps here to keep you busy......

I live in Geelong, Australia. Geelong is about 75kms from Melbourne on the West Coast. Not far from the fantastic Surfcoast and famous Bells Beach.

Let's see what the weather in Geelong is like right now....

I follow Australian Rules Football (AFL) and my favourite team is Geelong. Tennis also ranks very high on my favourite Sports as well as Triathlons, where I just love to watch Brad Beven. I like to take some photographs when I go to sporting events.... Here are some of my favourite pictures taken at the Australian Open Tennis at Flinders Park in Melbourne.

I,like so many others around the world was deeply saddened by the sudden death of Diana Princess of Wales. Wow I can hardly believe that nearly 6 years has passed since this terrible event......

I have been completing my family Tree and History for a few years now and my ultimate dream was to visit Switzerland and inparticular Tegerfelden the village where my Great Grand Father was born.... In June of 1997 my dream came true and I visited Tegerfelden. I have some of My Family History on my Tegerfelden Page. I have lots of cousins who still live there so it was real nice to meet them too. Here are some of my favourite pictures of my holiday ,

My cousin Harald Deppeler in Switzerland has set up a Deppeler Family Web page.... Why not check that out.... In January 2004 Harry visisted us here in Geelong. Check back soon for some pictures of that wonderful day. In November of 1997 I finally tracked down some Deppeler's who live in America.... Deb Deppeler lives in Wisconscin and she's also set up a great American Deppeler Family Page.... Her page is sure worth a look too....

I love going to the Movies and my favourite movie of all times is definately Titanic. Here's my Titanic Home Page

Everybody likes to receive recognition for things that they have done..... I am no exception..... Check out some of the fantastic Awards and Certificates that I've Received. I'm very proud of each and everyone of them. Thank you to everybody who has given them to me.

I am happy to announce that my site is now certified as a Heartland Hallmarks Site......

oh wow.... I'm so proud of this...... :))))

Thanks for visiting and please come back and visit again soon....
