The families of my grandparents came to Australia in the 1850’s. They were either Brits, Scots or Irish and they came here for a better life. They have spread from Melbourne to as far EAST, WEST, NORTH & SOUTH of OZ as you can go, and also to New Zealand!
I’m so proud of them all, who goes on a one way trip? I often receive info and photos from relatives I’ve never met, and I hope that, if you think you might be related…. you give us a try!
