They emigrated here from Holland and arrived here in Sydney on board the "Groote Beer" in November 1955. > > Does anyone have any information in relation to that ship. I would also like to know where I might be able to get copies of photo's of the boat and I would be very interested in stories from anyone who travelled on her during the mid fifties. > Hi Mike Try the National Archives www.naa.gov.au They have a very large on line data base . Type in the ships name and your family name and see what comes up . They also have info on naturalisation ( not on line) Also check the Sydney Morning Herald Bye Marg Morters Beautiful Central Coast of NSW Australia
