Hazel Judy Webster is a professional genealogist who often does free look ups for QLD records. She is also sending out a newsletter now.

Thanks Robynne My family is in Queensland and there doesn't seem to be much material on Queensland Aboriginals but I live in NZ so that makes things that much harder to find out. Will check out the web site Regards Hazel -

Thanks Robynne for the great site. A hint for all when posting these roll call messages is to make the subject line as interesting as possible or at least put in a surname in CAPITALS. As I get quite a few emails as a digest every night, I don't have the time to read each one individually and there are probably many more like me, I have also probably lost a few rellies but so what's new. I don't have any A's but if any one has a BILES from Brewarrina NSW lurking around please contact me. Marge rebel14@iinet.net.au Perth Western Australia see my Family Names at http://www.wags.org.au/mid/8134.htm I do not accept emails with attachments from anyone without prior warning . Hi Hazel, If you email or write to AIATSIS with the family name/s you're researching they are able to look up old copies of the Dawn magazine and will photocopy these to send to you. Here are their details: Senior Family History Officer Telephone: +61 2 6246 1154 Facsimile: +61 2 6261 4287 Email: family@aiatsis.gov.au For information on the Dawn magazine go here: http://www.aiatsis.gov.au/lbry/fmly_hstry/fmly_hstry_dawn_mgzns.htm I had some wonderful information sent to me from here and at no cost what ever! Don't forget to mention the years you are after, even a rough guide will hopefully pinpoint a family member for you. Cheers, Robynne Melbourne

-Hi all, I am here too in Wollongong area, at the moment we look like a storm any minute, my Daughter and I start TAFE again on 5th Feb. doing Cert 4 in Aboriginal Art & Culture.

BlankLet's see if we can generate some productive discussion. It seems that not a lot of people know about this site. We need people who know their ancestry to join in because they're the ones who will be most likely able to help us. Robynne, I'm an English teacher at Dickson College which is a senior secondary government school. I wonder if we can make some productive links? I'm involved in student welfare and improving outcomes for indigenous students. Why don't we begin with the letter A for both places and people. For example, you might be looking for Jane Adams or connections with Armidale. See ya. Beth

Hi all, Well it's a cool, wet night here in Melbourne - just right for sleeping! My lot are from the Numurkah area and also Jerilderee but I'm stuck trying to get any further information. They were taken away from their family and raised as white children. Does anyone else have family from these areas?

I was lucky to be reunited with my Aunt who's now in Maryborough (Hi Sandra!). Still looking for the rest of the mob though - Any Puckeridge's out there from La Perouse or Botany, Redfern or Waterloo via Jane Cronin from Nowra way? My dream is to take my children to their country...my wife's people call it their 'turangawaewae' their 'standing place'. Until I can find that country though, I'll keep looking and asking. Good luck in your search, keep solid...if we don't keep looking and keep asking then the assimilation policies of the past will have worked. Craig

That's not fair having nice weather like that. It was 44 degrees last week when we were up at an Indigenous Camp Meeting north of Brisbane. Enough to kill us off!

Yeah, I'm here mate, (names Ellen for the internet) been doing a bit of research myself, my mother was Victoria Boddington and my father (Jack) Ernest Bonsak. I didn't have a clue about this until my old Aunty Bonnie told me just before she died three or four years ago. Always thought she was my Aunty peggy (Victoria that is) and that she was New Zealander,turns out she was an Indigenous Aussie from Victoria. Turns out most of my family aren't who I thought they were. Got a sister whose now my cousin and a brother adopted out I can't find and never knew I had. If that don't tangle ya up don't know what will. See Ya craddy

Yes, I am here too in the West of the country. Life is quiet also over here with school still on leave and that leaves us time to catch up on admin stuff. Still desperately seeking family information also. Was a bit disappointed last year so I decided to give it a break and start up again in a couple of months time. Oh to be rich and have time and money to travel, research and talk to the oldies!!!!!! Hope you all have a great new year.
