Hi KimLai What have you tried? Have you looked in electoral rolls? Have you checked the death index for that state. I found my grandmother whom my mother hadn't seen in 30 years through the telephone book!!! It was that easy. Have you tried any of these?? kindest regards Sam -----Original Message----- From: KimLai Bell <kimlaibell@yahoo.com> To: AUS-KOORI-L@rootsweb.com <AUS-KOORI-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Wednesday, 28 February 2001 1:32 Subject: [AUS-Koori] Birds. >G'day,everyone. >My name is Kim and I'm searching for my indigenous >family.
