Hi List While researching the BIRR family in Charters Towers area I have come across a branch for SIMON. Hermann SIMON, Henrietta Charlotte SIMON (nee BIRR), & children Augushe?, Bertha, & Albert arrived on the boat Chryebassa through Townsville in August 1882. They came with other family members, Henry & Augusta Paradies. I have found that Henrietta SIMON died on 14/1/1921 & have ordered copy of death certificate. If anyone has any information on SIMON, I would be happy to hear from them. Derek

I have a copy of Glenville Pike's 'PIONEERS COUNTRY" which covers mainly the Mareeba & Herberton shires. This is the 1976 edition which deals mainly with exploration and settlement of towns in the area. The book has quite a large pictorial section. If anyone would like a look-up, please advise name, area and type of search. Regards Liz Sullivan

Wanting to make contact with relatives of MRS. RACHAEL FORD who lived at TEWANTIN via COORAN, North Coast Line, Queensland in 1916. Looking to find information about FREDERICK EDWARD PONTEE who listed this person as his "NEXT of KIN" on his enlistment to A.I.F. in WW1 Hoping to having a reply ...........DAVID PONTEE

Lorraine First your address at cyberwizards is rejected by my server at the moment ?? I went to school with an Olive Spowart who had an older sister. They lived on Fuller Road near North Johnstone next door to Tippets and across from Edna Waugh. They were very quiet I think because they were JW's and back then that made them different. This was Malanda High School. I'd have to dig in my very poor memory bank to remember more. Sorry Norma

Hi Lorraine My mother's maiden name was PUTT. Her father was Arthur Percy Elliott PUTT, his father William Crispin PUTT and his father William PUTT. While I can't find William Crispin PUTTS entry to Aus yet (he was a sailor) I have quite a lot of info on PUTTS. Have info on Edward Creber PUTT and family and another Edward and family who came to Qld. I am unable to connect these families to mine yet but I have had contact with descendants of Edward Creber. If you would like to contact me off list I would be quite happy to forward what info I have.

I know many of you hate seeing these warnings being issued because you have already taken the step to purchase an Anti Virus Software program. However having read the article below I would like to comment that over the last few weeks I have received at least 6 emails titled 'Snow White and the Seven dwarves'. Fortunately my anti virus software refused to accept the attachments. The source of this article is Woody's Office Watch a reputable e-magazine covering MS Office products John List Administrator FHA-NQ & AUS-NQ **************************************************** MELISSA VIRUS RIDES AGAIN Our old 'friend' Melissa has had many variants since it first appeared in March 1999 - see WOW http://www.woodyswatch.com/office/archtemplate.asp?v4-n14 for details. There's a new and virulent version that's appeared in the last few days, called W97M.Melissa.W. If you open an infected email attachment it will send out a copy of itself to 50 people in your Outlook address book. The outgoing message is headed: Important Message From <your name> . Then there is 'Melissa X' another new variant that does similar things, but appears to be a Office for the Macintosh document. Since Office Mac documents can be read by Office for Windows there's the opportunity for cross-platform infection. Only Office 97 or 2000 for Windows can spread infected documents via mass-mailing to your address book (because it needs Outlook to do that). However Macintosh created documents can contain the virus. It's been a while since the first Melissa and enough time has past for people to forget about it and for network administrators to drop their guard. That may explain why these new variants have been spreading quickly in the last few days. And that's not the only virus to be spreading via email in recent times. Some WOW readers have been infected with the 'Hybris' virus that sends out infected messages usually with the heading 'Snow White and the Seven dwarves'. A new variant of this virus picks up email addresses to infect from the body of an existing message (not just the FROM address or your address book). We know some WOW readers are infected because we've been getting infected messages to addresses only published in the most recent issue of WOW. Not a problem for us, we get hundreds of emails each hour so a few more don't count. Sadly we can't trace these back to their source. So please update your anti-virus software today, check your entire computer, Inbox and Sent Items for viruses and be careful of incoming email attachments. The general advice in our Melissa issue http://www.woodyswatch.com/office/archtemplate.asp?v4-n14 still holds today.

I am researching the Craies family , a number of the family lived in Townsville and other parts of Northern Queensland Walter Hamilton Craies and Emma (Wright) Craies lived and worked in Bowen, Townsville, Cooktown, Macknade Sugar Plantation , Victoria Plantation - Cardwell and on four north Queensland Stations. Walter worked in the Bank of NSW, Bank of North Queensland and as an accountant from approx 1885 until late 1920's. Charlotte Sabina Craies married George Alexander Roberts in 1881 and they lived in Townsville. Stuart Craies married Ella Hillcoat in 1889 and worked for the Qld National Bank in Innisfail, Hughenden and Townsville until 1912. Does anyone have any information about this family and can anyone recommend good history books that cover any of these regions at this time. Jenny Easlea "Shuna" Dayboro 4521 [email protected]

Hi Judy, My husband's g grandfather (Harold James Craies) was born at Victoria Plantation in 1897, I think it would be the same place. Does your photo show any details of the area? If anyone has any information about the area I would appreciate it. Jenny Easlea "Shuna" Dayboro QLD. Judy wrote : Is anyone out there related to the Scott Family? I have a photocopy of a photograph published in Cummins and Campbell's Monthly Magazine, Nov 1931. The caption reads: The Scott Family, Victoria Estate, Herbert River. Photo taken 35 years ago (which would make it 1896) There are 21 people in the photograph. If you are interested send your snail address to me and I will post it to you. Regards, Judy

I am researching the family WALL. They had the Arms Hotel in Nimbool for a while and the Railway Hotel in MtGarnet any leads at all will help. regards,Barry Chambers
