Hi MaryAnne You mentioned that you had lines of the QUINN family in your ancestry. I also have a QUINN in my family tree - Maurice Quinn who was a shepherd in the Gloucester area of NSW (his death certificate states he was struck by lightning while herding sheep). Would he perhaps be related to your QUINNs? Cheers.

Karolyne Yes, try for shipping into Maryborough and Rockhampton as well as Brisbane. http://sites.archivenet.gov.au/Mariners Mariners and Ships in Australian Waters for 1873 and some 1872 I have three different lines of QUINN in the family, but all in New South Wales. Maybe we can be virtual cousins if not real ones :-) Good luck Mary-Anne ==== AUS-NQ Mailing List ==== Pay our own Web site a visit at http://www.ultra.net.au/~fhanq/ausnq for a collection of North Queensland Resources.
