Thanks Beattie When I received your email, I checked my last one - 20March. Maybe we are all too busy. My interests in the north include: 1. WESCHE / SCHAPER / KADDATZ - 1880- current - any connection to any of these names - I would love to hear from you. We have already completed one book but are concentrating on an update with other details. 2. OWENS / MCGAW / MOORE 1880 - current - any connection with these families from around Herberton, Cairns, Atherton. In particular, g uncle James OWENS, born 1901 - what happened to him? Got the rest of his siblings and half brother and sister but he went bush! Know he married and got a bushel of kids!! His mother was Ada McGAW (nee MOORE, formerly OWENS) of Mareeba. These are the main families from up north. The rest are mostly Central or Southern Qld. Thank you for any help. Lorrae Johnson Plainland Qld 4341 Researching: 1.
