Listers, I was looking for something in a Sydney Morning Herald from 1945 and saw the following news item. There are many Sternbeck researchers out there who might find some interest in the article. I have no connection with the family. 103rd BIRTHDAY Mrs.W.T. Sternbeck, who was 103 yesterday, is now living in a house in St Albans which she saw built when she was a schoolgirl. Mrs Sternbeck who was married in 1867 had 12 children of whom four sons and four daughters are still living. She has 69 grandchildren, 82 great grandchildren and 21 great great grandchildren. Her husband died in 1911." NB I was a poor researcher and didnt write the date on the very poor photocopy I have but it likely to be either the 15th or 16th January 1945. The poor copy also means the numbers of descendants are very difficuly to read. David
