I've located the family I'm interested in, living in Calare, Orange, NSW in the 1936-37 rolls. There are 5 people at the same address. I know 2 of the people were married to each other (Theodosia and Patrick Simmons) but, without a census, how do I figure out how the others in the house are connected? And how do I trace the family back further generations? > > This family is my uncles line. I never met him and know very little about his family.

Maybe I can do some in person research while I'm there. My mom was a war bride (came to the US in 1944 on the Lurline) so I feel very close to Australia. > > Linda in Ohio, USA > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
