Alas, I cannot help with these families but eventually someone will turn up :-) My own interests are in the Albury and Henty-Pleasant Hills area where my father's German forbears settled (KNIE, SIEBERT & SCHARDT) and my mother's Irish and Cornish ones (GARVEY, CARMODY, BREWER and PAULL). Does anyone know of local history sites in our area? Maria Brandl
