Hi, Duncan, and thanks for the further info.... I feel you should be speaking with an RAOGK person in the districts in which your ancestors were born/married/died, not the areas of Australia with which I am familiar. 1. Try soliciting information for Narrandera NSW at AUS-NSW-CENTRAL-D-request@rootsweb.com <AUS-NSW-CENTRAL-D-request@rootsweb.com> or 2. arrivals in Victoria: http://www.prov.vic.gov.au/access.htm A couple of searches at Google and WebFerret for your surnames turned up many references; also try the LDS search site at http://www.familysearch.org/ . http://members.optushome.com.au/virgospace/familyhistory/photos/maskellphotos.html Maskell Family History Photos http://freespace.virgin.net/dave.maskell/famhist/maskell/maskell.htm Maskell Family History Happy hunting!
