Dear Listers A question was asked of me today that I couldnt even hazard a guess at an answer . Was there an internment camp on the Central Coast during WW2 ??? I know of one that was out at Hay but no other in NSW ??. The internee concerned was named Paul SCHMIDT , born in Germany and its thought never got around to be naturalised . He would have been in his late sixties c 1940 and left Germany has a very young man and never went back there. He either had an orchard here or worked as an orchardist for some one in the CC area Can anyone help ? Thanks bye Marg Morters NSW Central Coast Mailing List Gosford, NSW Australia [email protected]

Hi Marg The Rootsweb list, [email protected] archives may help you. I seem to remember there were several internment places mentioned at some time. Also mentioned were ways some avoided internment. The list does not have huge numbers of queries so it should not be a long search. Of course, it is basically related to Germans in SE QLD but other info. related to German immigrants turn up from time to time. I only recently unsubscribed from this list otherwise I would post a query for you. Good luck Rhonda Paine, Central Mangrove 2250.
