Dear CC subscribers Would appear alot of you are sitting back waiting for something to happen . Nothing will unless you make it . Maybe you are all like me and no roots in this area at all . I have no Australian roots anyway . None the less the history of this area is interesting. We have certainly witnessed some changes in the 14 years that we have lived here Someone who lived here say 100 years ago wouldnt recognise the place. Perhaps some of you who are new to the Internet dont recognise the value of mailing lists in your research ? Mailing lists have 2 main sources http://www.rootsweb.com Direct address for mailing lists is http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail.html and http://www.Onelist.com Janet REEKES runs a one of Onelist . There also a onelist list for the 'Forgotten Valley' They can help alot in your knowledge of an area and its possible to find people willing to do the odd look up for you. And maybe you can reciprocate ? If youre not sure how to do something just yell and I will try to help Bye Marg Morters List Owner NSW Central Coast Mailing List Australia
