Do you know if > there are any copies of the Pioneers of Gosford > available Yes, but aside from that book I know the CC FS have a great deal of info on both families Late last year we published a CD of mainly BDM info from the Gosford Times 1897 - 1933 . Are some 20 CRAFT refs and about 40 WOODBURY ones See http://www.centralcoastfhs.org.au/ With some of these large local families Central Coast / Hunter Valley families its very easy to re invent the wheel Is quite alot of WOODBURY info on Jenny WILLETTS web site http://www.jenwilletts.com/search.htm Bye MargM Hunter Valley List Admin
