Hi, To set the line length in outgoing newsgroup messages Outlook Express automatically sets the line length of messages using plain text format at 76 characters per line. This accommodates news servers that do not display more than 80 characters per line. When messages are quoted in a reply, the original text is usually marked and indented with an additional character. If your message is likely to be quoted after posting, set your text to wrap at 70 or 72 characters per line to prevent text from running beyond the edge of the window. On the Tools menu, click Options. On the Send tab, in the News Sending Format section, select Plain Text, and then click the Plain Text Settings button. In the text box for Automatically wrap text at x characters when sending, type the number of characters you want displayed per line. Hope this helps you understand the problem. I generally just add a little note in the message warning about the potential need to type in the whole URL. Another common problem is where bookmarks have a space in them and the URL stops at the space.

Hi List, I have records of the following for the Tweed River area and quite happy to do lookups. I also have the AVRecords. Regards Bev Cedar getters Cemetery Murwillumbah High School Pioneer Marriages 1919-1945 Casino Births Census 1891 Federation Births 1867-1888

My g-g-grandfather, Richard Payne, arrived as a convict in Australia, and after seven years, was released. He eventually made his home in Grafton and was a member of the first municipal council of Grafton in 1859. I have contacted the Clarence River Historical Society, as well as Grafton Council to see if there are any photos of the first council but have had no success. I know it's a long shot, but would really appreciate hearing from anyone else whose ancestors were part of the council, and possibly have a photograph in their possession. Louise Zontek

Hi to Marie and the other Davis cousins and connections out there - does anyone know anything of the Henry and Irvine Davis mentioned in John's quote? regards Leith Davis -----Original Message----- From: John Raymond [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, 15 June 2000 4:14 To: [email protected] Cc: Leith Davis Subject: Re: Timber industry North Coast Leith Davis wrote: quoting re Bellinger red cedar trees from a NSW Forestry history book: > > "Mr E H F Swain, then a district forester and late Commissioner of > Forests, in a Bulletin issued in 1912 wrote "it is recorded of one > growing between Fernmount and Raleigh that 39,000 superficial feet > of timber were obtained by the saw and that another 5,000 > superficial feet twelve or so years later were axe chopped out of > the limbs by the succeeding settlers.

The quote was of interest, as the farm selected in 1866 by an Irish born gg grandmother, joined the Connell farm below Fernmount. It may be of interest that the 44,000 sf tree mentioned in the quote was only a baby compared to the Macleay Valley one mention at p.82 in at Marie H. Neil's book - "Valley of the Macleay" (Wentworth Books, Sydney 1972). Re the Macleay tree the author wrote: "felled in 1882 on Henry Sauer's property on Nulla Nulla Creek by Henry Davis and three sons, George, Alfred and Daniel, of Uralgurra. To saw through this tree , which was forty-eight feet in girth ten feet from its base, it was necessary to weld two pit saws together. The flitches, one of which was displayed in the Paris Exhibition of 1855, were split off by dynamite. This mighty tree yielded 84,000 super feet of timber." - (cited source was a 1971 letter from Irvine H. Davis to the author M. Neil). However I guess in the wider world, as far as big trees go, even it was a baby. I read in a book "Lynn's Valley Tales and Others", kindly sent to me by a gentleman who helped out with some lookups in Kern County in California, of a Sequoia in the Greenhorn Mountains near Bakersfield which when first found by the author was broken off at about the same height as the surrounding pines, and which the author had in 1912 personally measured at 120 feet in circumference around the base. He mentioned it had been first measured with the same result of 120 feet by a party of three cattlemen in 1885. To get through that one might have taken a bit more than two pit saws joined together :-) John Brisbane GENEALOGY HOMEPAGE: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jray

Hi, Am looking for information on Robert YOUNG, born Co. Down, IRE. Robert Young, aged 18 years, arrived in AUS with Robert's sister, Jane and her husband David GILMORE, on board the "Mandarine', brought out here as farm labourers by Mr Lloyd of the Hunter River District. Arrived in Sydney on 19/10/1838. I have found various mentions of Robert YOUNG and family in the Clarence River Register. Am hoping that someone out there may have information about this Robert YOUNG. Thanks for your help. Kathi G Bundaberg, QLD
