Hi Jan, I have war 1 Records of 2 decedents and would like to know if there is any other relevant information on the old memorial. I am doing the history of the SKEEN family and any information is of course very valuable. They are 1. John Skeen 1874-1917 2. Alfred 1894-1918 both were KIA France Many thanks Lloyd Skeen ----- Original Message ----- From: Jan & Peter Herivel <herivels@pnc.com.au> To: <AUS-NSW-PENRITH-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2003 7:23 PM Subject: [AUS-NSW-PENRITH] Memory Park Penrith > Hi Everyone > > I have just finished transcribing the Penrith Roll of Honour at Memory Park > for WW1 soldiers.

Hello Lloyd, I read your message to Jan with great interest and would like to ask "how do you descend in the SKEEN family"? I am a COLLITS descendent, and have searched all branch lines from Pierce and Mary Collits, including their daughter Amelia Collits who married John Skeen. I have most of the descendents recorded up to "1918 birth and 1945 marriages and deaths"! Like you I have searched the WW-1 and WW-11 records, looking for extra details. I would like to add your name and family into my records, so look forward to your reply. Rain is wide spread at present, but it skirting around us here in East Gippsland Vic again and we need it so desperately, not just to re-assure us "it can still rain", but the bush fires are getting closer and no rain is falling on them either.
