Hi everyone I trust you all had a great Christmas and New Year. Santa hopefully delivered that new computer equipment you wanted and threw in few lost relatives for good measure! He was nice to me - I got some of both. So what is new to the list??? Subscribers and Messages We now have almost 200 subscribers, but you are still shy. Please tell us about your families in the region if you haven't posted yet. If you have posted before consider a re-post as many new members will not have seen your original query. If you are new and want to see what has been posted to the list you can search the AUS-NSW-SE archives by going to: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl Enter the name of the list, AUS-NSW-SE, and then you will be able to enter keywords. Alternatively if you want to just have a look through previous digests I have them all and can forward copies to anyone who wants them. Contact me directly please. Photo Gallery Judging by the number of hits to my web pages many of you will have already found the infant photo gallery. Due to some bad links that had to be sorted out I hadn't announced it to the list yet. John Graham has kindly checked it again and tells me it is 'working like a bought one', we know what he means, but my experience with 'bought' things lately isn't good! I will be adding more photos in the coming weeks but if you have one you would like to see there please send it to me. But only if you own it, not those pinched from other sites please!! Eventually I would like to have at least one photo from every town in south east NSW in the photo gallery. Frank McCaffrey Frank will come out of hibernation and return on Friday this week - his excerpts that is, the man himself is unfortunately in a permanent sleep. Don't forget comments, questions, contributions and suggestions are always welcome.
