I am researching my great-great-grandparents: Charles WALKER born circa 1807 in Cork (Ireland) Ann(e) HICKEY born circa 1822 in Tipperary (Ireland) (I hope the indented layout of the above four lines gets displayed correctly on your email reader. If not, please let me know, and I'll refrain from using this style of layout.) The latest state of my research is presented in a private website (initially intended as a means of exchanging data with members of my family) at http://gamone.free.fr/walker.html. I'm a 60-year-old Australian, but I live in France. So, it's not easy for me to carry out genealogical research in Australia... although the situation is improving considerably thanks to the Internet. I hope this message will find its way to some of the other numerous descendants of Charles Walker in Australia. This recently-created list is an excellent initiative, and it appears to be working well. Maybe the administrator (aided by members) might think about introducing some kinds of general principles, subject-line conventions and abbreviations. For example, a basic question: In the case of multiple surnames, should we post a separate message for each name?
