Dear Carole I have no connection with these families, but I work in Bombala once a week and the surnames just keep popping up, as you would understand. There is an historical society that I understand is pretty active. You may well have a little goldmine of information, but I don't promise. I will be down there Wednesday. If you would like, I will forward on your message to an active member of the group ( not a local, nor am I). Let me know if that is OK. Sometimes I don't manage to turn the computer on at home.(As in tomorrow night). Storms, orphan wombats in care etc etc. So, it is OK to send a short message to my work email. I will receive it Tuesday, Wednesday in Bombala I don't receive email.Other days are fine. [email protected] Sorry about the late reply.But something good should come out of this for you.

Hi Listers, I am helping a friend with some family research. She is mainly interested at the moment in the above surnames and does know quite a lot about her family. James VANCE was her maternal grandfather and lived in Junee for many years and then lived in Adaminaby NSW where he died on 17/3/1945. James' second wife was Ida K JORDAN and this was my friends grandmother. The JORDAN's mostly lived around the Penrith area but also Gundagai and Junee. Hoping someone might be researching or recognise these two names. Ann Morse Gold Coast Australia.
