Hello Lee, My best suggestion would be for you to contact Jenny at the Broken Hill Family History Group, they are situated in the Library, Blende St., Broken Hill. Jenny is a "mine of information" (very appropriate for Broken Hill) and she is always willing to assist in any way. Other than that, I would be quite willing to help in any way, I usually manage to get to the group about once a fortnight. Let me know if you'd like me to search out some info for you.
