Kind regards Jan Koperberg -----Original Message----- From: Michelle Nichols Sent: Monday, December 30, 2013 12:22 AM To: AUS-PT-JACKSON-CONVICTS@rootsweb.com Subject: [PJ] Tribute to Lesley The news of Lesley's illness has been a shock to many of us on the Port Jackson and Hawkesbury mailing lists. We are all aware of Lesley's dedication to family history and the help she has generously given to many. At her special request, I have taken over as Administrator of both of these lists. As a tribute to Lesley Uebel, let us continue our family history research and keep both of these lists active. In regards to Lesley's website, "Claim a Convict" which is no longer accessible online, there have been discussions with her friend Coralie and her husband Colin, re future plans. Work is happening behind the scenes to ensure her work is not lost. We will keep you posted.

I have never met you, but have always known I could call on you for your assistance in my research. I am so very grateful and thank you for your knowledge, patience and good sense in every query you have been asked to answer. You have many friends who are thinking of you at this moment.
