Dear Listers Just heard Maria Skwierawski died on Sunday in Sydney I knew she wasn't well . She used to get copies of docs from NSW State Records, Kingswood , for me and for many others. She been around a while as we were both at the almost inaugural meeting of the Sydney DPS at the SAG , circa 1995 ??? Bye MargM List Admin

Hi listers, I'm hoping someone can help me out here. Back in the 1980s I was a member of a writing club in Rocky. I think a Mrs MacDonald was its chief. They had a competition, for which I wrote a short story based on my great great aunts, Bridget,Norah, Ann, Kate and Mary Cunneen who came to Aus from Ireland in the 1880s. My story was published with others, in paperback form, by the writers' club. I have since lost my copy. Does anyone know of this association or where I might find a copy of the book? I can't even remember its title!!!!!!!! TIA Jeanette Hartley, Mareeba

The Ryerson Index currently has vacancies for indexers to cover many Queensland papers. We prefer indexers who have access to the printed version of their paper. In a pinch it is possible to index from a newspaper website, but we have identified problems with some websites whereby not all printed notices appear on the website, hence our preference for the printed source. If you are interested, please visit www.ryersonindex.org and click on the "Newspaper Coverage" link. Scroll down to the "Queensland" section and check your paper by clicking on the link, and then clicking on the "Details of Dates Indexed" link. If the dates shown are not up-to-date (to within the past month or so), then you can make a difference by indexing the paper! And if your local newspaper is not included on the list, then we certainly want you! We supply the indexing software and a comprehensive training course. All we ask in return is a few minutes of your time each day, or week, or whenever you can spare it, to index the notices. Please contact us via the "Contact Ryerson Index" link on the front page of the website if you wish to become an indexer. For those of you reading this but with no access to a paper we want to index, don't despair - we have scanned copies of papers available which you can download, and they can be indexed from anywhere in the world. So please contact us! John Graham President, Ryerson Index Inc

Would not, could not help? Without being privy to the conversation I cannot comment. However, I have forwarded Christine's message to the Korean Veterans Association to see if they can help.

Looking for any descendants of Robert Alyth Keay, another guest of Holzminden Prisoner of War Camp, World War 1, where they dug their way out in July, 1918. Died in Queensland, we have photos of him, just looking for family. Jenelle.

Hi Janet That's wonderful, is Texas near Goodiwindi by the way. Kindest regards Dianna

Hi I'm doing research into the above Stephen Pavlicevic (many variants to this name) Stephen lived on a property in Goondiwindi QLD Stephen was born in Sofala NSW in 1883 the son of Nicholas PALICEVIC an immigrant from Croatia and Mary J. DEVLIN. I'm not sure when Stephen moved to Qld, but he did die there from what I am told. We are also trying to find information on a relative living with him a Patty SMITH (perhaps James Patrick SMITH). If there would be anything on the electoral rolls for either Stephen or nephew? Patty/Patrick/James Patrick Smith that would be great. Perhaps death notice/obituary for Stephen P. Any help much appreciate. Kind regards Dianna in Sydney.

Thanks Sue Minnie was 4 years old when the ship arrived in Qld in 1883. Her big brother married and had children, including Rosette Minnie FALTZ born 1908. It would be her who was enrolled in 1914 and later married Henry James HUDSON. I was looking for Minnie who was born in c1878. Thanks for the school rolls though - very helpful.

I agree fully with you Sue, about further research. I have to confess I did not notice your "A" but did notice your comment of her having survived voyage which was when I realised her possible age.
