As a Christmas gift to you all, we have finished indexing our headstone photo collection for: * Pimpama Island cemetery * Pimpama Uniting cemetery Pimpama is between Brisbane and the Gold Coast and the Pimpama Island cemetery (with its nearby Lutheran and Apostolic churches) in particular has many German family names, reflecting the German settlement of the Logan River area. As always, the photos and search tool can be found at: http://www.chapelhill.homeip.net/FamilyHistory/Photos/ Thank you to all our users over the years who have spotted and reported the errors that inevitably occur or who possess additional information to help us decipher the more illegible headstones. Merry Christmas to you all from Chapel Hill! Kerry & David

Shirley, try the www.naa.gov.au click record search then guest entry, if she left from the UK you would have more success looking for her on your end either through the www.ancestorsonboard.com or the UK Unassisted Immigration on ancestry.

Hi there Carolyn, Florence Nightingale Meyer was my great-aunt. I often wonder at the effect that being named after this great woman had on her own life. Was she teased? Was she proud of the fact? Did she hide it? Did people assume that because she was named as such that she had her own wisdom to impart. Alas I never met her. My Florence came from hard working German immigrants - and I think overall the Meyer and Nicholson families worked out pretty well! I assume this is because we did indeed come from "Good Stock" :-) Sense of humour totally intact. Cheers and all the best, and good hunting for the next year, to everyone on the list. -- Stephen On 23 Dec 2009, at 7:20 PM, cmhart wrote: > According to "HOYLE" or whoever wrote this and posted on the Net. > This > Florence obviously came from "GOOD STOCK" ;-) . > MERRY XMAS ALL.

According to "HOYLE" or whoever wrote this and posted on the Net. This Florence obviously came from "GOOD STOCK" ;-) . MERRY XMAS ALL. Hope you all still have a sense of humour. Carolyn FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE Born: May 12, 1820 Died: Aug. 13, 1910 Cause of Death: Old age Physician's Notes: Known figuratively as "the Lady with the Lamp" and historically as the mother of modern nursing, she contracted almost every illness the Crimean War had to offer, including Crimean fever, dysentery, and rheumatism. In 1855 she came down with a fever and hovered on the brink of death for over two weeks. When the fever finally broke, she was emaciated and had lost all of her hair, but she refused to leave until the British were evacuated from Turkey in July, 1856. Constantly working to the point of exhaustion, she collapsed in August, 1857. This signaled the end of her physically active life.

Please could a lister look up for a REBECCA OSMAN on the Ships list between 1911 and 1921. Regards Shirley Cambridge uk

Thanks for the information Jules, and also thanks to Barbara and Jan. Looks like Florence, Cecil and Edna all lived and died in the same area around the Miles/Toowomba area. Cheers ... -- Stephen

Yes Elaine, As I got this info not only from the State Librarian Qld service, Kerry Hall and I think it was Jenelle McCarrick. They could have moved anywhere, after that. I have also a Queenie Moffatt marrying a Arthur Connolly in 1933, so may go down that line.

Sue If they were married 3 /12/1929 you should now be able to buy a copy of their marriage certificate as 80 years were up on the 3rd of this month. So reapply for a copy.

Dear List, I have a Queenie Croucher born 1-7-1908 and married Andrew Moffatt on the 3-12 1929 Qld. On trying to get their marriage cert, I was informed i had to get their familys permision first. Now it is the family of that couple who I need to find, as they are my 2nd cousins and they are probably blissfully unaware they have other cousins, as i was 20 years ago. Any help here would be appretiated. A Very Merry Christmas everyone. Sue

Sue, Have you looked for a notice in the Brisbane Papers [that is if you have any idea where they married]. There may have even been a write up in the following weeks Social News about the wedding. Just a thought You could also try Newspapers on-line at http://newspapers.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/home Regards Bev
