This is the message as we received it.. I don't know whether Norman would be aware that his message has gone further than his original posting??? I guess I wasn't thinking laterally that I would have to search out his posting on the Aus-Vic Goldfields site to actually locate him.if we wanted to help him... Gay -------Original Message------- From: Norman Archibald Date: 21/02/2009 9:02:55 PM To: AUS-VIC-GOLDFIELDS@rootsweb.com Subject: A genealogy bushfire survivor Dear people, to all who have known me over the years, I finally have a computer up and running and am back on line having survived an horrific experience that destroyed my 100 year old home and 15 years of genie research records. Sadly, I doubt whether I will ever renew all the records that were stored in my computer or find the time to do so. A piece of advise to all researchers, keep your records up to date, download onto disc and store that disc elsewhere. I never dreamt I would ever be burnt to the ground, it can happen to anyone.
