Norman.. Our thoughts are with you and your Family....... having been in Melbourne for the Ash Wed. Fires.... and knowing these latest fires are much worse . We can't for one minute know what your are going through....... Your email was forwarded to the Queensland List...with the good advice of putting your tree information in a safe place not necessarily at your home but with others has been taken on board by many of us... I for one have printed copies and given to People for safe keeping....as well as giving them a CD... I have a few research aids here and I am more than willing to collect any Data and forward to you. If you give me a brief run down of the names you want researched....I will see what I can find and send to you... . others on the Queensland List have also have offered to help restore your tree... Between us we may be able to get you back on track...It wont replace all the certificates etc that you have lost but there may be others out there with some Family coinnection that would be willing to copy certs etc that they may have... we can only ask... Jan. Brisbane..
