Thanks you so much Wynnette. I was on Trove last night and came up with practically nothing! Must be my 'key technique' LOL You've sent me so much to go on with so I'm off to look where the URL takes me. Thanks gain, Marcelle

Marcelle, I always put my search name into the "The Phrase" line. I find it seems to bring up more results. I also try the surname with initials only added or if the name is Thomas etc, use abbreviations such as Ths. In your case, with such an unusual surname, I just used it by itself. You will have to try many spellings, not just from name spelling changes, but in case of typographical errors. I would recommend that you explore the family arriving in QLD, and then see if it is the same one that turns up in SA. I'd also try trove in the SA newspapers in case they stayed there and Hans moved on when he got older. Hmm, I just had a quick look, can't see much but the family name persists up until the 1950's. Cheers, Wynnette. ----- Original Message ----- From: "mvs" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 23, 2012 6:39 PM Subject: [AUS-QLD] GRONVOLD Hans Schmidt (Graeme & Wynnette Ford > Thanks you so much Wynnette. > > I was on Trove last night and came up with practically nothing! > Must be my 'key technique' LOL > > You've sent me so much to go on with so I'm off to look where the URL > takes > me. > > Thanks gain, Marcelle > > Please remember to snip most of the earlier message before you post any > reply......
