Hi All Would anyone have a Parish Map of the Moreton District please. I can't find anything suitable at google. I need something to define the various parishes eg what was where on the western side of the Logan River etc. I have 5 of the 20 chain to the inch maps from the QSA, mainly Logan, Nindoimba, Beaudesert, Kerry together with a little of Telemon and three others which I just can't figure out, despite crawling all over the floor (well, nearly). In other words, my geography is particularly BAD. TIA Bev

Hi Joan Thanks for you reply re scanning photos BUT .... I am sitting here feeling very guilty as I am guilty of misusing the list with this query. Please bear with me while I explain. I have an expensive slide scanner and I am in the process of trying to find customers so that I can scan their slides to offset some of the cost of the scanner. Yesterday, I was hunting on the internet for some quite unrelated information and happened upon a family history mailing list which dealt with the topic I was after BUT also had queries about scanning slides. This led me to thinking that there was a market in this area. When I posted that email yesterday, I had just come back from walking the streets doing a letterbox drop of a leaflet I had produced to promote the service and I was feeling a bit "desperate" for some results so rather impulsively posted the email to 'test the waters'. Consequently, I have had quite a few responses which leads me to believe that there are lots of people who would like this done - I just have to reach them. However, I feel that I have misused the list so I am offering to scan slides for the people who have responded for nothing - and hopefully you may spread the word about what I can do. Apart from scanning the slides to CD, I can also make automated slide shows of them which you can view on your computer. I can scan at dpi up to 4000 but 1000 produces a much more than adequate photograph for viewing on the computer. I have put together a sample CD and will happily post you one if you would like it. Please let me know if I can help you; my offer of doing them for nothing is genuine - I have to atone for my sin<g> Yours repentantly Elaine At 06:06 PM 29/10/2002 +1000, you wrote: >"Joan Baumann" <farjoy@optusnet.com.au>

Hi All.. I am passing this on to you from a posting at another list. For all of you without the 1881 British Census CD's you can now search on line at: http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=census/search_census.asp Also the 1881 USA and 1881 Canadian are online there as well. Cheers Gay

I just want to say THANK YOU to all that have answered my shipping quearies re the "Wandrahm", "Charles Dickens", "Black Swan" and "Champion of the Seas", I do try to answer you all privately, but in case I missed any of you. You have all been such a wonderful help, and I have now gathered all the information I am sure is available. All the best Gay warlord@ezweb.com.au

Kerry, Would it be possible for you to email me the photos of "wandraham" to please as it is the ship my Bauman's came out on. I have a translation of a report about conditions on the ship 1865/6 if any of you are interested. Joan ----- Original Message ----- > Hi Gaye, > > I have 2 photos of the WANDRAHM which someone once emailed me.

Apologies all - I have just checked and I have actually got photo's of the ship "WAHROONGA". I too want photo's of WANDRAHM as well as this is one of the ships my family came out in 1866.
