Marian and all, This message (below) came into another Genealogy list yesterday, and goes some way towards explaining there have been problems on Rootsweb lists of late. Unfortunately, people on this other list who dared to mildly question the fact they seemed to be missing mail (along with everybody else) got an unnecessarily terse, long response from the listowner who didn't seem to know what was going on and who didn't think people should be checking out the fact there was no or very little mail for a few days. <<<<The following, which appeared on another Rootsweb list, may be relevant: >Rootsweb has been having some serious problems lately; >messages sent to Lists have not always appeared in the >Digest versions, (and the opposite is also true), and their >Archiving has had many gaps.

Hi Lorrae and fellow listers, I received a message in relation to my letter about the article in the RHSQ journal, which made me realise I have been missing digest messages. Looking back, I see I have missed numbers 136, 138 and 139 in the last few days. Goodness knows how many others have disappeared into the ether. Does anyone have any idea why? Cheers Marionne

Dear All, Does anyone know a William DREYER who married Sophia BAUER. I picked up these names yesterday at a funeral in Brisbane, I didn't like to ask too many questions and the lady in question couldn't remember much anyway. They are associated with my LANDRY family. Cheers Bev

Hi All, Has anyone seen mention of Rudolph SCHULTZ/SCHULZ anywhere? better still has anyone got this bloke in their tree. Would love to hear from you. Cheers Bev

Hi I would like to hear from any descendants of Edith Klein and Leslie Bernard Glover or anyone who can give me any information on these two people. They were married on 3 Feb 1932. They may have lived in the Toowoomba area, but I am not sure of this. Regards Ian Kelly Sandstone Point Qld

Would like to know if there are records available relating to any schools which may have been in existence during the 1860s early 1870s in the Rosewood Station area. There is also a book on the History of Rosewood Scrub (?) or similar title where there is a family of Heinrich MEYER (MYERS) mentioned, if someone has this book would they be able scan the item and send to me, it would be very much appreciated. The reason for requesting this information is that a gr gr grandson of Heinrich & Johanna MEYER is at present producing and editing the second edition of 'The Myers Collection - Poetry from an Era 1879-1924', and a little more information as to the schooling of 'Henry's' second son, August Freidrich Meyer would like to be known.
