Thanks Beverly Trust you are well in USA too. I went to work on Monday morning and cannot get home - staying with mum. My Family are all safe as is my home. I feel for all our list members in the area - it is terrible and the TV repeats everything - Qld is flooding and Perth has bush fires. Such an amazing country. Keep safe folks Lorrae Glenore Grove Qld 4342 http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=helmrich -----Original Message----- From: WILLIAM G and Beverly MARKHAM [mailto:markhammenagerie@msn.com] Sent: Tuesday, 11 January 2011 3:17 PM To: aus-qld-se-germans@rootsweb.com Subject: [SEQ-Germans] Flooding in Queensland I am saddened to see so much damage by flood waters in Queensland. My heart goes out to the people of South East Queensland where many of our ancestors first settled. My first hope is that your genealogy is safe. We may lose homes, cars, or crops or pets, but to lose our recorded ancestry is by far a greater loss because it holds the key to who we are. My condolences to those who lost everything in the Lockyer valley and points east.
