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. Beverly Markham originally from Toowoomba where there has also been great devastation.
