Thank you for your reply Chris. I haven't got too much on this family and am not sure where Colin fits in. I have fairly narrow research parameters and would like to stick with, and hope to be to hope to be lucky enough to find, someone who is a direct descendant of Jacob NOLAND and Catharina LUKSWITZ. Thank again Jane snip < I have a very small connection with SLEEMAN I have Colin Charles SLEEMAN b. 4 Jan 1907 Qld d. 4 Jul 1976 and married 17 Jan1931 (div) Gladys Mary HUTH b. 29 Nov 1905 Qld d.11 Sept 2002 Qld.
