G'day Marg, I've nothing on Rodgers or Blyth, but yes on Gale. Catherine's sister Phoebe married George's brother John. I'll email you a descendants report off list later today. You might also want to subscribe to the AUS-VIC-HIGH-COUNTRY list as the Gales lived in Tarrawingee & Albury for a while. Cheers... Pat... At 6/10/2003 Monday01:53 PM +1000, you wrote: >Hi everyone.
