Hi All Could some kind person who has access to the Sale Cemetery burial lists please look-up for confirmation of burial of the following relative of mine:- Name Florence Theodora Emphield (nee Harding) Date of Death 23 January 1956. Buried Sale Cemetery ( I think) Age 77 - 80 years. Father John Harding (deceased) Husband Mick Emphield I am unsure of her precise age as her birth date varies depending on the record. This possibly happened due to her putting up her age at time of her marriage. Thanks in anticipation. Regards Bruce Watt Coffs Harbour NSW

I know of no actual Japanese in Gippsland, on land, during the war. There were quite a few Italian Prisoners fo War. I think a submarine was sunk off the coast, quite close in, and I assume that was Japanese rather than German. Possibly someone else can help????

Hi List, Some of you will be aware that I am associated with Gippsland Heritage Journal, and that, as usual, it is running late. We are just in the process of finalising No.24, and have room for some family enquiries, bulletin boards, booknotes and Help Needed. If you have anything you would like included, such as short family enquiries, please e-mail me off-list on kapana@netspace.net.au We are especially after booknotes for books published in the last 12 months. The ideal family enquiry has names, dates and Gippsland places, plus any other little titbits that may catch someone's attention. We do not accept ones such as "looking for Brown in Sale". If you are unfamiliar with GHJ, you might like to check out http://www.netspace.net.au/~kapana/GJournal.html Cheers Linda Barraclough Briagolong List Owner: AUS-VIC-GIPPSLAND email: kapana@netspace.net.au http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~surreal/AVG/

HI Listers, I am currently researching George POORE and his family who moved around Gippsland in the 1860's to the 1880's. George ,after marrying Emily DAVIS in B.B. in Wood's Point, searched for gold in Grant, Gladstone Creek, Murrindel, Glenaladale before settling in Iguana Creek where the family ran the Miner's Inn Hotel. If anyone has any information about this family I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. Don Poore.

Hi all, I am new to this list, but I am interested in the family of Robert Stafford, (husband of Mary Connor/ OConnor ) Robert is buried Mirboo North Cemetery 1907 he died at Alambee East ( wide Mary is buried at Sunbury) Also have details of Michael Stafford and his wife Amelia Jane Barker who were listed as Farmers DERVERALL RUN BUTTLEYORK in 1912. My renewed interest stems from an article I found in the "Lone Graves in Gippsland " book......it showed a photo of an unused cemetery at Alambee East, and says that two of the people buried there are Mr.. and Mrs Stafford. wondering who these people can be..... I have written to the Cemetery Trust regarding this, thanks to the help of a friend. I just wondered if anyone else has an interest in these people, or knows anything about the graves in this cemetery. I have contact with present day family members. Christine Melbourne

Hi List, Just to let everyone know that I have changed the mailing list default again, so that if you click "Reply to sender" on the emails, it will go automatically to the list unless the original sender has an over-ride set. This means we will all get to see you replies, so please check to make sure there is nothing in them you do not want to send to the list. If people can just try to not send little one-liners like "thanks Bill" back to the whole list, instead of just to Bill, it might just work.
