    3. Hi, I've just gleaned some new information from my husbands family about their origins and as per usual in genealogy I now have more questions than answers!...just wondering if anyone out there is familiar with this family: Joyce Mintin ABEL - b.1918 in Bairnsdale m. Frederick Lachlan MACDONALD Frederick's father was also Frederick Lachlan MACDONALD and his mothers name was Helen? or Ellen? (unsure???) I have been told that her family were the lightkeepers on Gabo Island. Frederick (Sr) died enroute to WWI and his wife remarried and became a BRUCE, having 4 or 5 children from this second marriage. I have contacted the lighthousekeeper for information, does anyone have any ideas on what other steps I could take to find out Helen?'s name??? If so, or if you have any info regarding my "ancestor in laws" I would be very appreciative. Thanks in advance, Regards, Leesa MacDonald from a glorious spring day in Medowie, NSW Shoot for the Moon - even if you miss you'll be among the stars!
