Dear Listers, If you need any information about the Castlemaine area I suggest you contact Pauline J Myers. She has a Family History Research Centre at her home and she specialises in Central Victorian records. Her address 12 Adair Street Maldon 3463 Tel. 054 751 214 I found her a fantastic help some years ago. If you are researching those who came to Victoria from Germany during the gold rush from the Niederweisel or Griesham areas Kelvin Williams 5 Curlew Crescent Burleigh Waters Queensland 4220 is the expert. He has researched all the families from those towns. Ann Burnell
