Good morning Listers, I have been sitting in the background for some time now getting tips and ideas for a family research that I have for a long time wished to start. I have contacted family members and am slooowly getting some information that I can compile. My question/request to the list is, firstly to advertise the names I am starting with (the latest generations) and as I am now a resident of QLD ask any other lister who live away from Gippsland and Melbourne how they go about "official" searches for information of residents of Victoria. On a personal note I find this list very informative and a good place to get tips "from the experts" and also stories about a place I still hold so dear. Kind regard, Marc Goodwin Underwood QLD formerly Yarram-Gippsland Searching for GOODWIN (Melb/Yarram) WILLOUGHBY(Melb.
