Hello Not sure what era your people lived in these areas, but you will find a wealth of info at the following sources: - Gippsland Regional Maritime Museum in Port Albert has a very informative website http://yarrampa.customer.netspace.net.au/pamm.html which includes links to other pages of interest. The museum has quite a few books for sale, as well as a huge volume called "Clonmel to Federation" which is a database of all the known residents of the area pre-1901. For example, it lists a person and their dates of BDM, arrival in area, what they did, and references to any known sources of information about them. This volume is not for sale, but they will gladly research people for you for a small fee. Their phone/fax number is (03) 5183 2520, although I know their hours are quite limited in the cooler months. - The Visitor Information Centre in Yarram (located in the beautiful old courthouse) also has quite a few books for sale, including "In Memoriam - In Memory of Those Who Died and are Buried In The Alberton Cemetery in the Year of Federation 1901", "A Guide to Cemeteries In The Yarram District", "Touring Around Tarraville", "Down the Street - Yarram Yarram 1893 - 1993", "Discover Historic Tarraville", etc. Their phone number is (03) 5182 6553. - There is also a local genealogy society. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ausygs/ They also have quite a lot of these books for sale, and also CDs & fiche etc. Also surname interests and a list of early settlers. - The Yarram & Dist Historical Society. http://home.vicnet.net.au/~ydhs/ Trust this is of some help.
