Hi to everyone In 2003 I was trying to find out about Hugh Louis Zephyr DOWNEY, my great grandfather. Lots of help came from people on the list but eventually the brick wall rose and I moved to research on other lines. About two months ago my sister suggested I put a request on the Desperately Seeking page of the Melbourne Herald Sun Sunday paper. It worked. Just a fortnight ago I received an email from a descendent in Melbourne who had been trying to find the NZ family. We have been in contact and I now have found an enormous Australian family. I thought this advice might help others break down their brick walls too.
