Hello John - Thank you for your kind offer re your pending visit to Mitiamo. Unfortunately I think the only family connection with the town is that grandfather Hussey had the good grace to die there. (Assuming that he died in hospital, I would be interested to know if there is still a hospital there). I don;t think there is any family history to be uneartthed there. Enjoy your visit - Best regards Pat

My great grandmother was married in Mitiamo in 1888, and given that other subscribers also had a connection, I thought I would have a quick look at some 'rough' statistics. From 1875-1888: Births 306 Deaths 45 From 1889-1901 Births 236 Deaths 80 So obviously it was a booming place with that many kids born in a 26 year period. Would have filled the local school! Looking at more modern times and the population of Mitiamo, the population has remained steady at about 100 people Peter Matthews Pat Hussey wrote: >Hello John - Thank you for your kind offer re your pending visit to Mitiamo.
