Pat Wrote: 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 Pat I can vaguely remember as a child being with my uncle on the verandah of the Hospital in Mitiamo. I cannot recall whether it was operational (bad word :) )at the time or whether the repairs he carried out were for people living in the building as their home. This has raised a question. Where did hospital records go when it ceased to function as a hospital?. If you know that then you may find the information on your grandfather Hussey? John -- Internal Virus Database is out-of-date.
