Well I trotted off to the Museum this afternoon and discussed my suggestion with the Museum Manager. Anna was more supportive of the idea so next week I'll be taking my laptop there to record the names and authors of the family histories they have in their archives. PLEASE NOTE: I will only be recording the names of those histories where a private person has written a family history and lodged a copy with the museum. For example, Joan Pritchard wrote a Pritchard family history, a copy of which she has donated to the museum. Will let you know when list is complete.

Hi Denise I recall seeing other Pritchards in the Beechworth area from time to time when trawling through indexes, but don't think there is any connection to the family of Alex Pritchard (remembering of course that after his uptake with Ellen Jackson, the family expanded considerably).

Denise, As far as I am aware there were and are heaps of PRITCHARDS in Beechworth and surrounding areas. My home carer was a PRITCHARD and her mother Joan did a family history a couple of years ago which I think she lodged with the Robert O'Hara Burke Museum. In fact, I've just had a thought - how about I e-mail the museum and ask them to provide me with a list of all the family histories they have on hand and then I could post the list on this e-mailing list.
