Hoping someone may have a book with some early reference to Hurdle Flat in it. I'm looking for a group of Canadians who were mining in the area, particularly during the 1850s. Any items on these would be appreciated however small, and in particular a name which looks like AMYOT . regards Denise
I'd be interested in that too - My ggg father Levi LEFOE was a french canadian in the area.

Brian. William Amiot and his brother Bruno were in the northeast both French Canadians. William stayed, Bruno returned home in 1854. I am in contact with Bruno's great-grandson who lives in the US. William was in Hurdle Flat at least in 1857 when he married. They then moved to Tumut area and on to Forbes. Which ship did Levi come in on? Chris and I have found that many times men from the US came together and certainly from Canada, and stuck together most of the time.
