I am searching for the family name of Du'ring / During or similar. I have reason to believe that it may have been my gt grandfathers birth name. He was adopted by the Schulz family after his mother died on board ship coming in to Victoria and I have just found the death of a woman on the same ship as the Schulz family and I am assuming that he was one of the surviving children. If anyone has any information on this family I would be most interested. Kaye Vernon Beacon Hill NSW

Dear Kaye, The DYRING family were well known around Tallangatta Vic in the 1880's + Maybe a variation in spelling Maybe worth a check.
