Thanks for your kind offer David would you please see if there are any Egan names listed in the index.

I have had some delightful replies and offers of help both off and on list. This made me remember a book I have titled "Eucalyptus, Essence of Australia" a limited edition of 350 books by Des Shiel published in 1985. I once mentioned this book on I think the Victorian list many years ago and offered to look up names from the extensive index. I had a long correspondence with a family in the USA as a result. The book is "The story of the Eucalyptus oil industry - and of the "eucy" men, and their contribution to the Australian bush tradition." If you had family involved in the "Eucy" industry and there is a chance that might rate a mention in the book feel free to email me and I don't mind looking up the index and passing on any relevant information. I do remember that many of the people who asked before had no success but there is no harm in trying. Lionel Bray of St Arnaud rates several mentions as do his father and grandfather ie William Bray, father of the 20 children. Now I had better answer those replies I have to my Bray posting. My wife celebrated her 21st birthday again today so I haven't been able to spend as many hours playing with the computer and answering emails as I usually would.
