Dear Vern, The West Australian Can You Help? column came up trumps very quickly for us. We are now in touch with 2 "new" cousins. Their gt grandparents emigrated around 1905. Thanks to all concerned.

Thanks for your email. I have just now sent off a request. I hope I have the same luck that you had.

Hi Vern, I hope you have the same success I had with the WA can you help? column. I found my father-in-law's cousin at 6am the day the add was published. We had no idea of her age, we knew she was younger than my f.i.l, only her maiden name and the rumour she had come to WA during the second world war to marry a wheat farmer! I also got help from WAGS (Western Australian Geological Society Inc.) e-mail: [email protected] website: http://www.wags.org.au What a thrill it was to visit her last November, she was 83 years old.
