Hello I do hope that I am still a member of the mailing list as I haven't used it for a long time. I am compiling history for a databse on "The Blacktown Shire WW2 Patriotic Fund" and keep coming up with abreviations of their "Rank" and other things on records. I have made enquiries to some Military Archives to no avail so am hoping SKS will be able to help me. Today I am writing a biography for the displays on 24 & 25 April and have come across the following. Herbert John Dodd joined the Royal Australian Navy in 1921 for the first time. On re-enlisting their is an abreviation beside the date of enlistment "R.A.F.R." if anyone can explain these letters I would appreciate the help. His Rank of discharge is also abreviated and is "CH STO" again help is really needed as I have nearly 1,300 names and information entered onto the database and some are very abreviated. If anyone has a connection to Herbert John Dodd of Blacktown who was born in Devon 1892 and died in 1953 and is buried at St. Bartholomew's Cemetery, Prospect NSW. I would love to hear from them. If anyone has someone who fought during WW2 and may have received a comfort box and lived within the Blacktown Shire I would appreciate hearing from them. Regards Hazel

[sorry if I sent this before. It is in my "sent items", but I didn't get a copy myself, so I don't know what happened.] Just signed in the List again. I am looking for DRAFFINs in Victoria. the family came from Girvan, Ayrshire, arriving in Hobart in 1855 on the Conway. Soon moved to Creswick. Father was John, married to Mary TAIT. Children were Hugh (2 of them?), Samuel (2 of them?) David Dalton, Mary (2 of these too?) Isabel(la), Janet, Charles and possibly another whose name I do not have. Some may have moved to other goldfields. Terry.

Hi there. I am brand new to Australian genealogy. I have found that my grandmother's brother, David Coutts, moved to Adelaide in the late 1880s. He married alma. David was born in Aberdeenshire, Scotland in 1863, I belive that David and Alma had 2 children, Donald and Norah. I would appreciate any advise as to how to reaearch this family and which mailing lists I should be using. There is a chance that Donald Coutts is still alive. Where would I find out if there is a listing for him? Many thanks Elizabeth Canada
