Hello Everyone This message is to announce a new list to cover yet another area of Victoria. Called AUS-VIC-NORTHWEST it will cover the area north of the Western Highway through the Wimmera and Mallee to the Murray border. I'm sure there are lots of you out there who have ancestry in this part of Vic. I have several Wimmera families whose names I will put up. This List excludes Maryborough and the area within the Golden Triangle, which is covered by the GOLDFIELDS List. Looking at the area covered by the NORTHEAST List, the Eastern boundary goes as far as the towns of Echuca, Rochester, Elmore and Goornong. As Horsham, Stawell and Ararat are technically in the Wimmera they will go in this list also. No matter how hard we try there will be some fuzziness between Lists. If in doubt about borders, why not join both lists? So if you think this is your area, go for it. Subscribing info below.
