Hi from Brisbane Josephine We are safe and dry here in Brisbane having relocated from Rockhampton just before Christmas. Rockhampton was also greatly affected by the devastating floods. Thanks to all on the list for their concern.

I was jotting down a list of the names of B & S members in Queensland, when Rosemary's message came through earlier today. The B & S has had a number of Queensland members, over the years, and I had missed some names out. Some of them may not be subscribed to the list at the moment, but my thoughts are also with Lynette, Carole, Marie, Susan, Jackie, Michelle and Paul, too. More thoughts concern the books and resources of the Genealogical Society of Queensland. I hope that they survive the floods. Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com
