Posted on: General China Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/China/General/10348 Surname: ------------------------- Came across your message through Rootsweb. Though I am not researching the same name I know how frustrating it can be trying to find out Chinese information in OZ. There is a new Australian Chinese Family History Society just 3 months old with their own mailing list. If you are interested I can give you a contact email to sign up for the mailing list, which will tell you of meetings and other peoples research in Australia. Otherwise happy Hunting

If you could please email me the details for the new Australian Chinese Family History Society. I am very keen to learn more.
