I am interested in your information but am also somewhat ignorant. By state archives, do you mean Australian archives? I have not quite figured out administrative divisions in Ireland and I know nothing about Australia. I did get some index information forwarded to me about Australian passenger lists, with a woman named Norris listed on one. I am not quite sure what to do with that. If these records are by state, does a person have to look state by state? I guess I would like to know more. Thanks.

Hi Loreen Not sure whether you have had any further replies to your request - am having trouble with my computer and emails. What, or who, specifically, are you looking for?
