Keith,I don't see any connection in our lines unless you have a connection with one of the earlier crawfords in my line,thanks for the reply tho.Sincerely Janet Keith Crawford <[email protected]> wrote: Janet, I have only recently joined this mailing list, and this is the first time I have seen anything relating to Australia. My GG grandfather was Robert Crawford who I think immigrated to Australia in the early 1800's. He was born in Scotland (I think) in 1819 and died in Australia in 1883. He married an Elizabeth Hall and they had 4 sons and 2 daughters. If this line of family is of any interest to you let me know and I will forward whatecer information I have to you.
