Dear Valerie and list, In addition to research on my own family (from East London to Western Australia) I have been doing a one name study, as shown below, for nearly 30 years. I have a database plus card index and a large pile of references both of which I have not had time to enter into the database as yet. I am happy to share the info that I have to help others to sort out their ancestral connections. Valerie, I have quite a bit of info about the CROKERs of NSW and I would be interested to know where you fit in. Good luck with the list. -- Brian Croker, Genealogist, AAGRA Member No 1 Life Fellow Western Australian Genealogical Society Inc One Name Study CROKER/CROCKER/CROAKER, GOONS No 346 1 Myera St, Mt Claremont WA 6010 Australia Phone +618 9384 2475 Fax +618 9385 2184 email crokerb@bigpond.com
