A person you might want to communicate with is Sammi Hoy. I don't know how to contact her. Maybe she will see this and contact you. I know she is on Facebook. She came to the first reunion. I don't know if she came just to the reunion or whether she was already in the UK/Black Country at the time. She lives in Australia too. I agree with Linda Searching the records is very interesting and time consuming. This group might be able to help you more. (been there, done that - that is how I met this "crazy" group.) I have been grateful to them more than once. They are generous with their time and resources.
