Hi everyone, I would like to ask if anyone has a member of their family, maybe from this area or Glos in general, left good old England and legged it to another part of the world seeking fame and fortune. My family lore states that maybe a couple of 'uncles' (both born 1850s) left in search of their fortune possibly in a well publicised goldrush of late 1800s (say, 1880-1900). I think it a possibility that several young men from the same area would decide to leave England together (you know how it goes with young men, they enthuse each other and do things as a group) and I wondered if anyone on this list has a family member who did the same thing around the same area. I was hoping they had more information than I have and that I could crib from them. I have no leads to work on, no landings listed in US (I think the Alaskan Yukon find was within this timescale), and nowhere for me to think of finding out where these young men went to. I am in desperate need of some firm guiding hand in this matter. Could anyone help?????? TIA. Carol
