I am researching descendants of William HARPER of Cambridge, ENG who settled in Wagga Wagga, New south Wales, Australia. I haven't been able to establish his true parents yet. I'd be very interested to hear from anyone who has HARPER lines in Australia. There is one HARPER line from Uriah & Rebecca HARPER that may be related. Uriah's family spent a number of years in Goulburn, New South Wales. If you have any connections in Australia with HARPERs please let me know. Following are my interests.
