I am the daughter of Phillip Shortland and granddaughter of Ralph Shortland. My gt grandfather was Joseph Anthony Rodrigues (b.1863) married to Emma Shortland, and he then took his wife's surname. Are we talking the same Shortland family here? If so I have a plenty of info and photos to share. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
