I understood that in the early days there was a deliberate policy in SA not to record the landings of immigrants. i don't know when it stopped. On a visit to adelaide a few years ago I went to the local genealogical society and found a number of records about O'Grady's including some who were well known to the Law cheers jon On 27/01/2013, at 5:56 PM, Lyn OGrady wrote: > I found that too, have checked NSW marriages, would be happier if I find how he arrived here in SA.
