A big thankyou to everyone who sent me sorrys and answers to abbreviations a couple of you have gone to the trouble of listing the 50 states and guided me to other sites I have yet to explore. You are all a wonderful group of people and I have enjoyed my first few days lurking around this group and recieving help for all sorts of reasons. If I can help anyone with facts, figures or persons of Australia, in Victoria, particularly I would be happy to try. I am also a Part-time Bachelor of Arts student (mature), majoring in Womens Studies and Australian Studies apart from my interest in my four family trees. Thank you Mary and everyone else. Your 'top' people! Jane.
