Hi List, I am also new to this list and was wondering if I can be helped with some info?? My GGG M was Margaret Houston, born 1823?, to William Houston and Janet Lyle. She moved to Australia sometime in 1840/50 with some of her family. One the way over she fell in love with the firstmate of the ship, Christian Blom, and they were married in 1954.
