My 3xGreatgrandparent, John Walter Sloan and his wife, Eliza Grier Sloan had two sons leave Kittanning Pa in the 1840's to search for gold in Australia. Their names just sit in my database with no information. Then Connier Mateer who runs the genealogy library in Kittanning heard from Ronald G. Sloan who lives in Victoria, Australia (and sent his letter on to me)...looking for any info about Walter and Eliza and their ancestors. He didn't send any info about what happened to Issac and Walter Jr, but I am very excited and even though he just wants info about the great grandparents, I'm printing all the Sloan items I have. I hope he will return information about the two "lost" Sloan kin. Nice to have cousins down-under...perfect excuse to go visit Australia. Beth Sloan
