AUSTRALIAN PHOTOS
« Reply #2 on: Tuesday 23 March 04 21:53 UTC (UK) »
As a child my mother lived in Australia, but I very much regret I never really showed any interest in her childhood, and now it is too late.    However her brother is still alive and he told me where they lived and I was able to find photos of the area on the following site.    They are old photos some going back to 1930s when my mother would have been there.  I found the site fascinating - even deciding I could pick out my mother in a photo of the local school girls!!!

Hope someone else may find this useful.

The National Portarit Gallery has an online gallery with a fully searchable index.  I found an ancestor of a RootsChatter here today.   Grin

Take a look,  maybe you have an ancestor there too.

Search by sitter to get portaits of your ancestors.
