AUSTRALIAN PHOTOS
« Reply #2 on: Tuesday 23 March 04 21:53 GMT (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.
