Trying to trace William Johnson NSW Australia

[Definos]

WOW!!!!!!!  Thank you all so much!  Really, with all my heart, thank you!

My mum passed away after a terrible 5 year battle with cancer - doctors believe she carried a BRCA gene due to the type of cancers she had. 

5 years ago I was diagnosed with two cancers and tested and found to have the BRCA2 gene and that is why I am also keen to find out more about my family tree now.  I actually started searching prior to being diagnosed.  It had to be put on hold.  It has returned a second time and I just have such a strong desire to find out as much as I can so that someone else can carry on the family tree.   

You have all been amazingly helpful!  I can't thank you enough!

That is so sad Karen.  We are all pleased to help.   

Brilliant find Cuppa    Can you see a number or year on the divorce file?   I am sure Karen would like that photographed too.

You've read my mind Ros!  I would love it! 
Can't believe how wonderfully helpful you all are! 
I keep getting tears in my eyes!   
What a great bunch of people!  Clever ones at that!

To find my grandfather, my mum's father is amazing!  Well I didn't but you wonderful people did! 

Coincidentally my husband just collected my DNA testing kit from the post office!

Thank you Jamjar!  Excellent!

If there is anymore information  on the 'Johnson' side of the family I would be greatful.  That is the side I am related to (I believe) along with the O Donnell - thank you so much!

[rosball]

I have reported the failure to locate the JOHNSON divorce as a failure with their new system.  (well they did ask  )

And I added the failure to find the HYDE divorce as another test case.

Hopefully they will get back to me with the item number for Darrell's divorce so I can order it and photograph it.  Perhaps they will also fix the problem.  It's very frustrating as I searched in various ways without any success.

Just shout if you see any other relevant files Karen.
