VIC/SA lookups please :)
« on: Monday 10 December 07 14:25 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find info about my Stepdads family.
To make it "easy" I will put everything I know and leave the rest in your capable hands :)

Dads parents are/were:
Arthur James Jenkins c1915 -  present, born Sebastopol, VIC
and Lorna May Sperber c1920 - 2003, born Pomonal, VIC

Arthurs parents were:
William/Bill Jenkins, ? , ?
and ? ? ?
They had about 10 other kids, mostly boys, only 2 girls, Lydia & Enid.
I think only Pa & 1 brother are still alive.

Lornas parents were:
Albert Max Sperber, 1890 - ?, born Tanunda? SA (did find a war record for him on the NAA site)
and Annie Eva ?, ?, born ?
They only had a few other kids, Joyce (living), Paul (living) & Edward "Ted" (died in an accident in the 50's?)
I don't think there were any others.

That is all I know  :-\

thanks,
Belinda.
