Mother was Violet Dorothy Gliessert.

I am Susanne Yeing, I had 8 sisters and 3 brothers living when I was born in 1949 plus 1 brother deceased.

Mother's siblings were Blights, do not know much more than that, except what is on here.

Any one related I would love to here from you, I now know there is an Aunt in Queensland who is my fathers brothers wife.
Thank you all

Thanks so very much.

Mother's sister was Florence Blight, we all called her auntie Babe, i know there was an Ada Blight sister (maybe  Aida) and Grant her brother but other than that no information. Mother was  Violet Gliessart.

Thanks Susy

Hi jenwindy,
Finally have confirmation that Elizabeth Jane belonged to John and Helena DAVIS nee Reid, thankyou  :)

I'm related through the REID family.   Helena's sister Catherine was my GGGrandmother and she married Thomas Stuart SMITH.

I have a little bit on your side of the family and would be happy to swap some information.

Regards,
Sashar

Hi
 I have been trying to trace my family history for some time without much sucess. Unable to get back any further than Arthur Davis on the Davis side of the family, and Adam Reid on the Blight side of the family. I would love to find out When they came to Australia and from where.
