Australia to Japan 1869
« on: Saturday 08 November 08 20:25 GMT (UK) »
My Great Grandparents travelled to Japan from Kingston South East South Australia
in 1869
I have always wondered how they did this.
Can any one surmise their route
Can anyone point me in the right direction to research their journey
