Victoria - Effect of 'Black Saturday' upon genealogy
« on: Wednesday 18 February 09 02:45 GMT (UK) »
Dear RootsChatters,

Hi.  Being a Queenslander we have been kept informed by all the media about Black Saturday and the continued fires in Victoria.  It has been devastating to watch all the images, and hear the emotional stories.   It's frightening to read that the fires were similar to 500 Hiroshima bombs simultaneously.

Everyone is doing as much as they can to fund-raise.  And with continued support everyone will all come through it, but I am sure it will take many years.

I was wondering what effect the bush fires has had on all the local Family History Groups of Victoria, not to mention the various cemeteries etc.


God Bless,
Alison.
