Thank you so much for your time. I can't believe the info you have given me already. I also didn't have the year they passed.

The file has been digitised and you can either save each page or print it.

This is a link to the first page
http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/NAAMedia/ShowImage.asp?B=4692633&S=1&T=R

Is this the file you viewed?

Yes Cando This is the file I have but nowhere in it does it say where they went after they disembarked. Kerry

Here are a couple of websites you may find interesting to get some background on the Migrant camps.


An article from the local Parkes paper about the 50th anniversary:

I have misunderstood...I thought you were applying for the linked file from NAA.  

I wonder if the file on the Passenger Arrival Index would be helpful.

According to the 1980 electoral roll they were living at 9 Alluvial Streeet, Parkes.

Sorry Cando
It may have been the way I explained it. I have the immigration papers for both grandparents and Izabella. It is the passenger arrival file I am waiting to here back from NAA.
Could I ask a question of you. Are the electrol rolls for that area available online?
