Thanks for your prompt reply Carole. My sister is the one who's asking, she tells me that William was born in Australia, and she has dates as well as ship's log of parents carried as migrants. She will give me dates (but alas only by snail mail). It leaves me wondering though, because she actually wants photos of them pre 1940, and I wonder how she'll get pics except to contact living relatives, or from profession's yearbooks or newspapers. A daunting task. Do you know by chance a site like this in Australia that allows for forum searches for free? Cheers, Peter
