Hi Rootschat members in Brisbane
I have a big ask! Does anyone in this group live near the State Library of Queensland in Brisbane? I live on the other side of the world so unfortunately can't get access to the library. I would be really grateful if someone could spare the time to access the Thomas Wontner Correspondence and Photos that are held at the library to see what information is available.
I am trying to establish whether Thomas Wontner (who was the son of Richard and Jane Martha Wontner) are related to my direct family line
It would be totally amazing to see copies of the photos and letters.

Hoping that the archive will shed some light on Thomas Wontner and his family.
Thank you in advance

And really disappointed that someone is being sarcastic and tracking when I have logged on and commented about me not replying 😥 That's not very friendly. I have a busy life apart from family history.
It is evident now that you have an extensive knowledge of this Thomas WONTNER.
My efforts and that of others here endeavoured to 'Shed more light' as the the Archive material was difficult for you to access.
No sarcasm was intended in my remark about your lack of response.
Response is expected and looked for as that is the nature of a forum.
Despite, enjoying a busy life with wider interests than doing family history research for others, I frequently check back to previous posts I have made in order to see if further help is requested or whether the information offered has been of use.
I can't see why you would feel "disappointed" or that it was unfriendly.
Ah well, ewontner was online just an hour or two ago but has offered no comment on the information offered.
Hope it was useful

It is a simple matter to check when users were last online and any forum member can do that as well as viewing a user's previous posts and ongoing responses to them.
Best wishes in your WONTNER searches.
