Due to a close family bereavement, I am unable to send you a newsletter this week.
My apologies. It has been quite impossible to focus on anything.

I have been passionate about history for as long as I can remember and in particular the history of my adopted home the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. Through my website I am committed to providing as many records and photographs free to any one who is interested in the family and local history of the region.
