Hello Everyone,
I'm a virgin to your list, but have been on the Qld list for sometime.

My forebears are an interesting mob. Good things come to those that wait, and I have shelved this family for 10 yrs or so, now the urge to know more or why has surfaced again and an obsession is growing.

So if anyone can assist, I'd love to hear from you.
