Hi Moya,
Congratulations on 6 years of your blog! Time sure does fly.
Your stories hold a lot of interest for me not only as a descendant of goldfields families, but as a genealogist the information you supply gets me thinking ‘outside the box’!
Cheers

Hello Moya,’
Congratulations on 6 Years of this Site. I’m not a descendant of any goldfield families, but I really enjoy reading all the great information you provide, always great reading. My main preoccupation at present is working on the Second Reunion for my 3X Great Grandfather William Baker ‘Convict’ from the Second Fleet, who arrived on the ” Hell ” Ship Neptune in 1790, which is to be held in Windsor NSW – June 2020 – not all that far away now. I look forward to reading more of your stories, and wish you well for the years ahead Moya.
Regards Robyn
Love your site. Look forward to each edition. Congratulations on your six years. You are an inspiration to all who treasure their history.
Thank you for the research of my grand-parents (Lancaster) who married in Coolgardie. I hope sometime in the future to travel to meet you.
Regards,
Julie Lee
