AUSTRALIAN NEWSLETTER
Australian FlagI have agreed to become the Editor the new KFHS Australian Newsletter. It will go out three times a year to all Australian members as a supplement to the main quarterly Journal, and I need all our Aussie members to help make it a success.
If you have anything of interest to share I would love to hear from
you. May be you have come across an interesting book and would like to tell us about it or a new web-site: perhaps you would like to share some of your family history "finds ' with us; whatever it is, please help to fill the pages of your new means of communication.
Contributions can be sent to me direct by email attachments in 'Word', or by mail to:

I hope to hear from you soon.
