Oh dear.  More of them!

Well all I can say is at least the intelligent seem to be procreating, but 
nowhere near as fast as the ... oh sorry, I'll shuddup now!

Congratulations and you didn't even do anything for this effort!

Ahhh, so he's a possible cobbler!  Now I filmed an interview with a Cobbler 
last week.  She's about 20 something, makes shoes in the name of PRATTEN in 
William Street Paddington and I tell you, she's probably doing better than 
the average IT pro!

Wow, you've done your research!  Any chance you can help my find my Great 
Great Grandmothers Aboriginal homeland??  The Aboriginal LINK agency was 
only able to tell me what I already knew.

>His wife Sophia Wheeler was the daughter of James Wheeler

Any possible relation to Ross Wheeler - Albury Local Internet?

My GAWD!  Our families knew each other!  AAARGH!  Apparently in the 
yesteryears, my great's somewhere up the line owned the land between 
Chatswood and Hornsby or something like that.  Another connection a cousin 
I know nothing about and is of little interest apparently held land title 
over the Forestville to Frenches Forest areas.

My wife's family owned areas of Coffs Harbour and our joint rellies 
(remember Suzanne and I met on the Internet, and then discovered we were 
cousins just before we got married)  had a very large property we still 
can't track back at Bathurst.
