Robert and Miriam Smith
We hope you find something of interest to you.
As with most sites - building, adding and changing is a never-ending job - so please check back regularly for updates and new pages.
They were born on 12 March 2000 and were
3 weeks old when this photo was taken
- still in hospital.
They are growing up quickly, and were joined by a baby sister, Skye, in August 2003.
All of our ancestors emigrated from the UK to South Australia between 1838 and 1927 and we are both the result.
Most of the information contained in these pages was mainly obtained from talking to living relatives and from researching public records. In the course of doing this research, I've discovered that I have many more relatives than I ever thought possible! I have also had the wonderful help, not only of many 'cousins' but also of many folk who are not related to us.
There should be no person listed on my databases that was born after 1910 and if you find any faults on any of the pages or have further information, please email me.
