I am going to enjoy being a member of this Group. There are going to be some beautiful brides and bridal parties from our pioneering past. Even more than that it looks as there are going to be some fascinating stories about the couples and how they came to be married. Thanks for this history - some fascinating reading, to be sure!
You as a member can make this happen by posting the stories and photos.

Hello Kathleen, I'm not sure what you may already have on the family but I could do a check of the local papers for obituaries if you don't already have that info. I note in our pioneer register that an Andrew Boyle has listed the Armstrong and Graham families. Also interested to see they came from Ballintarson. I believe one of our members was looking for a property by that name just west of Terang...maybe a family property??? If you want me to do some research for you, you will need to let me know what you already have so I don't spend time doubling up on research. When are you going to Ireland? I have a commitment that will take up most of January but will be able to do research after that for you if you so desire. We have a research fee of $20.00 if you want me to proceed. Perhaps you could email me at: historysociety04@hotmail.com It's easier than using messanger I find.
