Dear Diane and Lists,

The northern part of Tasmania is as you say a very part of our early history
and I will indeed keep that in mind when I get my VDL & NI Group up and
running. From my email I have 20 new interested descendants of NI exiles.

Diane I will be away all of February taking some friends on round Tasmania
holiday (no not on the Lady but by car so if you are still in Hobart after
the 1st April please contact me.

I have moved house and am now at 2/5a Marys Hope Road Rosetta 7010
phone 62722124.

Regards

Irene

connectioin to VDL. With the 2004 bicentenary coming up fast I thought I
would remind people on the list that there were two distinct settlements.
One in the south at Hobart (Feb 2004) and one in the north (Nov 2004) in the
Tamar region, firstly, at the present day George Town, then later at York
Town and Launceston. A few NI people came to the Port Dalrymple (Tamar
River) region very early so there could be some connections here also.

November. So, Irene, can you bear this in mind also. I will be visiting
Hobart in the next couple of weeks so we will be able to get together on
this.

the early days (about 1804-1820 ish) maybe you would like to let me know as
I have a lot of info on the early northern settlement.
