Hello Val,

Welcome to the list. I hope you make lots of fruitful contacts.

My interest is in the families that settled Bethania & the Logan/Albert
areas and the early Kelks are included in the current family tree
(originally based on the publication, Bethania, the early years.)

Our web site is at the following address.

All corrections and additions to the Bethania Settlers List are most
welcome.

Regards

Russell Greig
