I don't have the answer to the question, but a quick and dirty lesson on
SOME e-mail addresses --

You can tell very quickly that Dean who orginally sent the message is from
Australia -- a couple of clues -- in his address is the phrase "ozemail" --
oz is an old, old nickname for Australia. I don't know how it came about,
but it is. Next -- look at the last two letters of his e-mail address --
they are .au -- the last two letters often denote the country of origin
where the domain is registered. In this case, since they are .au, the
domain is located in Australia. Now -- granted, someone could be calling
long distance into an Australian domain, but that would tend to get pricey
after a while. A list of domain country abbreviations can be found at
http://www.ip-law.co.il/DomainNames/d7about.htm.


Now -- the third clue (to me) that Dean is interested in Western Australia
rather than Washington State is that the name is aboriginal in origin --
BTW -- the other place he is intersested in is in the State of Victoria.

Sorry if I have been preaching to the choir --

Aloha
Wayne

Dean,

Were the locations of these families in the state of Washington or in
Australia? I get fooled by the WA abreviation all the time. :) Also, it
would help if you could supply us some dates to work with.
