: Hi Belinda,
:
: I found your name on the list of 'helpful people'. I'm researching my
: family history and have come as far as Sophia Peters, born Gin Gin in
1868.
: Her parents were Peter Peters and Angnetta Peters (maiden name unknown).
: Peter was a farmer. Sophia married John McHenry from Ballarat in 1887 and
: they moved to Victoria and had their children. I don't know anything
else.
: I wondered if you might have come across any of these names in your
: travels, perhaps in a cemetery? I'm in Victoria and finding it difficult
to
: find out anything about Queensland family history. Thanks for your time,
:
