Hi everyone, I am trying to find members or links to the "GOODE" family in Sydney. My great grandfather was Amos Ashley Goode born in 1906 Rockdale, Sydney. He was one of 13. I have photos of his family and his parents who were Amos Goode and Lydia Maria Maude Heard. I would love to find someone who has them in their tree. I have not been able to put any names to the photos apart from my great grandfather and his wife, Emmeline Ikin. All I know from my grandmother before she died is that Amos and Emmeline were something of the black sheep of the family, they didn't have much contact with the family. I'd love to know more. I have managed to put together a fairly decent file of names and dates. I've been able to trace the Goodes back to Warwickshire in the 1790's. But as I've said it would be so nice to find some descendants of them, and my cousins. I have no one in my famly who is alive that remembers any of the Goodes or information about them anymore. thanks
I think the photo was taken about 1924
