Hi all..

I have been trying to find as much info on Gwendoline or Gwendolyn Barnard. She was my Great Grandmother. Also, Maureen May Barnard - my Grandmother. I know that my Grandmother died about 29 years ago.

I know who is related to who, but I really want to find out info on who they were as people, their lives,  health issues, personality traits and info about what happened happened to the family back in the mid 60's.

I can't ask my grandfather or my mum about it, but I know something happened which caused a great division. if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Darryl!

That's great.  I will add this and compare to what I have in my family tree.  It looks like you have gotten further than I have.

By the way, my surname is Lilai.  My mother's surname is Barnard. Obviously, I have taken after my father's name

Hi Alison/Dazza.

John Edward Barnard (son of Frederick and Margaret Barnard frmly Hibberd) is my great grandfather.

I have been trying to work on my family tree for the last couple of months.  I am so excited to see your response about finding an extensive family tree that relates to this... and PICS!

Currently, I am trying to find James Barnard's parents.  James was married to Catherine O'connor who had Frederick Barnard married Margaret Barnard who had John Edward Barnard and the other siblings.  I have a BDM certificates that state they were all miners over in Bendigo/Sandhurst.

Will love to hear from you guys and would absolutely love to see those pics! 

Thanks a bunch!

Danielle.
