Hi accam, this is a long shot - I am great grand daughter of Albert Sydney French (b.1865) and looking for Frenches in Australia - saw you had an Edith French- do you know much about her? regards Hoody

[accam]

Hi Hoody

Yes I knew Edith very well she was my Great Aunt.
The French family in Tasmania goes back to Francis and Ann French who left England with their children early 1820s
Francis was one of first preachers in Launceston

If you have a Tas. connection I can look for him in the book  "Go ....be fruitful and multiply"

cheers
