Living Person Hunt

[jimjean]

Looking for relatives of my uncle. He was born in Crainlarich, Scotland and emigrated to Australia about 1951. I believe he lived in Nowra N.S.W. And had a daughter (*). My name is James Davie Hunter and now live in Canada. I would appreciate any information about relatives in Australia. My username on RootsChat is jimjean.

The deaths on NSW bdm only extend to 1979 so not much help in this case.
