Luke and Campbell Families in Brisbane

[rosball]

The Courier Mail has a Tributes site
http://tributes.couriermail.com.au/obituaries/couriermail-au/
where can search for death notices in all Brisbane newspapers for past week, six months, year. etc.   But it is misbehaving for me ...

I can't see a contacting family section  ...

Yes Neil - an incredibly sad time with so many deaths.  It's impossible to imagine how they coped with so much tragedy.

Hi Gary,

There are lots of submitted trees on Ancestry for these families in Queensland.  One can be contacted through Mundia which is free - you just have to register.

Hi Debra,
Thanks for that reference, I have found lots of info on Mundia. I have made contact with a few descendants, they are full of interesting stuff including photos.
I've tried ancestry before on a trial period but haven't come across this site. I've uploaded my tree for anyone interested.

Many thanks again,

Gary
ps and to Ros, very helpful too, G

Hello Thistle76!

Sorry not to have seen your post about Campbells in Brisbane until now, but I am responding now! I am a great-great-grandson of John Campbell and Elizabeth Hoggan. Are you a relative still in Scotland?

Happy to help out with information.

Peter

Hello Peter,
   A warm welcome to rootschat 

   I'm so glad Gary has connected with relatives.   I'm sure he'll be along soon.

regards

Hi Peter, sent you a private message if you can get them. I'm finding it hard to navigate here! G

Gary - I could read your PM, but not reply. Happy to connect directly by email at doctorchicken  [at] gmail  [dot]  com.  Yes, Campbell Luke was a cousin to my grandfather (Martin, son of John)

Hello Thistle,

Not sure if you're still here on this forum. I've just joined.

I am the granddaughter of Flora Kelly Campbell and Alexander William Adrian Foreman.

We could possibly exchange information?

Kind regards
Robyn

Hi Robyn, I think I have tried to make contact with you before and can’t seem to remember if we chatted or not. Happy to exchange stories and pictures. I think Kris Haynes has posted a few and I’ve taken quite a few of mine from her. Not sure I am her favourite person after I questioned one of her captions and she wasn’t very happy with that. But hey ho!
I’m descended from Lizzie Ferguson, younger sister of John Campbell who emigrated to Queensland in 1911 I think. She died in aberfoyle and I have very vague memories of her. I live in Glasgow which is only 30 mins away from Drumlean.
