Request for Question Clarification by pafalafa-ga on 04 May 2003 17:43 PDT

Hello there,

I wish you well with your search -- and it may be that someone can
find out information/pictures about Kennerley -- but I have to let you
know that the rules of the road here forbid researchers from actually
tracking down lost acquaintances...I'm providing just a bit of
information here that may be useful to you or another researcher.

There is a report in the Rare Collections room at the U. Tasmania
library:

charity	orphanage	1925	Kennerley Boys Home Report	M19/92
http://www.utas.edu.au/library/info/collec/arch/SubjectD.ascii


Contact information for the collection can be found here:

Perhaps one of the researchers can find out something more for you.

I am sure you'll get a 'real' answer from a Google researcher, but I
found this site and thought there might be some useful links for you
to begin your search for mates from Kennerley. (No relation to Kerrie
Ann is it? ;-). Best of luck. It's called the Armchair Web Detective
and it has specific information for Australia.
