Thanks |

| I would like to thank my wife Jenny, who has continued the
work of running a home and also looking after Leah and Andrew while I have spent about
1000 hours on my genealogy hobby. Jenny has allowed me the time to tour the country side
to take photographs, interview people, read old newspapers, search for ancestors in
cemeteries, pore through shipping, inquest, naturalization and school records, look at
birth, marriage and death certificates and write over 100 letters on my Amiga computer,
asking for and giving information. On behalf of George William HUDSON's descendants, I
would also like to thank my father Wallace, for financing the brass plague at Melbourne
Cemetery. There are many people who have contributed to this book. In alphabetical order,
I would like to thank the following. -
Max BUNGE; Lesley CLEMENTSON; Craig CURTIS; Heather DAVIS; Lindsay DEGENHARDT; Ray
DEUTSHER; John, Ron & Coralie GERLACH; Dorothy GORDON; Ron HARVEY; Bert HERMAN; Betty
