Hi,

I am looking for the Carroll side of my family. My grandfather Is Kevin John Carroll (born circa 1926). He married Alice Elizabeth (beth) Lee. Kevin's father I believe was born in Australia, Joseph Carroll (circa 1890). He was married to an Vera Harkensee. I have Vera's family, some of it but have no leads on Joseph.

Can anybody helps with a connection? Or maybe some advice? I ahve really hit a stump on this one.

Thanking you for your time,

Melissa Green.

jan,

thankyou for looking for me...

My grandfather was born in on june 17th. His mother was vera harkensee. He was born in Australia.

Thankyou for looking for me, I am just at a brick wall with Joseph carroll, Kevin's father. I have lots of info on kevin's fathers side but can't seem to get any connection with his fathers side. I've been going at this for about 3 months straight so maybe I need to come back to it after the new year, give myself some time to relax without thinking of the tree every other day. I know it might sound silly but maybe my problem is i'm looking at the same things over and over. I need to be fresh and start again...

I really appreciate your help jan, it was very nice of you to look into it for me, thanks again.
warm season wishes,
melissa

What area did Vera's family come from.See they come from Victoria,it is a pay per view site

Just did a quick search and there is only one birth for a Joseph Carroll from 1890 - 1910 it will cost you 99 cents to look at it about 39p
