Unpublished Thesis
Society of Australian Genealogists: Diploma in Family Historical Studies Thesis. Below are the two pieces of research that I submitted for my Diploma. It was originally in Word Perfect and later migrated to Word and unfortunately the footnotes seem to have migrated differently but it is all still readable. Of course the illustrations are not in the document but if anyone is interested please contact me. Also since 1992 I have progressed with my research and ideally I should write a sequel. While I ponder that idea, you have the benefit of this 1992 work.
