Research Interests - January 2000

In researching both sides of my family, the genealogical net has spread far and wide. From Poland and Ireland to England and then to Australia.

There is, according to family history, a direct link with a Polish Count, my gggrandfather Gustav Veldamari Lazzerini, supposedly shot by the Russians and whose son, my paternal ggrandfather, was exiled to Siberia, subsequently escaped and made his way to England. So far we have been unable to substantiate this story. Perhaps someone out there might be able to help.

An equally puzzling story on my mother's side is that of Gertrude Farrell, an adult, who accompanied my grandparents, my mother and her brother, to Australia. Apart from the fact that she did arrive on the s.s. Bremen in 1908, extensive research has failed to find any further trace of her.

Should you require any further information about the names listed below, or if you can help with either of the above mysteries, please contact me at eljay@iinet.net.au
