Hello there,

I have a large chart of the big family of Tollidays living in Australia.

I also have access to print outs of birth, death and marriage dates including registration numbers.

I have started my family tree right back at the original immigration of widowed Jane Curtis Tolliday and her four children in 1854.

I have branches that lead from the two sons and the one daughter who have children.

I have written many journals here at Family Tree Circles. And from this I have been able to meet up with other Tollidays.

I also have a Tribal Page on the Tollidays in Australia. Here you can see everything that I have, see it growing and building up to be a very worthwhile history.

If you need any information or have something that you think may help me please contact me at your earliest convenience.

Good luck with your research.
