Despite being able to prove my relationship to Eliza Jane I need to get approval from the next "in line" to have it signed over to me. Who are they and how do I find them? ... <br /><br />Here in Australia we are beginning to honour the "burial places" of our Indigenous people and bringing their bones back from Universities/ Museums across the world... as well we should!!! However, at the same time we're desecrating the "burial places" of our colonists/settlers.<br /><br />Thanks for the post Julie. We do have to find a way to stop this!!! <br />Regards, Catherine. <br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
