Can you tell me which port they arrived - Vic, Nsw, etc? I could try to find some information for you.

When I started researching my Polish ancestors many years ago I didn't know yet that official records are often incorrect regarding spelling of names and locations and that they should be interpreted with this in mind. Like many of us, I struggled with misspelled, distorted, and incomplete given, family, and place names in genealogical records for years until I finally found out that my paternal grandfather's parents came from the villages Dlugopole and Banska in the district of Nowy Targ.
