    Hey Everyone,

    newbie here, I’m from Australia and doing family tree research on my granddad and his side of the family. We are generation from WW1 and WW2 on the Czech/Austrian side.
    I have loads of picture my grandad took during WW2 and looking to identity some pictures if possible (not people just places)

    happy Information hunting!

    Welcome! We have a few feral Aussies running loose here. Plan on gelding at least one of them soon. (You know who you are.)

    Yes it’s the ‘build up’ at the moment…a 6-8 week period of heavy humidity with no rain to cool things down…but we have had a drop or two this week…not monsoonal rain yet.
