Special thanks to the following family
members:
Danielle, Australia, for giving me the start I needed on the Evans
family, and Kathleen and Neil, Ireland-Ukraine. They are a lot of
fun (!) and have given me pretty much everything I have on the McLaughlin
and Hamilton side. Thank you!
Cousin N on the Smart side of the family, for information (and valuable
research) about William Henry Evans and Susan Smart in Melbourne in the
1880s. You're wonderful!
Jim, Australia, who has supplied a very large portion of the information
and photographs you see on these pages, and provided the key to the Payard/Palgard
mystery. Thank you Jim - a true officer and a gentleman!
My mother and aunt, who have also provided a wealth of information and supported
this endeavour. Thank you ladies!
Last but not least, my James. Thank you babe. :)
Is there someone missing from here who should be here? Please let
me know.

A "man of Ross" who not only gathered information but went out of his
way to take photographs, nearly getting run over in the process! Thanks,
Gerald!
