WILLIAM RODNEY JOHNSTON.

Hello to the Family, its been time to find you, but now again we are together, I am thankful for that and to those who took the time and effort to build the site and for the records posted.
My part of the JOHNSTON/E=GREGGS came to Tasmania.
They traveled on the SS Broomielaw (1856).
They had 10 Children, all born in Tasmania, Australia,
(portal.archives.tas.gov.au OR waratah.au )
Will give you a strong lead to many who came to (Van Diemen's Land) Tasmania, Ausatralia.
William Johnston died 13 Dec 1899, Ringarooma, Tasmania, Australia.
Jane Johnston nee GREGG, Died 08 May 1919.
Both Buried at Scottsdale, Tasmania, Australia.
I attend the site and am in the process of refurnishing the grave site.
I do have photo's, B,M,D certs in relationship to the Johnstone/s
William and Jane took up Farming in Scottsdale opened a farm and named it "LINDENS", On Minstone Road Scottsdale.Tasmania. The House is still there today, changed a bit but all the windows frames, door frames and fireplace are as was on day one when the Family lived there. William Johnstone and Jane Gregg are my Great Grand Parents.
I do hope to keep in contact and if I can help Family anyway from this end with Tasmania/Australia records Just ask.
Your Family Member and Blood,
Will R Johnston. 10 May 2010
