UNCLAIMED LETTERS...Trove Tuesday 3 Jan 2023

Unclaimed letters can be intriguing. You can't help but scour the lists in the hope that you will see a familiar name.

Before we explore them further, let me answer the same questions I am always asked when I post these lists..

" NO, they aren't available for researchers, or anyone else to read."

"Yes, they most likely have been destroyed."

"Sorry, I have no way of knowing if any of these people mentioned have been found."

Of course, that won't stop us wondering.. what if?

They can be helpful in that they may lead to an area that an ancestor lived in or worked near by. When searching, try to ascertain as to what industries/businesses/farms were in the area mentioned. You just might find the names mentioned in Trove in newspaper reports or notices.
