Hi from Australia. Hope to come to St John's in 2015 and have been researching my great great grandmother and her family who arrived in Melbourne Aus in 1865 from St John's. Her name was Maria Ann Saunders (Pilley) . I don't think many people came from St John's to Aus . The voyage took 4 months but will take us approx 36hrs. I wonder if they realised it was so far away. What a great site. I have found so much information on the family history going back to the late 1700's.
