Hi :-) My maiden name is OLD. I am 3rd Generation born out here in Tasmania, since My GreatGrandfather, Albert A. OLD immigrated in 1853 from Tarrant & Piddle Vallies areas in Dorset, England. I was born in 1951, youngest of 4, with only the 1 brother, which according to my father (1904-1975) was how the OLD family did things! :-) 3 of 1 sex and only 1 of the other. eg; 3 girls & 1 boy or the reverse. we have a 40-50 year gap between generations. ( but it has been a bit better since the 1950's on the female side. Not so much the male side though!)
Am seriously interested in hearing from anyone whomight have connections with anyone of the above surname,
