Hi,

My name is Mathieu.

I was born in Caen, Normandy, France 46 years ago.

When I've learnt 5 years ago that my mum's grand father was born in Australia, I decided to try to learn more about him.

He was born in 1884 in Coatamundra. I found informations about his mum, born in Yackandanda in 1862.

His grand ma was an orphan arrived in 1850 from Ireland via Plymouth on the Derwent.

I'm still looking for when and from where his mum's dad arrived in Australia. His name was Thomas Andrews, he was american.

I'm looking for where his father came from in France.

Maybe I can find people here to help me.

Thanks for reading me and sorry for the mistakes.

Mathieu
