Prosperity in a new land - Australia
We have been talking about "following the money" as a way to find the ancestry of our Pioneers. This project will list pioneers who:
1. Came to the country with very little
2. Became very prominent in the new country 3. Became wealthy in the new country 4. Were heavily sponsored in fields such as arts, politics or business
Please add profiles to this project that fit the above criteria. We can also look at possible subsequent generations, not all connections were known immediately.
This project is not designed to "sing the praises" of these families, but, more to assist in working out their connections to "their country of origin" and others, mostly, to solve the mysteries of the past.
- It would be helpful to have similar projects for the US, India, South Africa and the East Indies.
