Steve

Suggest you alter your heading to something like "Carrolls NSW Australia" to catch the eye

I have" nudged " up a thread on the "Find Ancestors Board" where Cherilyn can sometimes help

Hi Steve
Have sent you a 'pm' suggesting you contact the 'Ask a Librarian' service at 'NSW State Library' (on-line).
The 'National Archives of Aus' (on-line) shows the family's arrival in 1966 and gives their FULL names - in particular their son Kenneth has 2 'middle names' -which should make him easier to find.

Hi Stephen -
Contact the 'QLD State Library' (on-line) it (also) has an 'Ask a Librarian' service - they will check their electoral rolls -and trace Kenneth from that address.

Hi Stephen

The 'Qld State Library' should soon find latest address for Kenneth -then you will be on the right track in finding his parents. You're nearly there!

(if desperate maybe you could write to him -at last address.-and mark envelope 'please forward')

I'm sure you'll hear from the Library soon.
