UNCLAIMED LETTERS 1888  Trove Tuesday 21 Mar 2023 

Unclaimed letters can be intriguing. You can't help but scour the lists in the hope that you will see a familiar name.Before we explore them further, let me answer the same questions I am always asked when I post these lists..

" NO, they aren't available for researchers, or anyone else to read."

They may lead to an area that an ancestor lived in or worked near by.

Feel free to share, the title is the link.
