Headlines of Old


TROVE TUESDAY 1st August 2023, UNCLAIMED LETTERS..1888, if only we could read them... " NO, they aren't available for researchers, or anyone else to read." 

"Yes, they most likely have been destroyed." 

"Sorry, I have no way of knowing if any of these people mentioned have been found."

They are helpful in that at least we know of one place that people might have been… Feel free to share..
