This blog is in addition to my HOPE Family History page which can be found at:
http://stemmata.googlepages.com/
which is an attempt to chronicle the family of Thomas Hope, born 1810 [c] at Ancrum [SCT] & who, together with his wife [Alice Armstrong] & their 9 children emigrated to Australia in 1856, landing at the Port of Melbourne but settling at Hynam [SA] & then in & around Apsley [Vic].
For the sake of preventing "identity theft" of living descendants of Thomas & Alice, the names & other identifying details of persons who are presumed to be still living have not been recorded in this account UNLESS they have specifically provided written permission [to the Chief Editor] for their information to be included.
