Perth March 2014:

Today in Perth started off with morning tea at the State Library of Western Australia with my mining experts, historian Lenore Layman, Richard Hartley (who just completed “Westralian Founders of 20th Century Mining,”) and Peta Chappelle, whose PhD thesis on “Merton’s Reward” explored the involvement of Charles Kaufman (Ken’s Baden-born great great uncle) in the Western Australian mining boom in the 1890s. They brought me the kinds of goodies genealogists love & suggested new avenues of research. Thanks to Michelle Urban from the local JGS for arranging this & providing lunch with the effervescent Eli Rabinowitz followed by a tour of Perth.
