WOW Tim, I'd have given my right arm AND my eye teeth to have found such a wonderful album. What a once in a lifetime find, I don't think you'll ever top that one. Fantastic.....Dawn
Occasional postings about photography - I collect earlier New Zealand photos preferably before about 1910. I am not fussy about if they are Carte de visites, Cabinet cards, ambrotypes, daguerreotypes, postScards or albumen prints. I am getting to have quite a large collection now so need to start getting fussier about what I collect from now on.

Thanks Dawn - I was blown away when I got it too. It should really be in an Australian Museum somewhere.
I am still doing the research - there are quite a few published books on this family and a suburb in Melbourne named after them.
I am still working on the connection between the Australian people and the New Zealand ones.(If there is one!)

I am a descendant of Georgiana Huntly McCrae and would appreciate you making contact with me in regards to the wonderful album in your possession.
With kind regards
