Cedar Raw   24 Apr 2011 

Researching my Family tree. I'm from NSW Australia. All I know is that my Great grandfather John Raw emigrated around (very rough estimate) 1900 when he was 3 with his father also John Raw from England, possibly Durham. And that they were Miners. The Raws who settled and were born here also became miners. Just wondering if I may be related to this John Raw
