Hello from Queensland, Australia

[annegen]

Hello. I'm from Queensland, Australia and have been researching my Australian family history for the past two years. I've now just started to trace my ancestors back to England which is both exciting and challenging because I don't know the names of many parishes or counties or where to source English records, but I'm slowly learning and look forward to learning more from other forum members. My surnames of interest are HARBIN and WALL from Somerset.
Thanks,
Annegen
