This photo was taken in Batavia, near the Theresiakerk / Theresiakerkweg is what Ben had originally posted ;Theresiakerkweg translates to Theresia Church Road .  [marked in blue below]                                   - In an attempt to clarify the location of the place - the house the Drysdales were living in I contacted the Catholics at St.Theresia's Church after 2 years of silence I contacted  Mariam , She contacted Peter Drysdale who actually lived there - he says the house is on Lombok street [marked in green below ] . I have a  friend with connections in Jakarta - So maybe more information  is coming . 

Making conections

The more information you can give about the people you mention, the more chance there is of someone else connecting with your family.

Dates and places of births, deaths and marriages all help to place families.

Professions also help.

'My great-grandmother mother was a Douglas from Montrose' does not give many clues to follow up! But a bit of flesh on the bones makes further research possible. But if we are told who she married, what his profession was and where the children were baptised, then we can get to work.

Maybe it is time to update the information in your profile?
