Read their story

Family tried twice. Second time with success. Jan & Elizabeth had 6 sons & did not want them to live their lives working underground in the coal mines. Jan also suffered from coal dust on the lungs, but the climate prolonged his life. The family continues to grow and prosper in Australia.
