As soon as possible I will have a link here where you may check my family
tree to see if we are connected.

| Hi my name is Geoff Slocom and I have
only just recently returned to the net, as a result of this my home
page was deleted, and I am just starting to rebuild it, so please be
patient with me as I will soon have things back up and running
again.I have been tracing my family tree for about 5 years. The
catalyst for my search was the death of my father Ivan Ernest James
Slocom. It was at his funeral that I realised how little we actually
knew about the family. |
| My grandfather had imigrated from Ilfracombe Devon England to
Melbourne Australia with his two step brothers William Alfred Joslin and John henry Joslin.They arrived in Melbourne on board the Irishman in 1913 travelling as unassisted british imigrants.He died when I was only four but I have been told that he was reluctant to disscuss his Family or the reasons as to why he left England leaving me with
a legacy of brickwalls and false leads to sort out.

ILFRACOMBE |
| I am happy to say that through a long campaign of
letter writing and researching at our local family history library
aided by some plain old dumb luck and good contacts on the net I
have been able to build a fairly comprehensive picture of my
Slocombe family in Ilfracombe. |
| One of the surnames I have been lucky enough to recieve help
with was the Davie family of Ilfracombe, although I am still trying
to find a little more about my great grandmother Clara Davie.
