Yarwoods in Australia

Hi Amanda,
My name is Ian David Yarwood.I live in Perth, Western Australia.I am the son of William Charles Yarwood who had two brothers - Alexander Turnbull Yarwood and John Yarwood.My father and his brother, Alexander ("Sandy") are both dead but my uncle John is still alive and lives in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia.
I understand that Uncle Sandy (who had been an Associate Professor of Australian history) traced our family tree back to the 12th century after visiting the UK.
My line of the family tree came from a Yarwood who came to Australia (Adelaide) in the 1840's.One of my ancestor Yarwoods was killed under a dray in the Victorian goldfields int he 19th century.I understand that I am reasonably closely related to most of the Yarwoods in the country Victoria although I have never met any of them.
Sandy had one son Craig and uncle John had one son, Peter.I am the only son of my father.I have no close Yarwood relatives in Perth except my two sons, Stephen and Matthew.
My uncle John has a reasonable amount of information about the family tree but I have relatively little.
Maybe this onformation is of some use to someone.
Regards - Ian Yarwood (my email address might be changing soon but I am in the Perth telephone book)
