I’d like to have a photo of my Hagenow family from the Chris Bath episode. It’s close to my heart because Johan Hagenow’s son August, the brother of Sophia (Chris Bath’s ancestor) was my great grandfather. I’d also like the video. Please advise me how I can get these. I’m so emotional right now. Carol Gardiner ( [email protected])
Hi Carol – you’d be best to contact SBS with your request.
Hi Carol, I too would like to get a copy of the programme. My wife’s (nee Springall) great grand father Frederick George Springall is the brother of Joseph Henry Springall. I have many descendants and forebears of Frederick George in my data base.
I tried SBS and they do not have the rights to the programme. They referred me to Warner Brothers Entertainment on (02) 9495 3100 but their phone mail box is “full”so they are not even taking calls.
Best of luck John CARTMILL OAM [email protected]
