Spring 1949. Daphne far right in back row and Kay 1st on left in front row. |
UPDATE: 2/3/13 – After one full year, I am happy to announce that the Steinbach and Hastings were reunited when Kay read the below story.

I have never posted anything about finding a person related to genealogy, before.
I received an email from the Hasting’s family that were looking to find the family of Kay Rose Yvonne Steinbach.
The Hastings have done what everyone does when they are looking for a long-lost person. They check ancestry.com, but they have not been able to find the family or whatever happened to Kay.
I know that you all love a good mystery, so I thought I would post the information and see if anyone knows of a Steinbach or Webb family. These photos are wonderful and I am sure the Steinbach/Webb families would enjoy seeing them.
If you don’t know any Steinbach’s or Webb’s, but you have done genealogy searches and you can give advice to the Hasting family on how or where to look further for information, I know they would appreciate it. Check out the other cool pictures at the end of this post. So here is the info:
Sadly, Daphne died in a motor vehicle accident about two years later. Our attempts for some years with Ancestry.com have proved fruitless. We are anxious to track her down because it is 70 years since her father died in a training flight accident at Pembroke Dock, Wales 19th July 1942.
I am not related to Kay but she, her mother and father boarded with my grandparents, Roy and Hilda Stidston, in then number 61, now 77, Woodend Rd, Ipswich, Qld, Australia 1941-1942?
I do have photos of Kay, her mother, her father and Warren Webb. My brother, Kenneth, was named after her father. My parents and grandparents were very close friends.
We are going to the Memorial Ceremony in Pembroke Dock this year and would love to find Kay or any of her family.”
If you have any tips or ideas, please leave them in the comment section so everyone can learn how to go about searching for long-lost family or email MPofA and I will forward the information to the family.
