  • Buryats in Australia

    From Leonie Oliver@21:1/5 to All on Tue Oct 3 20:03:25 2017
    Hi all

    I was recently in Ulan Ude, Russia and was told a story of some Buryats who arrived in Australia probably around 1920-may have been a little later.
    They left Russia during the civil war that occurred just after the
    abdication of the tsar, were robbed, and a sea captain took them to
    Australia, where they worked (?as slaves?) for a sheep grower, probably in Victoria.

    I have been able to verify bits of the story, but the woman who told me
    about it would love to communicate with any of the descendants. She is
    also Buryat.

    She speaks excellent English-her grandfather told her the story.
    Has anyone heard of this story or the existence of a Buryat colony in
    Victoria?

    A long shot I know, but if anyone can help, it would be wonderful.

    Regards

    Hi Leonie

    Are no BURYATs in the online Whitepages and none in NAA record search ?

    Buryats are an indigenous group of people from Siberia, not a surname.

    Hi Judy
