This is a shot n the dark but I am doing research on my father’s side of the family . An all I have to go on is the name last name Lucas in the states. They owned land with oil on it and slaves many years ago. Just recently I went to Australia on holiday and felt very at home in Sydney and Melbourne . While there I saw drag racing on t.v. and saw the Lucas last name sponsoring one of the cars . It was Lucas Oil and it got me looking for possible Aussie roots. Maybe the family split and one of the brother’s went to America from Scotland . Any info would be awesome.

Thank you
Stephanie Jackson

Hi,
Thomas Murrat Westlake is my gg-grandfather. I only discovered this recently, and have been trying to find out more information about the family. I was very excited to read your post. I’d be happy to exchange information with you if you like.
Regards,
Michelle.
