Bosisto/Bosustow in Australia

While looking through Linda's tree, I spotted some Bosisto names in Australia, mostly South Australia. So, I had a look in Aussie Whitepages. And yes, there are some Bosisto names scattered around the place, in South Australia, Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia but mostly in South Australia.

But there are Bosustow names as well, with listings in Western Australia, New South Wales, and Queensland, but mostly in Western Australia.

Maybe I'll draft up a letter to send out.

Both the National Archives of Australia and the Australian War Memorial hold war service records (1914-1918 and 1939-1945) for Bosisto and Bosustow names.
