The Federal Government took some time to get organised. It didnt take over emigration til c 1924. If their State of arrival was WA , you maybe in luck as WAGS have just published a CD of passenger arrivals from abt 1896 I think There are some early 1900 indexes for Victoria and Qld, but none for NSW, TAS and unsure about SA Bye Marg Morters Beautiful Central Coast of NSW Australia
