Hi All I advised Lisa 'off-list' of Joy Murrin www.joymurrin.com.au but I am not associated with her at all. The Vital Records are by the LDS and not available in Australia as stated below. However, NSW also has three CD's available: NSW Pioneer Index - BDM until 1788-1888 NSW Index - BDM - 1889-1918 and NSW Between the Wars Index - Death & Marriage only - 1919-1945 The data drive in controlled by a DOS program "KAwareF" and is a little difficult to navigate until you get the hang of it. Certainly not a window based program although it still works on any of the windows computers. (Do not know about other operating systems such as LINEX(?) and AppleMac) AND no, I do not know where they can be obtained from.

Hello Liza, and other listers, What I have now become totally confused about is this Liza............. Is it an Irish birth death or marriage certificate that you wish to know about or is it a New South Wales certificate, Irish certificates are available from GRO in Dublin .............. The Vital records for births and marriages ends at 1864 unless a later edition holds more on the CD's so what year are you referring to and where abouts are you seeking information from or who about.
