Hello Judith Where you start depends on which State/area/locality you are searching - most states have Indigenous Family Research Units attached to their State Library and/or Museum - this may be a good starting point. For example, State Library of Queensland has a Indigenous Family History site at http://www.slq.qld.gov.au/jol/iru/famhistory.htm Most of these sites will have genealogy indexes, such as Tindale who went to many Eastern Australian missions and recorded family details. Links and other useful information may be found to assist your research - these are listed on many family history sites, including the State Library of Queensland site and include AIATSIS (Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies) in Canberra, ATSIC, etc. In addition, the relevant Government Department for Aboriginal affairs/issues generally has a family/community histories unit to assist Indigenous family history researchers, e.g. in Queensland the Department of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Policy has a Community and Personal Histories section - http://www.indigenous.qld.gov.au A useful reference is "Looking for your mob" by Diane Smith & Boronia Halstead, published by Aboriginal Studies Press, Canberra, 1992. If you have some names/dates, etc. it may be worthwhile to check the Births, Deaths and Marriages registers/indexes - bear in mind though that not many Aboriginal records were kept prior to 1900's. Hope this information is of some assistance. Regards, Des.

Follow your instincts! You'll have to try and trace family lines - surnames and areas. Beth Craddy

I am just new at tracing my family tree and have been told my Grandfather is quarter Aboriginal and am wondering how I find out if this is correct or not, I don't know where to start, so if there is someone out there who can help me it would be appreciated. Judith

Hi again, Would you have an email address in reference to the 1901 NSW Collectors Book as I didn't know that this existed and would probably be most helpful to my family research as and my ggrandfather originally came from NSW. After seeing your message I went ot phone the State Library if they have the item, so far I'm none the wiser as I've made three phone calls and kept being put on recordings and left messages. This is what my luck has been so far lately when trying to find out information and it's so annoying to but it nicely. Kindest regards, Desley (Qld) > > >

Hi Cathy, Just a follow up to the C-Z, in regards to Chapman and Wilson. This maybe a long short but did any of the names come from the Coraki, Casino areas. Regard Desley (Qld)

Hi Cathy, With regards to your research interests I had noticed the name Anderson could you please advise me if there's any connection to Samual Anderson the grandfather of Ruby Landford. Kindest regards, Desley (Qld)

In some states Aborigines had the right to vote before Federation, as a result many stayed on electoral rolls after 1901, it is worth checking electoral rolls,both state electoral rolls and commonwealth electoral rolls, but it can be a tediuos business, especially if state rolls are listed by subdivisions within the electorate. In such a case you need to know fairly exact locations or addresses. -----Original Message----- From: Cathy Dunn [mailto:cathyd@shoalhaven.net.au] Sent: Friday, 25 January 2002 4:13 PM To: AUS-KOORI-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [AUS-Koori] interest - Electoral Rolls It is still worth a look at early electoral rolls.

Araluen Gardens here on the West Coast is a tourist Area and very popular in the spring for its wildflowers, also lots of festivals held there I did a Google search and it gave some interesting sites for later investigation. Marge rebel14@iinet.net.au Perth Western Australia see my Family Names at http://www.wags.org.au/mid/8134.htm I do not accept emails with attachments from anyone without prior warning . Araluen means "place of lillies" whilst some say 'the place of lagoons and water lillies" It lies in Yuin region The name Araluen was used by many Aboriginals eg: Billy Araluen Araluen location is featured on the map at http://www.ulladulla.info/history/budawang/tribe.html Cathyd At 13:23 25/01/2002 +1100, you wrote: >Hello all, >Can anybody help with the origin of the word Araluen.

My mum has often talked of my grandmother (deceased) being called WAPNEE (pronounced Wop Knee) by her elders. I was wondering if you know what it means or have come across the word at all. Am unsure of the correct spelling to. Regards Hazel

It is still worth a look at early electoral rolls. I have found Aboriginals listed as early as 1903. Noting many of these people were not living at the Aboriginal Camp but on private property http://www.ulladulla.info/history/budawang/rolls.html A good selection of ER at http://www.standard.net.au/~jwilliams/act.htm which include early ACT and Jervis Bay & Wreck Bay Aboriginals and other references At 15:24 25/01/2002 +1100, you wrote: >For what it is worth, I went to an introduction to >Electoral Rolls at the State Library of NSW this >week and on the handout we were given re >eligibility to vote it said > >1962 voluntary enrolment for Aborigines and > compulsory voting for those already enrolled > >1984 compulsory enrolment for Aborigines > > > > >==== AUS-KOORI Mailing List ==== >Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, User Research Database >and Aboriginal links at: >http://www.stardate.bc.ca/ivan/sub_pages/aus-koori.htm Cathy Dunn
