The CD Rom will most likely show no baptism after 1855 (for NSW) but birth registrations. - so check with the region churches or historical /family history to see if they hold the records. The 1901 NSW Household collectors books will give Aboriginal names and household numbers. The collectors also did Aboriginal camps. The records are on microfiche at NSW State records and most large libraries. Many family history groups also have purchased the fiche. The records are listed by districts/regions.

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) > > >

Hello Cathy Are these books, the census or are they different. If they are different are they from particular areas?
