Good morning all. Further to Des's research options in relation to the BDM search, if you use Aboriginal as the surname on Birth, Death or Marriage search option, quite a few records will come up. Also using Aboriginal as the given name. If you do this do not use any other initials or names in the Surname or given name columns respectively. If anyone is looking to view the old Aborigines Inland Mission records contact can be made at AIM - Australian Indigenous Ministries at P.O. Box 21, Lawson, NSW, 2783. Phone (02) 4759 2616.
