G'day again, many thanks to Hazel and Sam for there respose to my enquiry. So far, in my search for Gary Douglas Bird, I have contacted all but 3 G Birds in the brisbane phone book. I havn't had any luck, yet. The next things I would like to know, is if any oneout there has the cd rom for the Queensland registras, Births Deaths and Marriages? I think this may halp my search, unfortunately, the Qld gov. likes to charge money for this information. The next question is, how does one check an electoral role ? and can it be done cost effectivley (ie. free). I feel like such an amatuer. Anyway, once again, thanks to all that have helped. have fun from Kim-Lai. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!
