    3. I agree, it's a fantastic site and many thanks & cheers to the wonderful people who are doing all that work. I can't wait till they start updating more years and then putting up some of the local newspapers, but that'll be a long while off yet. I have found a few notices referring to my family also, mostly family notices. But then I haven't gone vey far into it yet. Anyone can correct/update the information, if you zoom right in you can read the text easily (unless the ink is faded or smudged) and then find the corresponding entry in the column on the left hand side, click on the line and correct the text. :) -----Original Message----- From: Maurie O'Connor [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, 9 October 2008 8:14 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; 'aus-immigration'; [email protected] Subject: Re: [AUS-MELBOURNE] [AUS-QLD] NLA newspaper digitisation project -a great site forinformation on family members & online accessto databases Fantastic project, isn't it? I can lose myself for HOURS reading fascinating little snippets. Some even about family members! The electronic 'translator' seems to have a bit of trouble reading the print. I started correcting some and then (selfishly) though, hang it. I'd much rather read. An absolute gem. And many, many thanks to the person (?) who originally posted the address on whatever newsgroup.
