    1. [AUS-NSW] Online Census?
    2. Linda Petty
    3. Hi Everyone - I'm new to Australian genealogy and to this list although I've been doing US and English genealogy for years. I haven't found an Australian online census but did find the Australian Electoral Rolls on Ancestry.com.   I've located the family I'm interested in, living in Calare, Orange, NSW in the 1936-37 rolls. There are 5 people at the same address.   I know 2 of the people were married to each other (Theodosia and Patrick Simmons) but, without a census, how do I figure out how the others in the house are connected?  And how do I trace the family back further generations? This family is my uncles line.  I never met him and know very little about his family. What I've found so far: Name - Arthur Richard Simmons, born in 1910 (registered in Tamworth, NSW). Parents, Theodisa and Patrick Simmons. He was married twice.   1st to Neilis Mona Rowe in 1939.                                        2nd to Jenny Stephenson in 1947. I think there were children in both marriages but I only know about one daughter. I'm going to be in Australia for a couple of months later this year.  Maybe I can do some in person research while I'm there.  My mom was a war bride (came to the US in 1944 on the Lurline) so I feel very close to Australia.
