I'd like to just add a bit about SAG and encourage researchers to at least visit them, if not join. While they have all of the films and fiche you find in most public libraries these days (plus more), they have an excellent collection of books, family histories, local study group newsletters and much more. They also have large collections which have been donated to them, such as card index files and so on. I have found heaps of material relating to various branches of my tree. Note there are 2 buildings, one for Australia and the other for overseas collections. Both are in Kent St in the city. The volunteers on duty are also extremely helpful and knowledgeable. cheers David > Resent-Date: Fri, 5 Jan 2001 02:55:04 -0800 > X-Original-Sender: [email protected] Fri Jan 5 02:55:03 2001 > From: "margm" <[email protected]> > Old-To: <[email protected]> > Old-Cc: <[email protected]> > Subject: Re:Answers > Date: Fri, 5 Jan 2001 21:45:01 +1100 > MIME-Version: 1.0 > Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > X-Priority: 3 > X-MSMail-Priority: Normal > X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2919.6600 > Resent-Message-ID: <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Resent-From: [email protected] > X-Mailing-List: <[email protected]> archive/latest/214 > X-Loop: [email protected] > Resent-Sender: [email protected] > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Judy Rowe" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: 05 January 2001 19:25 > Subject: Re: Is they anyone there > > > I did post these more as examples of a Q & A .
