It's also worth remembering that the NSW Pioneer Index 1788-1918 (Federation Series 1889-1918) on CD-ROM includes NSW Births up to and including 1918. I've had mine for many years and it's been extremely useful having births up to 1918. Unfortunately, my CD is now breaking down (there's something wrong with aluminium layer) and can't be read, so I'll have to get a new CD soon.
