To all I am trying to trace my Great Grandfather who was called LONGLAND Herbert Howard. He was a 2nd Lieu in the A.F.C. in WW1 and came over to England in 1916 and went back 1919. He was born in England but somehow ended up in Australia. He came out of the A.F.C. in 1920 but I cannot find where he went from there. The only address that was given was G.P.O. Auckland but he did live in N.S.W at one point. Is there anyone who can tell me on what to do to find him. Thank you Rachel

I am currently compiling the Family Tree for this Family from a number of sources as well as my own research. All people in NSW (and Australia) with this name are related to the same two convicts. Peter Oonery alias Brown (AKA Omeroy; Honneroy; Honery; Honary; Homery; Onery etc) and Martha Grover The name finally became HORNERY or HONNERY with some other stray names thrown in for good measure!! (Marshall; Ford; Groves; etc) I have a lot of information to share and am keen to hear from anyone with this name or who have this name in their own tree, or have heard of the name. Looking forward to hearing from anyone who is interested. Regards Michelle Hornery

Researchers in family history in NSW are fortunate in that our state has a particularly dynamic registry of births, deaths and marriages. Their free online web service at http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/Services/IndexSrch.html for consulting the historical indexes is remarkable and rare in the genealogical domain, and the forward-thinking people responsible for this initiative deserve to be congratulated. I was recently cheeky enough (there's no better word) to ask the NSW registry of BDM a naive question: Why can't researchers see the actual records themselves on the Internet? I expected that their reply would invoke, primarily, certain ethical considerations. After all, BDM records are sensitive data, even when they relate to old events, and it is reassuring that they are protected by a government authority. In the friendly reply I received from a person at the registry, the question of confidentiality issues was indeed mentioned. But I was slightly surprised to learn that the main reason why they don't release their records in a "self service" style on the Internet concerns the down-to-earth matter of money. Apparently, the NSW registry of BDM is self-funding. That's to say, to finance their operations (including staffing costs and technological development), they need the revenue generated from the issue of certificates. Reading between the lines, I have the impression that it would be technically feasible for the registry to propose electronic images of certificates at a reduced fee (with respect to the fee for paper copies), but it appears that no such plans are currently envisaged at this level. I thought these remarks might interest list members. William Skyvington Gamone 38680 Choranche France
