Hi Dot Rob There is a database called "Colonial Tasmanian Family Links." But any info on it should be double checked with certificates where possible, as the info on it was mostly put there by people's descendants. It can be found on the following website. http://www.archives.tas.gov.au/ There is lots of other info there for you to look at as well. There are some that are online and free to search.

Hi Dot, It's not a BDM index and you can't take anything for gospel, but you may find it helpful. :) Colonial Tasmanian Family Links database http://portal.archives.tas.gov.au/menu.aspx?search=8 Though from memory it only goes to about 1900. It always helps to post an approximate date & parent's names, so other people can help you. :) Kind regards, Sherrie. -- http://www.silkweb.com.au/ On Wed, 11 Oct 2006 01:58:16 +1000, Dot Robertson <andover41@ecn.net.au> wrote: > Hello Listers, > After getting the help l needed from Di,l got lots of info on about > eight of > our ancestors and relatives,l only have one hiccup......is there a BMD > for > Tasmania separate from Australia ...it seems my Eric Kendall Robertson > was > born there ..from all info l have, that seems the most likely place to > search?????? > DotRob Qld thank you in advance > --
