It is often the case Marge... I have not been able to find one of the thirteen children of my Friedrich Habermann..and Susannah Harvey. Of the twelve found, there were only two I think where the surnames were spelt correctly. This young man, George Habermann, without a birth registration, was accepted for the Queensland Police Force..and even awarded a Medal for Bravery.. Cheers Gay --

Sure have Marg, births in Toowoomba and births in Bowen... I've tried spelling names wrong, tried mother's maiden name, spelt her name wrong.... Have you tried Baptism records.

Hello Annmarie, What do you have on this person... what time span are we looking at... where did he/they come from.... are you sure they came to Qld ?

I am seeking the assistance of WALKER Families in Queensland to help me in getting any ancestral/genealogical information on this rather elusive character. Information that I have is that he was born James WALKER in Rotherhithe, London/Surrey, UK about 1893. Unfortunately, I don't have any positive information regarding his address or parentage. It is possible that he migrated to Queensland about 1910 where he had family interests. I cannot establish what these interests were. For information purposes I have checked through shipping lists etc.. and have found a few 'possibles', hence my query. James later became a member of the Merchant Navy (Aust) and served on many ships around the Australian Coast and Overseas. I have 'stacks' of information on this. I suppose, that what I would really like to know. is this.? Is there any member of the WALKER Fraternity in Queensland who has any information on James, such as his arrival in Queensland, his relatives in Queensland, and in fact, anything at all regarding his ancestry.? James remained in Australia and died in Adelaide on 18 Dec 1955. Any information would be greatly appreciated. TIA, Jim, in Queensland.

> Kerry, did you correct the entries as you went? Do you mean correcting the OCR-ed text on the NLA site? If so, yes and no. Some other people have done a lot of corrections on BDM notices already. In particular, one user jdickson2 had already done a huge number of corrections. But I did still find the occasional entry that had not been corrected or some that still had mistakes even after correction. So I did do some corrections when I spotted errors, but I wasn't putting any great effort in it as I was more focussed on doing the index. The dilemma I find with doing corrections is that I start out saying "I'll just quickly fix up the names so they can found by a search" and then before I know it, my perfectionism has me fixing every little word and punctuation mark and I've wasted a lot of time doing it. I love reading those old newspapers. When doing the index, I found it was very easy to get distracted reading the news of the day, but the upside of that is that I occasionally stumbled on an article about how someone died (floods, horses bolting, heatstroke, etc) and I added those to the index as I figure family historians would like to know about such articles. If anyone spots any more of them, send me the URL for the NLA page and I will add them to the index. Kerry

Well done Kerry, ignore the jibes there are always those that wish to knock others down instead of congratulating them for all the hard work they do for the benefit of others. regards Kerry

Kerry, appreciate all you do, yes I am a member of a society but can't always get there, fuel, wear and tear, photocopying etc.... and when you search for other people including overseas friends, its great to have things at your fingertips.... so great applause to you for all you do...

GSQ might very well have done this indexing, but it is not freely available to the public. A large proportion of researchers live outside of the Brisbane area, or they are on a "shoestring Budget", and do not have access to GSQ records. I appreciate all the work Kerry does, in particular the Cemetery site, and it is a pity that there are not more like-minded people. Jan

Hello Kerry, Might I ask if you have an interest in the parents of Robert Doherty? James DOHERTY and Mary CRAWFORD are my gg grandparents. I have a photo (not a great image) if you wish to have a copy, as well as a fair amount of family history ~ James and Mary's daughter Esther was my g grandmother. Kind regards, Brenda
