Indeed, it's very useful. Unfortunately the records aren't digitised, but nonetheless just the names and the dates in the meta-data often are useful on their own. Especially as NSW BDMs only give you the year.

I've been to 2 seminar/ lessons over time and the old site was still a challenge. Next month one of NSW State Records archivists is giving a 'how to get the best out of this new part of their web site' at my local library . Booked a seat a few weeks ago ! While only some passenger arrival records digitised they have quite a good copy service on a lot of the other records And some are on Ancestry . The best set of records there are the NSW Inquests Changes in access to QSA's records has been very interesting to say the least. Bye MargM Qld List Admin
