Hi Rosemary There are several ways. I had never been to this site before, until today, when I received the original email which I forwarded. I explored and discovered, once I clicked on WorldVitalRecords.com that you can click on Record Types. then Recently Added Databases, and then scrolled down to find at least 4 temporarily free Qld ones. There are actually some fantastic things to find in other areas. My maiden name is unusual, and I put that in, on a general Search place, expecting to see my ancestors - which I did, but also at least 4 entries for ME, relating to my job before I was married nearly 40 years ago!!! so, good luck! :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rosemary M Chalmers" <rosechal@iinet.net.au> To: <aus-qld-brisbane@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, November 07, 2008 3:33 PM Subject: Re: [AUS-QLD-BRISBANE] Queensland ElectoralRolls/unclaimedlettersonline > Hi Margaret, > > I've gone to the web site and can find no reference to the Queensland > Electoral Rolls nor the mention of free access for a short time. > Any clues on where I'm going wrong? > > Bye, > > Rosemary M Chalmers > Palmerston Bookkeeping Services > Darwin NT Australia > rosechal@iinet.net.au > www.rmchalmers.net > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Margaret Greer" <mgreer1940@gil.com.au> > To: "Neil" <neil_williams@dodo.com.au>; <aus-qld-brisbane@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Friday, November 07, 2008 1:46 PM > Subject: Re: [AUS-QLD-BRISBANE] Queensland Electoral > Rolls/unclaimedlettersonline > > >> There is temporary free access to these on the same site >> WorldVitalRecords.com >> and if you look up a name successfully, you will also see: >> >> Queensland Family History Society Inc. aims to promote the study of >> family, >> and local history, genealogy, and heraldry, and to encourage the >> collection >> and preservation of records relating to the history of Queensland >> families. >> www.qfhs.org.au Buy it now address - >> http://www.qfhs.org.au/letters.html >> >> Good luck >> >> >> >> ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "Neil" <neilwillo@dodo.com.au> >> To: <aus-qld-brisbane@rootsweb.com> >> Sent: Friday, November 07, 2008 11:03 AM >> Subject: Re: [AUS-QLD-BRISBANE] Queensland Electoral Rolls/unclaimed >> lettersonline >> >> >>> >>> Hi there, I also notice that there is a database for unclaimed letters >>> in >>> this site.

Hi Margaret, Thanks for the info, have succeeded in getting to the right area. I had a quick look at the 1913 Electoral Roll for hubby's great grandparents, Robert and Mary Chalmers, of Howard Street. I knew the suburb had had a few changes of names over the years (Baroona Hill, Milton, Rosalie now Paddington) but had never heard of it been called Bayswater!!!! Surprisingly the daughter, who is at the same address, is given as Howard St, off Baroona Hills. Very confusing!!!!

Hi Margaret, My apolgises to other listers for sending this email to the mailing list. I have tried to respond to the email you sent to my own email address but it has been blocked (tried twice). Yes my husband is connected to that Chalmers family. Fay's father is my husband's great uncle and we communicate with Fay's sister, Betty (Elizabeth).
