Wow, what a great addition to the Geelong History Data. I had a quick look for a surname Ive been searching for and low and behold there was the man I have been looking for. My question now is what other data is to be found other than the date and admission number? Is there more information to be found for each of these people? The ones I found were: DEDMAN, James in 1864 DEDMAN, Alma May 1913 DEDMAN, Gladys Violet 1912 I did come across a shock one he was listed under the name of DEITRICH, Fredk, Charles, in 1914. This surname is spelt DIETRICH so I would not have found it except it stood out being the only one listed (He was my great grandfather and I had no idea he was ever admitted. So it was a shock to find him, but also interesting to find out some more about his life). Is anyone able to find more information on these 4 people for me please. I am unable to travel to Geelong as much as I would like anymore so it now makes it difficult to research these items in person. Regards, Melissa

Hi Melissa, We're all human - in the excitement of finding a relevant entry, you forgot to read the information about the registers! Go back to the home page for the "Index to the Admission Books of the Geelong Infirmary and Benevolent Asylum" and read the details there - in particular the last sentence in red - that tells you to look at "Locating an Entry" which is a tab near the top right. And there's your answer! Read it carefully and then you should be able to find the details either in Geelong or at any LDS Family History Library (which also includes the GSV for anyone who goes there in Melbourne). And also remember if you're looking at INFIRMARY or BENEVOLENT ASYLUM entries! Regards .........
