It pays to call them and book a computer but does not cost anything unless you print out pages. They also have a lot of fiches and other records which may help your aunt fill in pieces, such as post office directories and newspaper indexes on fiche. They have a good handout of what is available and which library has it. Also some info on their website about what they hold www.erl.vic.gov.au I am sure nunawading and box hill also have quite a few records. . http://www.wev.vic.gov.au/Page/page.asp?Page_Id=109&h=1 is their website re genealogy. Seems doncaster has a lot of their info but they have a brochure you can download on what is where. Not that I or other people mind doing lookups for others, that is the great thing about genealogy, everyones is usually very helpful. But sometimes its exciting to find the pieces yourself. hope it helps Linda :)
