Hi Peter, Names were often spelt in various ways. Have you tried entering fewer details in your search or using the * option when typing in the name? I have been searching for Delzoppo listings and have found the name was spelt at least 8 different ways - found I get the best results by searching for *ppo OR *ppa OR Del* you might like to try something similar with your name and see if it helps. good luck, Brenda ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter O'Sullivan" <sullivan2076@hotmail.com> To: <AUS-VIC-GEELONG-DISTRICT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2004 11:40 AM Subject: [GEELONG] Help required with locating a birth certificate > Hello, > > I cannot locate a birth entry in the Victorian BDM index. > I have tried via Pioneer Index on microfiche and also via Maxi on-line. > > I know the name, parents names, year of birth (1880) , place of birth > (Geelong) and a registration number. > However when these details are entered, no entry comes up. > > The name is also mentioned on the mother's death certificate along with the > age of the person. > > Can anyone help? > > > Many Thanks, > > Peter > > _________________________________________________________________ > Hot chart ringtones and polyphonics.
