G'day Ada, Last time I was in picking up a certificate, I asked about Digger & missing certs. The bloke said they use exactly the same database and that I'd be surprised how many records are not listed with them. I said no I wouldn't, I've been searching for years:-) Basically, if it's not in Digger, they don't have it.. Cheers... Pat...
