Sorry for the wrong link, this one should get you there, just got to Births Deaths & marriages http://www.justice.vic.gov.au/ This is what is says VicHeritage Family History The Victorian Registry holds records dating back to 1836. The earliest of these are church registers of baptisms, burials and marriages for the period 1836 to 1853. These church records do not contain as much information as the civil registrations of births, deaths and marriages, which commenced on 1 July 1853. The Registry offers three services that will help people trace their family history: 1. Search Births, Deaths and Marriages on the Internet This service allows you to search the Historical Index database of recorded births from 1836 to 1924, marriages from 1836 to 1939 and deaths from 1836 to 1985; or to look up the Family Group database for couples that married or began having children in Victoria between 1853 and 1860. The Family Group database links parents and their children together and includes some events not registered in Victoria, e.g. children born overseas and overseas marriages. If you locate an index record relating to your family you can then apply for a certificate of the event.

Jan, I am disappointed to hear that Maxi still has its problems. Twelve months ago I ventured in to that site and I thought it was fantastic until I clicked on the wrong button by mistake and couldn't return to the previous page - it gobbled up my money as well. The good news part is that I sent an email regarding the problem to the contact person and received an almost instant reply. Then, surprise, surprise, about four months later a letter arrived from the Justice Department (a bit scarey) and in it was a cheque refunding the $8.50 I'd 'lost'. So my suggestion is that you email an explanation of what has happened - and then be patient. I figure that if Maxi gets enough feedback that one day they will fix the problem but if people just accept they've lost the money why bother...... a good revenue earner! I was very polite and said how much help the site was because I really do think it has great promise - if only they'd get it right with the credit card bit!

Hello Everyone on Gippsland List. At the risk of getting overwhelmed with requests, I do lookups on all Victorian Birth, Death and Marriage Indexes. Please check out the Gippsland site and follow the links or contact me direct. Regards Joy Light

GREAT BIG WARNING - never, NEVER EVER use your browsers back button when using Maxi, particularly once your credit card details are in. DONT USE YOUR BROWSER'S BACK BUTTON. URL for Maxi is http://www.maxi.com.au Cheers, Tom (Tom Perrett) <tomp@st.net.au>

A couple of points - a) the URL seems to be incomplete in Dianne's message and b) I'm not sure why you say "back on line again, but now you have to pay" - it is my understanding that one has always had to pay to search Victorian BDM indexes through Maxi. And a word of warning if you haven't tried to search the indexes yet - Maxi is very unforgiving if you click the wrong button. It is also unforgiving if you click the right button sometimes. Several times I have found myself with a debit of $10.00 when the system has "locked me out" either because I've clicked the wrong button and can't go back, or last time when I clicked the correct button and the system took me to the wrong place and I couldn't go back - yet I had only "spent" $3 or $4 of my minimum $10.00 initial charge. It gets worse - if I had wanted to start the search again (and risk another $10) I would have to pay to re-view all of the pages I've already viewed which didn't have "my" ancestor's information. e.g. I've looked at four pages of names and registration details, and on the fifth page I get locked out. There are, say, three pages to go. I search again, and have to "spend" 50c per page to "view" the first five pages again, even though I have already paid to view them (and lost a further "unspent" $7.50 of my $10.00 minimum) and know that they don't contain the person I am looking for. I do have to say that the delivery of ordered certificates can't be faulted though. I searched late one Thursday afternoon and had the certificates in my letterbox (snail mail!!) on the Monday morning. Even got an unexpected bonus - for on looking at the "additional" entries on one death certificate I found the entry for a daughter of the woman I had sent for - complete with her married name and names of children, previously unknown!!

Hi Di, No Beers in my family but - I lived in Sale between 1970 and 1973 and remember the Bandmaster of the Maffra band was named Jack Beer. Maybe connected to you? Lauris

All Listers I apologise for my message going through three times, yesterday David Cheek - Adelaide

Hi Listers, My Beer family is my brick wall- There doesn't seem to be anyone around?? I have a George Beer married to Mary Adams. them and their children arrived on the ship the Bermondsey, their daughter Elizabeth died on the voyage over to here, one question is where did they come from?? their son Job Adams Beer married Sarah Annie Hallett, My Great Grand father was born to Job and Sarah- his name was Thomas Arthur later changed to JOB-why??? Job jr, married Edith Rose Davis. My Grandmother Daisy Beer was born 1910 Kyneton Victoria!! there are several other children that I have some information on. Any help with any of this family would be very appreciated, I am more then happy to shear what I have. Cheers Di

Hi Listers Don't groan, another one, well maybe, I must leave that up to you. I have read some of the messages and articles in your archives, so I am familiar with Dr Alexander ARBUCKLE and my query has nothing at all to do with him. I am chasing an ARBUCKLE family who moved from Horton in Tasmania in 1861, for sure who came to Victoria were Margaret ARBUCKLE (nee SIMS or SIMM) with a daughter Jessie, b. 1844, perhaps a husband Dr John ARBUCKLE, b. unknown, perhaps a son John Murdock, b. 1846, perhaps another daughter Ellen Bruton, b. abt 1854. Jessie ARBUCKLE married a Henry Ryder WHEELER, b. 1838, in 1866 and she died in Sale, 1915 at the age of 70 years. Jessie had a daughter Jessie Caroline WHEELER, b. 1867, who remained unmarried and died in Caulfield in 1941. Isn't it amazing the 2 Jessie's are the only part of the family, other than a daughter Elizabeth who never left Tasmania, who I have been able to reconcile, so my request to you kind people in Gippsland for some help, please....... There appears to be a degree of certainty that they went to the Gippsland district, what is most uncertain is what became of them. As we who some family research this is the greatest of the problems encountered. In the Vic BDM's a Margaret ARBUCKLE shows marrying a Patrick Henry HARRINGTON in 1875, perhaps, Dr John ARBUCKLE was deceased by then??? Best regards David Cheek - Adelaide
