Janis There does not seem to be any sign of any of them. I found Bridget and the marriage of Austin but that is as far as it goes. have you have anything saying they were in the area or is it possible that only Bridget came out with Austin, maybe the others died in Ireland as well.

Hi Darlene I have both Family Tree Maker 2005 and all the Vic CD's plus a few Interstate CD'd all happily running the with Digger Software on Win XP Professional so the is no reason why yours should not run either. I also had FTM 7 running as well prior to switching to FTM 2005 and it too runs perfectly so I doubt its the operating system. You may still have hardware problems but more likely its a Program Loading error. You may also have picked up a virus but I think that's probably less likely. As I start I suggest you Uninstall both FTM and Digger. Clean your Registry by using say Norton's Systemworks or some other Registry Cleaner. This get rid of all the left over and redundant links in the Registry and gets the Registry set up for a new clean installation. Next - isolate your Computer from the Internet then close your Antivirus software and your Firewall which I have not doubt you have as a responsible Lister and Internet surfer! Then Reinstall both FTM and Digger. As you install each Application - RESTART your PC BEFORE trying loading the next Application and certainly before running any of the Application(s) or entering data. Some Antivirus programs and Firewalls see some software (or parts thereof) as being too much like a virus so its blocked during installation which may result in the problem you have described. Naturally I give no guarantees it will work as its a bit hard to diagnose problems without actually sitting in front of the offending beastie - but its certainly worth a try. If it still does not work after trying the above then I would run a full deep sweep of your Hard Drive with a good up to date Antivirus software Program to check that you don't have a virus. If no Virus and still not working then I can only suggest you return the new computer to the retailer and get him to try loading the applications and if it still doesn't run then ask for a refund!!!!! The only other suggestion I can offer is an incompatibility between Generations and FTM but frankly I have not heard of this before and that does not explain why Digger doesn't run. Be interested in the outcome.

Could some kind person please look up the births and deaths of Patrick , Mary, Bridget , Michael Tierney with parents Bridget Ryan and Michael Tierney. They were all deceased on their mother Bridget's death certificate in 1885. They may have been born in Ireland. They lived around Warrenheip, Dunnstown area. If someone has the Buninyong Cemetery index could they please look up Michael Tierney as I cannot find him. It appears that he died before his wife Bridget, but he is not buried with her at the new cemetery in Ballarat, only the surviving son Austin is there. TIA Janis in hot South Hedland WA

If this means Healsville, could anyone please advise what cemetery would be used for the death of Jas Rea 1914 Ref 1950. Thanks Margaret

These instructions might not be totally current, but could help... Setting up Victorian Genealogy CDs on your hard drive This posting in no way relieves you of the need to observe the rules of copyright. The note covers CDs produced by Macbeth GS and the State of Victoria. For simplicity, the CD periods are identified as (with HD space requirement): Pioneer 1836-1888 known as VicP (564Mb) Federation 1889-1901 known as VicFed (149Mb) Edwardian 1902-1913 known as VicEdw (149Mb) Great War 1914-1920 known as VicGW (93Mb) Deaths 1921-1985 known as VicD (600Mb) The operating software, Digger, and its supporting files are about 3.5Mb. For a total of about 1.5Gb on your hard drive, you can have it all just a click away. There is also a "marine" CD, which includes an updated version of the Digger software to show copies of orignal entries. I've not found any use for it so haven't tested it out. Nor have I experimented with having two different periods open at the same time (I believe this is a later feature of Digger.) See also the note below about window sizes and locations. There seem to be 4 versions of Digger - I can identify the original (dated 26 Sep 1997) on VicFed, VicEdw, and VicGW, the second (dated 27 Aug 1998) on VicD, the third (dated 5 Jan 1999) on VicP and the most recent (dated 2 Oct 2002) on the marine CD. If you can, start with one of the last 2, for reasons I will cover later. If you do Help/About, you will be told there is only one version (3.0.5)! The main operating stuff lives in a folder named Digger. Data for each period lives in its own folder, as you will see. For demo, I will use terms that relate to the Edwardian disk (VicEdw), but simply substitute your own as appropriate. I am assuming you don't have Digger installed. However, if you do, go down to the second block of instructions, or (deep breath) delete the Digger folder and start over. Starting fresh... 1. Insert a CD. They don't have autorun, so "explore" the directory on the CD and run SETUP.EXE. Work through this as you would normally. Leave the CD in the drive. 2. On your C: drive, make a new folder - name it VicEdw. 3. From the CD, open the folder named DATA and drag the files in it to C:\VicEdw (9 files in this case) 4. Go to the Digger folder on your C: drive. Find the file named VICEDW.INI and open it in WordPad/NotePad 5. Make sure the last 3 lines look like this, then save the amended file: [Paths] DBPath=c:\vicedw MsgPath=c:\vicedw 6. Make a desktop icon to make it all work (there is probably one from the setup process). Right click on it and check its properties. The "target" should be C:\digger\digger.exe VICEDW 7. Remove the CD, and check that it works! Adding more... That was the easy bit. Maybe you want to add another. This time, I'll use the Federation disk as my example. You don't need to run SETUP this time. 1. On your Federation CD, open the folder named Digger and copy/drag ALL files that start with VICFED to C:\Digger (4 files in this case). 2. On your C: drive, make a new folder - name it VicFed 3. From the CD, open the folder named DATA and drag the contents to C:\VicFed (9 files in this case) 4. Go to the Digger folder on your C: drive. Find the file named VICFED.INI and open it in WordPad/NotePad 5. Make sure the last 3 lines look like this (because you haven't "installed" this CD, you will have to add all of this yourself): [Paths] DBPath=c:\vicfed MsgPath=c:\vicfed ...then save it. 6. Go to your desktop and copy the icon from item 6 above. Paste it back onto the desktop, and rename it. Alter the "target" to be C:\digger\digger.exe VICFED Repeat as often as required, changing details to suit. One last thing. I like to keep my Digger windows to one side of the screen as I work. As far as I can tell, earlier versions do not remember window sizes, so you have to resize each time you open a Digger file. A nuisance, but as mentioned above, install the latest you have as the original install. To make the Help files run, go to any CD, find the folder named Digger, then the one in that named WinSys. Open the folder, and drag the 4 files (they all start with HDK) to C:\WINDOWS. One day I'll get unlazy and write an automation script, but until then... Paul Blair

I know the frustration I am still on 98SE and can instal everything except the Pioneers CD. Of course most of what I want is on there. I know this is not much help to you but maybe I can do some lookups for you in the meantime.

I also put a ad to desperately seeking four weeks later it appeared, so if you use the service be patient. Unfortunately I have received not one response to my request. Just in case any members here may be able to answer my request: I am trying to locate the honour board for the Queenstown/St Andrews community, it used to reside in the local primary school and has completely disappeared, along with the names on it. What we still have is a board which acknowledges the fact that some community members served in the war.

Hi all Well after a long break (4 years) I am back trying to solve that biggest endless jigsaw puzzle we call genealogy - lol But you would not believe my luck - have upgraded to a new computer - but this one does not allow me to install generations where my 1500 + Edgell's have been living for the last few years - but because I have the bug back - I thought no problem I will just buy a new program (family tree maker) and import. Didn't let me do that either - so for the last 2 weeks, I have been manually inserting all of my reles back in - but now my NEW computer will not install all of my birth, death, marriages & inquest CD's - can anyone out there relate - has this happened to you?? I would be more than glad to do look ups' again for people if someone would help me install them Thanks for your time Kindest regards Darlene

Dear Listers, You might like to take into consideration (found in my experience) that sometimes when a death occured days after an accident, the doctor knowing why his patient died just recorded the death, and no inquest or magisterial inquiry was held. Also after fruitless search through inquests just in case it had been misfiled in a box I was told by the PRO that when court cases were held the inquest papers were often filed with the court files and never allocated a number. Regards, Mary of Melbourne

Ada we can all only give heaps of thanks to you and others for the fantastic work that you've done over the years. Can you give advice for "where to go" if people would like to help with indexing, checking files etc and have the necessary research skills and eye for detail. I'm still working in paid employment but would love to have something like this to keep me occupied and intellectually stimulated when I retire in a year or so.

It appears >the index has many missing entries. <snip> Hello Listers, The inquest index was a transcription from original departmental indexes which originals had all the ommissions and errors of any index. When I was working on the Supreme Court Equity Case Files, because I had to sort a dreadful mess of mixed up and broken files, I sought the Supreme Court indexes available and compared what I found in the files with the few surviving indexes which had a partial coverage of the cases. I found, from a so-called complete file for one part of the files, the so-called "Miscellaneous Files", many discrepancies.In comparing the first 4,000 files in that series: 340+ files not included in the original index 47 completely mis-transcribed surname titles (not even lateral thinking would have helped here) 30 indexed under the wrong file number (number ommissions and duplicate numbers) and other minor difficulties. These were found by a physical examination of each file, cross-referencing case numbers, surnames, dates, etc from my listing with the official listing. INQUESTS: The same has been found by the lass who did the original combined departmental inquest index which has been available on microfiche. Last year she was doing for the inquest files what I had been doing for ten years with the 12,000 Equity case files. I sat next to her on many occasions, and she was working through the mis-transcribed names, the files ommitted from the original departmental indexes, the "cause of death" ommitted from the original indexes, etc. I believe, when she has finished (a BIG job) the index will be re-issued and brought up to date. An enquiry to MacBeth's Genealogical publishers might be able to suggest a date for this, though Marge had been working on it once a week for a full day in 2004, I have not been at my usual place at the VPRO in 2005, and my own work has been "on hold". Hence I have lost touch with progress. regards, Ada Ackerly, Melbourne, Australia formerly Ackerly DocuSearch

Hi to you all on the List, Would just like to say that I am going to unsubscribe for a while as other things take over from family Researching. I am still looking for BULLOCK,NICHOLLS,OSEEN,HOLMES, all around this area and would really like to hear from any one with these names in their trees. Have a nice day and take care Alice in Qld,Aust

Ada I was not trying to be critical of those who volunteer their services to help us. I bet there have been a lot of records gone missing or overlooked or whatever mainly because of the way records were kept in the past, or literacy problems (hence the spelling thing). I for one am very grateful to anyone who takes on a project of whatever proportions to make life a bit easier. When I started to trace my family some 30 years ago we did not even have microfiche, no indexes just guess work on approx death dates and pay a fortune for a search for the certificate or trudging through newspapers and graveyards. So much work has been done since and I don't think many realise how easy we have it now. So if anyone does have a project check that no one has done it or started it then go for it. There are many grateful long distant genealogists.

There must have been many fatalities with buggys, gigs, and horse riding in those days. Of my great grandparents the pioneer couple who arrived in NZ in 1840; 10 children who were born in NZ 1840 - 1860, there were 3 who died from either being thrown from a buggy, cart, or horse. Imagine today if you lost 3 out of 10 in motor accidents?? Shirley

Hello Folks Have just received a copy of a marriage certificate that states the bride was a Ward of the State. It also includes the names of her parents. (Not sure whether these are her biological or Foster parents) Can anyone advise where I could search to find out more about Wards of the State? The marriage was 1909, her birth approx. 1887. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Joan
