Victoria now has a 100 year rule on births, so you can not get a birth certificate for a person born after 1908, unless it is your own of course, deaths are available before 1998, now I'm not sure about marriages. I know the Edwardian and the Great War indexes were removed from sale because of the births. It is all because most Australian states are party to privacy legislation, I think identity fraud also comes into it somewhere, but I'm not sure where. It has nothing to do with family historians. As for the release of CDs, I know the War Dead has just been released and hopefully the Early Church Records and the Cemetery Data perhaps in the next couple of years. Dianne Hughes
