Dear Peter Ross and all, I saw in another listserv a query from someone who asked, "Does someone have the QLD records who wouldn't mind doing a look-up?" The person had been unable to find anything in the Birth/Marriage/Death registers. Can anyone tell me what the QLD records are? And does anyone on this listserv have those records and would someone be willing to check them for the Mr. Bonat for whom I am searching? If so, please let me know and I will summarize the information we know about him. Thank you very much!
