Thanks Robynne. I sent this at about 9pm our time. I am looking for WOOR which I know is short for Wooragee, but it is also short for other places. Makes it a tad difficult when researching names which crop up all over the place - hard to eliminate possibilities in the families. So whilst thinking about this I realised my bookmarked online site has only a handful of names and of no use. Any site you can suggest would be great. I have other places from time to time that I need to look up. How does one "Unstick" a sticky keyboard? regards - thanks Denise ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robynne" <whitehse@bigpond.net.au> To: <AUS-VIC-NE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, February 22, 2002 7:28 AM Subject: Re: [AVNE] BDM's abbreviations for north east > Hi Denise, > > boy you were up early/late! lol Send me a list of the abbreviations and I can check them against the Gazette names for you. > > There is a site somewhere online that gives place names, I'll search for it after work tonight > > Cheers, Robynne > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Denise McMahon > To: AUS-VIC-NE-L@rootsweb.com > Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2002 8:57 PM > Subject: [AVNE] BDM's abbreviations for north east > > > I am looking for a URL which will give me the abbreviations used on the indexes for towns in the north east.
