    1. [AUS-VIC-NorWest] Nathalia or Barwo?
    2. Donald Stanley
    3. Hi everybody I was just wondering if someone could clear up something up for me. According to an article I read about the history of Nathalia, it used to be called Barwo, up until 1885 (or thereabouts) until it's name was officially changed to Nathalia. We have all kinds of ORR family certificates, CD indexes etc that seem to interchange these names at the drop of a hat, and most of them well after this so-called name change date. So what's the real truth behind all this, and do other researchers encounter the same problem? We thought we actually had two different towns, and it still actually looks like that. Any help with this mystery would be appreciated. Kind regards Donald Stanley
