Hi, I have 5 NSW birth certificates of my ancestors. These all show a column for Witness with 3 lines numbered 1, 2, 3. All certificates have the second line filled in with Mrs Payne, or whoever. One family of 4 children it is the same person. What is the role of Witness? Am I right in assuming it was the midwife who attended the birth? Or a friend or neighbour? Your comments appreciated. Kind regards, Mary [email protected]

Is there anyone who could tell me how to identify where a photo may have been taken - I think it was taken in the early 1900's and on the photo is a label - "A.Bowman - plating - Artist". How do I find where this photographer may have been based - Any help would be greatly appreciated Kate ANZAC RESEARCH - http://www.diggerz.org/users/anzacs

Hi all, As many of the irish famine orphans settled in the Southern Highlands Regions, I thought the list may interested in a radio program being aired this Sunday. Brief overview from Siobhan McHugh below. Cheers, Robynne From: Siobhan McHugh <[email protected]> Hello all, just to let you know my documentary on the Famine Orphan Girls goes to air this Sunday 30 Sept on ABC Radio National ( AM band 576) at 2pm (Hindsight), repeated Thursday 5 October 1pm. The program starts with an interesting interview with Prof Cormac OGrada of Univerity College Dublin, in which he canvasses recent debates around reinterpretations of the Famine, and the vexed question of whether it is possible to have a collective memory of such a traumatic and divisive event. Hope you enjoy it and thanks to all those who participated. Please excuse universal email but time has got away. All the best Siobhan McHugh
