I do apologise for cross postings, but thought I would ask as many people as possible. Hi all, I have part of a newspaper article from the Wedderburn Examiner 31st March 1950. It is with regards to the discovery of the body of Wallace Maxwell ROSS on a station at Jerilderie. Does anybody have any more info re this please?? I would like to find out the station name, whether his wife and family were with him or remained in Wedderburn, etc etc etc . I have tried without any luck to find a newspaper in Jerilderie. Pest aren't I. Thanks in anticipation. Sandra One by One Only the Good Die Young.

Hello Everyone, I'll keep this brief. I have started a new mailing list for Webmasters of Family History Societies. Even though it says Aus, it is for NZ as well. I suppose I should have thought more about the name before I started it, but hey, it's done now. So all you Webmasters, come along. We can help each other update our links, and fix problems.

Hi Amanda Do you mean the Sandgate near Newcastle. Or the Sandgate a suburb of Brisbane. I grew up in Sandgate, Brisbane, and the cemetery which goes back many years is known as the Bald Hills Cemetery. My grandparents are buried there. I have been meaning to contact someone about it. I think it is controlled by the Pine Rivers Shire Council. This cemetery was also known as the Sandgate cemetery. I think it might now be closed to new burials. My grandmother was buried there in 1952. Also the only Woodend I know is a suburb of Ipswich, about 25 km west of Brisbane. Is this the one?

John, It makes me wonder how long you have been on the list? My I bring your attention to the statement on the web page? "A List where one may meet other genealogists and historians and research under an umbrella of friendship and good will. Presenting a forum for people alike to meet and exchange ideas in the freedom and spirit of good old Australian hospitality." I don't think you are showing any understanding or friendship? Nor do I remember asking you for any help as to what could or could not be posted on the list! Ray.

Dear List, I have a huge favour to ask someone who has access to a national Australian newspaper archive. My mother's great aunt emigrated to Australia. She and her husband had at least three children but I do not know whether they were born in England or Australia. One of the girls, whose name was Irene, married and had a child called Brenda. In March 1930, Irene's husband murdered her and the little girl, Brenda who was six years old. I am hoping this would have been reported in a newspaper somewhere. I am afraid I have no surnames or place names, this is why it is such a huge favour to ask. I have a photograph of the three of them. On the back it refers to Irene as Renie and says it was taken 10 weeks before their death. The photo is dated January 13th 1930 so I should think they died in March or April of that year. If anyone can help with this I would be so grateful. I am in England and have no idea where to begin searching. I could send a scan of the photo and the writing on the back if it will help. Thank you for reading this, Jane

I am so very grateful to you for finding and sending the information >about them to me. >Who holds these records for assisted immigrants? and is it possible to get >details on other members of my family? Hello Maree, The records are held by the Victorian Public Record Office The unassisted immigrants were indexed many years ago by Marjorie Morgan, placed on cards and given to the VPRO. Unfortunately, over the years, researchers who were too lazy to write down the information, stole the card with their surname (and containing the names of others on other ships possibly not related to them) and did not return them. As the work was done on donated cards, information was both on the front and the back. In the 1980s it was decided that these cards should be filmed and placed on microfiche for research rooms. So the surviving cards were filmed (fronts only) and microfiched. They were very hard to read in the purple print then used. Late 1980s it was decided to produce a typed index from the cards, film all the passenger lists and produce a set "Assisted Immigrants", index & shipping lists The cards were sent to an outside service and the surviving cards were transcribed. The index was produced and, before issue it was found that one drawer of cards had not been included. The index was discarded, the missing drawer of cards included, and published. It included the original (surviving) shipping lists, some nominal lists and some showing disposal of passengers with names of employers. At the time the set was very expensive and I believe were only supplied on pre-order. As you can see, the index is flawed: Cards of some surnames, having been stolen, could not be transcribed The outsourced secretarial transcribers only typed from the fronts of the cards, ommitting the names on the backs of the cards Being a re-transcription, there is an opportunity for more errors. So.... active & professional researchers know the flaws in this index, and there is a group of experienced people re-indexing from the original records to catch all those missing from the previously published index, and it will be re-issued at some future date. It takes a long time, with checking, to produce such an index. Years of work by the team. This means, of course, that non-appearance in the index does not mean there is no record. It means that one cannot guarantee to find the person sought, if they were listed on the back of a card or were listed along with others of the same surname, on a card a researcher decided was their property, and made it unavailable to others. So, no certainty, but I could check the index for the names you seek. regards, Ada Ackerly, Melbourne, Australia formerly Ackerly DocuSearch
