Hello Listers, Would someone be able to tell me how is it that one transcription service charges GST to overseas customers and the other one doesn't ? I am quite used to paying GST here in Canada but it is very frustrating to have different rules depending on where one shops. Is there a govt, brochure which outlines the regulations ,please? Robin . Ottawa.

Can anyone tell what I may find in the SA State Records Ancestors in Archives? Robyn

Hi Denise I can't find your Ann Green on the AVRI or Tas. Pioneer Index. Did find her marriage to Wm. Pinner on 13/5/1845, Launceston, Ref. 2205. If you have any other info on Ann Green, would be happy to do a look-up for you. Pam Bell, Melbourne

This Anne eventually married William Pinner in Longford 1845 Dear Denise, I've looked in my book of Tasmanian baptisms up to 1840 and there's no listing for your Ann GREEN. However, from "Notorious Strumpets and Dangerous Girls" #643 on p. 521, I reckon the mother is the following convict: Ann ANDERSON convicted at Clare (no date shown); transported for 7 years for larcency. - Native Place: Waterford, Ireland - Trade: Country servant - Literacy: Cannot write - Age: 25 years in 1821 - Complexion: Dark - Hair: Brown - Eyes: Hazel - Colonial Experiences: 1812-25: Arrived in Van Dieman's Land from Sydney; - 11 Dec 1825, married to Thomas GREEN at Launceston - 24 Dec 1828: Free by Servitude, Drunk and disorderly: fined 5 shillings.

Co. = County For purposes of controlling land titles the government divided the colony (true of all of them I think) into counties and parishes - neither of which are a lot of help to us, because we rarely come across them (except in areas where the term has been used for other administrative purposes: e.g. County of Cumberland meaning the greater Sydney area). So you need a map showing the counties - you should be able to get one from the Lands Department (whatever it's called these days) or possibly from http://www.lpi.nsw.gov.au/ (what used to be the Land Titles Office). I found a reference to a Parish of Dampier in County White - which may be the same thing - in the Parish Map Preservation Project (at http://www.lpi.nsw.gov.au/maps/pmap/ HTH -- Michael Saclier Historical & Genealogical Research Services Phone: +61 2 6281 4117 Fax: +61 2 6281 4118 E-mail: saclierm@spirit.com.au Mail: PO Box 431, Curtin ACT 2605

Hello All; I am new to the list, so I'm posting my interests. I am interested in the family of Bessie HAY who married YATES in Scotland, around 1915 - 1925. They had a son Jimmy, and perhaps another, named Arthur. They moved to Australia in the early 1940s. Has anyone come across this family? -- Ian Russell Ottawa, Canada

Someone was sleuthing for the source of this virus. I think it may have been this list, could be wrong. I received the virus on Monday in a group of 3 messages. 1 = the Haha thingy 2 = a person to person message (mailing her today to check) abd 3 - mail returned, address not recogizes stuff. Now it has been suggested that the virus lurks in Daemon mailer ? correct name, and I have a feeling the Undeliverable message is run by them. Just advising. No, I didn't open it. Left even the email unopened, sandwiched it between a slab of read mails no longer required and hit the delete button. Did this as I was ready to log off. The delete folder os emptied eash time I log off, so I think all is cool. Oh - first I emptied my address book. Only keep a couple of 'group' addresses there, so no major drama to replenish it. Merry Christmas everyone, I hope it stays virus free in every way. cheers, Nandina
