Hello all, I am posting this call for help to a number of lists, so apologies if you get it more than once. I am now publishing a first edition of my genealogical research aid 'Australian Family Histories : a Bibliography and Index'. It will contain bibliographic details of 3,400+ family histories published in and relevant to Australia, cross-referenced by 59,000+ family name occurrences - it should be delivered from the printers by 14 May. I am already working to upgrade my data for a possible second future edition. Therefor, I am trying to contact, by email, the author/s of any published Australian family history/ies (those that I have not already been in touch with, of course) to ask if they could supply to me a list of the family surnames covered in each of these books - if I get them by email I can transfer them directly into my database without having to re-key them, thus saving time and preventing typing errors. If you have any questions about/input for 'Australian Family Histories' then please contact me at [email protected] Regards Ralph Reid Sydney
