A friend of mine was recently in NSW researching in vain for her mother's missing marriage and birth. Whilst doing this at a historical/family society, a lady opened a book which was a very thick book and in it was supposedly listed all the names of people in Australia at some point in time. Does anyone know what this friend may have seen? Do most societies have this type of book. Something like a Directory with everyone in it. regards Denise ###################################### Denise Marriott McMahon - ex Melbourne 21 years Brisbane Queensland - Searching - CONWAY - County Clare and N.E.
