While Australia is really not part of our mailing list, many of our ancestor's siblings and cousins emigrated to Australia and they have just released a massive amout of birth, death and marriage records that can be searched online. Marriages go to 1854, deaths to 1974 and births to 1905. This is an index and if you find a record that is for your family, you can order the certificate. These are for New South Wales (NSW) only. http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/familyHistory/searchHistoricalRecords.htm -- Pat Connors, currently visiting Albany NY
