Dear List Since I sent out information on "Relations Index to Migrants" where I found many family members so far unknown I have had so many people asking for more info. I'm sure this stuff is common Knowledge to those who have been researching for many years but it has been a revaluation as to how much info is on fisch and film at my local libraries genealogy section, Im probably fortunate to Iive in a major populated area (Campbelltown NSW Australia) which was one of the first settlement towns. The index gives two columns name of person in Australia & name of migrant, relationship to sponsor, ship & Date of arrival, also found Australian census records and shipping info on film with info on all ships arrival dates and persons on board with parents names living or dead, state of health, religion etc. Don't think any of this is On-Line so good look at your library.

I see that some Australian Cherry's are searching for their Cherry branches in OZ. I have found a great legal site that has pre-1900 cases, and mention the judges, lawyers defendants etc. If you go to www.lexislegal.com then on that page go to the Law tab and scroll down to the Pre 1900 cases. Click there and use the search features to check out family names and find actual cases. It is great to see the language of the time and also you may find information about your family members on both sides of the law. You might mention it to some of your other Australian researchers.
