Thanks Lorrie for the update. Unfortunately it's difficult to 'have fun' as Ancestry have introduced a problem with the search function for this database. Using All for the State is OK but if I select a State where the All search shows results for that State then nothing is returned. Let's hope it's fixed. While the're at it they could reclassify database named; "Maryborough, Queensland Australia Immigrants from the British Isles & Germany 1861-91" from its current "Court, Land, Wills & Financial" Category to their "Immigration & Emigration" Category but I won't be holding my breath. -- Bob

With the collective knowledge of this list, I was hoping to find some information about the Soldiers Settlement Frenchs Forest in the North of Sydney. I have records of my great grandparents residing there in the late 1940's but can't seem to find much in the way of information about the settlement. Any info will be gratefully received as usual. Thank you. Best Wishes Sharon

>From The Canberra Times, 4 July 1928 -- BEAM SNAPS Three Workmen Fall TWO KILLED -- SYDNEY, Tuesday When a beam, supporting a scaffolding plant at the Australian Gaslight Company's new gasometers at Alexandria, snapped this morning, three men were hurled 22ft. to the concrete floor below. Edward Garden, 51, boilermaker, was killed outright, and William Clark, 31, boilermaker, died in hospital. William Ahern, boilermaker, sustained a fractured skull and ribs, and injuries to the spine. His condition is very serious. The men bad been working at the job for about two years and were to have finished within a fortnight. One man, who saw the scaffold give way, said it all happened so suddenly that there was no time to give any warning. The beam, just seemed to snap in halves and the men appeared to go with It. ------------------------------------------------ Historic Australian Newspapers, 1803 to 1954 http://ndpbeta.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/home Aherns in Australian Records http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~aherns/ahcrim.htm ------------------------------------------------

HI Cheryl, Just for your reference, :o) the"State Library" in every state keeps the Daily Newspapers of every Capital City. Also sometimes there is certain News Agencies (generally in the city) that keep interstate newspapers., But of course the News Agents wouldn't keep the back issues like the State Libraries :o) Cheers Jewelly West Australia. Shift your problems to challenges.  When you have problems, you worry about them.  When you have challenges - you are working, applying, and attacking your plan to get results.

Get Linux, please, Tom. Helen, there are relatively few recent posts there - about 5 in the last week, including spammers. Have you used upper-case names, or something? At the moment, I am viewing GENANZ via Usenet, and Telstra's server is down (again!) Because it is so unreliable, I can fetch from overseas as well.

If you are not aware, Ancestry yesterday released a huge and increased batch of Australian Electoral Rolls right up to 1954 for all States (still except for Sth Australia though). Have fun! Lorrie
