As I had previously installed AVRI on my XP PC, I firstly used the technique outlined by Julie/Paul. This works superbly if you are prepared to allocate 2GB of your HDD. I will be retaining this method. I also tried the technique of creating a DVD and installing from that under Windows 7. This also worked very well.. For my purposes I installed to a partition other than Drive 'C'. Searching the DVD is a bit slower than placing the AVR*.NFO files on your HDD but I was happy with the speed. The main drawback is having to load the DVD each time you want to search. Creating the DVD avoids having to swap CDs. Whether you want to search from the DVD or put the files on your HDD will depend on your preferences. Regards,

Well they did not make the AVRI or sell it (it was not allowed to be sold to or in Australia). They are suggesing the Digger products are superior, I agree.

Is there any record still in existence (apart from the local newspaper) concerning the placement of Irish orphans and others who were sent to Maitland as servants from Hyde Barracks in 1850

Can SKS with access to the Western Australia newspapers for Perth and Kalgoorlie please check for a death, and or funeral, notice for Dossie (Dot, Dorothy) Gundry who passed away yesterday in Kalgoorlie. I am in Victoria and do not have access to current WA papers. thanks in advance, Cheryl

He was born in County Down, Ireland, in 1851 & I suspect he immigrated to Australia in 1887. I understand he was a seaman. He and Mary had a daughter, Charlotte (Catherine) who was born in 1870 in Manchester. She married Frederick Denecker in Sydney in 1896 & they had 4 daughters. John died in Melbourne in 1932 & Catherine died in Perth (Western Australia) in 1934. Kevin Lehane

Hi Everyone I am trying to find a photo of my 3rd great grandfather James Walton who was a convict who came to NSW Australia on the convict ship Dunvegan Castle in 1830. Also looking for a photo of his wife Johanna McCanna who married James on the 23/8/1847 at Our Lady of Loretto Church Upper McDonald River NSW Australia. Any help would be appreciated. Grahame James

I certainly intend to try them in the near future. Incudentally, my current method with AVRI is to use a virtual drive and four image files which I load as appropriate. The method described below should be even simpler. Thanks to D.U. Ref: The "LDS Australian Vital Records 1788-1905" 4CD set I think that this is the first time I have actually used to data from this disk set by the LDS, and am passing this info along in case it is useful to others. It is possible to burn the contents of the 4 CD-Roms to one DVD, this eliminating the need to change dusks, (either physical disks, or mounted images). The Basic method I used was to just copy all the contents of ALL the 4 CDs to a common direcrory with all the files and dirs as they were, and just burn the contents to a DVD using ypur favourite burning software. I did give the disk LABEL the name of "AVR_1788" wich may or may not be required, but does make sense. My dsk is not self loading, but is otherwise ok, no need to swap disks! Works like a charm! ...Choice!! D.U. A DOS based directory listing shows a view of the files on the constructed DVD.....
