I'm not in Australia, so I can't become an indexer. If I were in Australia I probably could have gone to the library and read the obituary on microfilm. I'll look into a way of donating. Perce

It will be awhile before I upgrade. What did people not like about FTM 2009? I used FTM2008 for a while and got the half-price upgrade to FTM 2010 (I'm in the US; others might not have been offered that deal). So far I haven't found anything I don't like -- except that it doesn't work like a "real database program" and allow things like (with the proper syntax, of course): Show me all the male descendants of John Smith [the one in my tree who lived from 1711 to 1773] who were born in London between 1850 and 1870 and were living in the USA in 1900.

Thank you very much -- and also for the image file you emailed me. I am sorry that I did not understand that the Ryerson Index is a volunteer-based operation; I am so used to blocking out the advertising on the right of the Google results screen and on one or both edges of other Web pages that I had overlooked the links on the left of the Ryerson Index page. The obituary-indexing systems here in the USA where I am now living all seem to be commercial, and my original assumption was that the text of the obituaries would be on line somewhere so that I could simply copy and paste. In addition, when I had Googled the name I found in another Ryerson Index obituary, I had found the full text on a message board; I was assuming that the text of other obituaries would be on line too if only I knew how to find it. I don't know whether you have ever looked at any US obituaries, but they seem to be far more comprehensive than those in the Australian papers. Some are mini-biographies, with birth details (when, where, parents' names, including mother's maiden name), marriage details (when, where, to whom), church membership, military service, employment history, details of deceased and surviving family members, etc. Even the briefer ones are a few column-inches in length. Some are published more than once in the same paper. "Perce"

BENNETT, John Oscar - John passed away peacefully on August 31st 2003 at War Veterans Nursing home, Narrabeen. Dearly loved husband of Marcia, dear brother to Elaine and Marle, father and father-in-law of Paul, Mark and Lesley, Keren and Peter and loved grandfather of their children. Aged 76 years. A Memorial Service will be held on Wednesday (Sept 3 , 2003 ) at St Columba Pres. Church, corner Warringah Rd and Sharkey Street, Forestville commencing at 11 am Privately interred at Frenchs Forest Lawn Cemetery.

Heinrich F.. (vergl.den Stammbaum der Familie) hatte Theologie in Dorpat studiert, ging dann als Vikar nach St Marien Magdalenen und heiratete Meta Mickwitz, die Tochter des Pastors von St MM. Ein Klick & Ihr bekommt ein Satellitenbild von der heutigen Altstadt Tartus/Dorpats und der Uni So sah Dorpat im 19.Jhdt aus Ob Heinrich F. auch mal im Karzer der Uni gesessen hatte ?

I'm sorry, Monica. I thought someone would simply post the text of the obituary here.

The Ryerson Index points to an obituary in the SMH of September 2, 2003 for John Oscar BENNETT, who died on 31 August, 2003, aged 76, at the War Veterans Nursing Home, Narrabeen. I cannot find the obituary itself on line. Can anybody help, please? "Perce"

Hi Listers I note on State Records that they do not hold records of the inmates of the Hyde Park Asylum. Does that mean that there aren't any available or are they available at Kingswood. Sorry for not quite understanding the infoormation on Archives In Brief 86 - Infirm and destitute asylums - Inmate records Looking for records for an inmate who died there in 1880. Cheers Joanne
