Thanks again. >Regards Wendy >Australia Wendy, yes I agree it is difficult from Australia, but if you are close to (and a member of) a genealogical/family history society most generally have a service. For instance the Australian Institute of Genealogical Studies in Blackburn Melbourne have forms you can fill out and hand over your Aussie dollars. They will then do all the work for you and the papers will then land in your letter box in a few weeks. Victorian Genealogical Society the same, and I would think much the same in other states.
