Hi David, You can find some of the Birth Death and Marriage details for some of the Austalian States online, ( the links are below and some have a small charge to search) for the other states if you give the details of the person you are searching for, there are a number of fantastic people on this and Australian lists who would be only too happy to search the BDM Indexes for you. There is also the State Archives for each State that are searchable online and the National Archives too. (Links Below) These have information on Shipping/Immigration records, War records (National Archives) and various other Name searches. I hope some of this helps Good Luck in your search :) Nicole Queensland BDM http://www.justice.qld.gov.au/16.htm New South Wales BDM http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/familyHistory/search.htm Victoria BDM https://online.justice.vic.gov.au/CA256C7100199CBE/page/Index+Search-Histori cal+Index+Information?OpenDocument&1=13-Index+Search~&2=0-Historical+Index+I nformation~&3=~ Western Australia BDM http://www.justice.wa.gov.au/_apps/pioneersindex/default.aspx Tasmanian Archives Family Search http://portal.archives.tas.gov.au/menu.aspx?search=8 National Archives of Australia http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/recordsearch/index.aspx Public Record Office of Victoria http://www.prov.vic.gov.au/ State Records NSW http://www.records.nsw.gov.au/ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Collins Sent: Monday, 2 March 2009 6:22 AM To: Rootsweb IRL-Cork Subject: Cork emigrant to Australia I recently came across information about a relative who may have emigrated to Australia ca 1890. The only information available includes his name, date of birth, & parents' names. No one in his family ever heard from him after his emigration. I would appreciate any advice about where to begin a search with so little information.
