Fellow researchers Due to the tireless and magnificent efforts of the contributors a great Christmas present has been created with 110,003 index records from 13,438 memorials of deeds available for free search and downloading of abstracts. The main search page of the project is at: http://members.pcug.org.au/~nickred/deeds/search_index.html To see the data for one memorial once you know who the indexer is use: http://members.pcug.org.au/~nickred/deeds/memorial_search2.htm An example of the gems in the Registry of Deeds in shown here: http://members.pcug.org.au/~nickred/deeds/memorial_extract.cgi?my_memorial=278991&my_indexer=nickred It documents a marriage 52 years earlier than the deed together with the spouses of the bride's sisters.
