Hello All, I've received this email from Nick Redden which may be of some interest. The Registry of Deeds is an incredibly valuable source of genealogical information covering the period from fifty years before its inception 300 years ago to the late 1900s. The Registry of Deeds Index Project proposes to make these records more accessible through a volunteer project to compile a complete name index of the memorial volumes. Through the sterling efforts of a small band of contributors the project now has more than 25,000 index records in its data base. You can browse the index entries at the link below: Records in family name order http://members.pcug.org.au/~nickred/deeds/search_index.html Nick's other site has Irish newspaper abstracts. You can also see it at http://members.iinet.net.au/~nickred/newspaper/ Regards, Peter Mayberry Tuggeranong ACT Australia Irish Convicts to NSW 1791-1835 http://members.pcug.org.au/~ppmay/
