Hallo Bea Thank you very much for your email. I'm very patient and would be most grateful if you can have a look for me. Somebody did send me an email off-line about the NAAIRS site, but to be honest I'm not a reseacher as such and do not know what to do with the information on NAAIRS. I spent a lot of time searching for Campbells and received over 500 links, however I found the information meaningless in that I don't know how to take it further from there. Maybe I'm missing something very obvious??

Hi Conrad, Once you have seen a person/reference that interest you and is or could be a person you are looking for, you need to copy all the details eg KAB. MOOC and all numbers and dates etc on that reference, so that you can then order copies, or get a person/researcher to get those copies for you. The letters and numbers are very important in order to get copies of that exact document. and indicates where a particular document is kept. Once you have the document usually there is often a whole lot more information on it, other names, dates of births, deaths, where they stayed etc. I amsure that you will have a lot of luck as there are many refernces to some of the people that you are looking for also on Ancestry24, also copy down all the refernce numbers, dates, and then order them/ ask researcher to get them - who will email copies to you.
