This is a group for those in Australia who are researching their families no matter where they originate. New arrivals with no Aussie roots will benefit from membership.

When you join the group please make an introductory comment that tells us a little about yourself.

If you are able to offer help to others with lookups, tips, cemetery photos etc. please post a message in the Offers of Help by SKAS discussion forum.

If you need assistance please post check Offers of Help by SKAS discussion forum for relevant assistance and then post your request in the IF YOU WANT HELP/LOOK UPS POST IT HERE discussion forum.

Not sure how many use the online electoral rolls on Ancestry but have just notice they now go to 1954

Hi Geniaus,

I definitely share interests with you and would love to participate in the Google Wave experiment. However, I am still awaiting my invite. Would you be able to send through an invite so we can experiment?

Kind regards,
Andrew

Are there any Australian genealogists out there with a Google Wave account who would like to communicate using this new tool?

I have an account and want to play but the young man who gave me my invitation and I don't share too many interests (apart from an interest in technology). I am bibliaugrapher@googlewave.com. Please let me know if you are able to ride a wave with me.

Hello All
I haven't done much research for several years but took the opportunity this week to visit the NSW State Record Archives at Kingswood. I only went for one piece of information which should have taken me only 1 hour but as with all research this one piece of information led on to others and four hours later I left the State Archives with so much more than just one piece of information. The staff were fantastic and would advise anyone who can get to the repository themselves it is worth the experience. I could have purchased the document from their web site but doing the research in person saved me $23AUD. and no postage. I did have to pay for my travel from Central West NSW but I was headed to Sydney for other reasons and stopping at Kingswood was a bonus.

My husband has the Gee line in his family. They come from Cambridgeshire and married into the Golding family, migrated to South Australia. We don't have any 'recent' Gees, but do have some of the 'oldies' from about 1774 - 1871. I haven't got round to checking if any of the 'rellies' came out under the Gee name, but have the South Australian B.M.D. records in the Family History Centre, so I'll have a look Friday when I'm in on duty. If you think they could be of interest, let me know. Denise

And will add yet again that I am overwhelmed at the magic response that I have received from Carmel and as stated previous Anja, I have received feed back and referals that I never knew existed and as you say Geniaus this SKAS is becoming a fabulous resource for all to tap into, the world of information is there as there is some one that is there to help you with in this community based folder, so come on don't be afraid to ask you will be surprised in what you get back?

Thank you
Wayne

I am overwhelmed by the generosity of members of this list as they help each other find ancestors and long lost cousins - Thanks you to all SKAS (Some Kind Aussie Souls) for making this list a useful resource.
