Member Information

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.

If you are seeking information on a particular surname have a look for a group devoted to that surname.... if there is not one consider setting up a group....it's not an arduous task. Try using the Site Search on the Top Right Hand side of the page to find references to your surnames.

Please create and use the discussion forums to communicate with other members. There are only two discussions displayed - please use View All to browse through the whole list and find those of interest to you.

Comment by John Patten on June 3, 2011 at 6:50am: Hopefully it means downloadable images per Victoria.

Comment by Maree White on June 3, 2011 at 5:44am: Let's hope they don't take the whole thing offline whilst preparting for the "upgrade"

Good Afternoon
I can now confirm that the Registry is currently creating a new database with improved searching capabilities. The new system will be introduced within the next 6 to 12 months.

Comment by Co Ordinator on May 25, 2011 at 7:34am: Now that does sound positive, there must have been quite a few that complained of such doings

Crashing of their server seems a pretty weak excuse really coming from a site such as that.

I'm sure they would be well equipped to say the least.

But it Could be true on the other hand as the LDS site spat the dummy a few days ago, but that was probably because the site has had a rather big upgrade and seemed quite probable that something was not put in place right.

Comment by Rosemary Kopittke on May 25, 2011 at 12:59am: The NSW / ACT Association have just been told that their email regarding the removal of the wildcard search option for the NSW BDM online has been passed on for further consideration regarding the re-instatement of the wildcard or using other alternate ways to prevent the server overloading and crashing.

Comment by Maree White on May 22, 2011 at 3:01am: The value of this "comment wall" is immense. It was only because we were talking Irish records the other day that I thought I would check to see what records were new. Hence my find and hopefully some good news for you too.
