Thanks Dawn M,

The cause of death information was a surprise on the certificate. That was one of the reasons I got it, but I was hoping to get some family information from it. I live in OZ too, so I thought from seeing the ones they have here, that perhaps I might find if there were any other children then the 2 I already have, and perhaps some parental info. But nothing other than cause of death, so I thought I'd find out what I could about it. And everyone is so helpful on Rootschat, for taking the time to help out. It's really appreciated.
This line is on my Dad's, Maternal side. My parents split when I was very young,and I haven't had  much contact with that side of the family, so I have been finding all this out myself, I don't think there is anyone alive and able to remember any stories about the family, so I'm just trying to figure it all out.

Thanks for the reply everyone. Sometimes you just wish you could get some people and give them a good shake and tell them to check their sources before posting/publishing anything! 

Yes Deb, I agree with you!

Would be great if all the family History sites wouldn't "join" family trees or upload info unless there is a citation connected to the info on it! Then just have a different spot to put "possibilities". 

Hi,

I just received my GG Grandmother's death certificate and it says she died of "Abortion at the 5th month, haemorrhage, exhaustion,". And it has "certified" under all that as well.  So I was wondering if back then a miscarriage was classed as an abortion?

Thanks,
Terri.

Hi,

My Great, Great Aunt is Minnie Lee, married to Alfred Lee, who is one of the founders of The Royal Australian Historical Society. I have only recently found heaps of information on them and their family at the Mitchell Library. They are on my Mother's side, and for many years I have been researching my Father's side, so I didn't even know it was there! But now I do, I need to spend some time at the Mitchell library!
