Australia / Re: Sth Aust BDM Digger/Macbeth Discs - how to install

Thanks to all for the replies.

I will follow your advice Essie and read with interest the link provided by cupoflife.
We'll be away until early/mid August so I may not have much time for playing around just now - something to tackle with renewed interest on my return. ;)

Australia / Sth Aust BDM Digger/Macbeth Discs - how to install
« on: Tuesday 26 July 16 11:51 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I have all the Sth Aust Macbeth/Digger discs. Rather than insert each different disc every time I want to get some information, I'd like to install the data from the discs so that its permanently on my laptop. I've contacted Macbeth directly, who seem reluctant to give out any information.  I know libraries have the data on their computers, so it can be done. Perhaps Macbeth don't like sole users doing this? Hoping there is someone who can give me some simple instructions as to how to go about this.

I am running a laptop with 32 bit and Windows 7.

Thanks, Chris

The death place for Rupert Free Lawrie is given as Fowlers Bay. Again in the far west of SA, about 30 km from Nundroo. The father is listed as Michael Free Lawrie but no mother's name given.

There is this marriage:

LAWRIE, William Michael to RICHARDS, Bertha Florence on 28th March, 1923 at the Lutheran Manse, Koonibba.  William was a widow aged 49 and Bertha was 20. Koonibba and Nundroo are in the Far West of SA about an hour and half apart, so although the name is a bit different the area matches up.
