Queensland Historical Indexes- error message

[bikermickau]

  Lmao...just spotted this error on the Death Index search page

Deaths
Enter a last name and either a date of birth or a date of birth range. You can search for births from 1829 and 1983.

Also I checked marriages and the 2 marriages for Emma Farmi (1906 and 1909) are not still in the index. I do have these marriage certificates.

I don't think 1983 for the deaths is an error as that would be 30 yrs ago and comes under historical.
This would mean I could order an image for 1972 and 1975 if I had the funds for it.

It also means we can search for deaths that we have had trouble finding as well.

Cheers

Last time I checked, Mick, I think all certificates, irrespective of age, were just under $40.  $28 and $20 does represent a fair discount, but once the images are all digitized, logically they shouldn't remain so expensive (says she hopefully).  I'll check the costs in NSW both from the NSW BDM and via "agents" to see how it compares.

I imagine there are huge numbers to be prepared for electronic delivery so we shouldn't be too impatient.  Each step forward is a good one I think.

Come to think of it, Victoria has had downloaded images for quite a while.  None of my folk were ever there so I never checked costs.  I wonder how THEY compare?

All interesting exercises but it has to be good in the long run.

Victoria is also $20.00A for a image as well

I'll bold where the mistakes are, (should be Death not Birth)

I saw that error on the Qld BDM webpage last night and sent them an email suggesting they edit their page.  As it's the weekend, I don't expect a reply until at least Tuesday.
Or maybe they will just fix it on the quiet.

Sorry about that Mick. Just went back and had another look and see what you mean. I wonder if they will pick up on it or not.
