HOPELESS!! Obviously the person who designed the engine never flew the plane?

Well you see err they dont realise the plane is meant to fly with paying customers on board and then to land and then to again fly with more paying customers..... 
Apparently you cannot currently spend your own money and buy certified copy of your own NSW birth cert unless you already know their ref no..... As per rellie needing current cert for passport application ...

hi

 So this may effect tourism, state revenue, marriages, probate, pensions, divorces or anything else that requires ID. 
Also Family history for medical reasons, do the powers that be understand that researching your family history is saving lives ie in the case of my 2 daughters.

I'm using the old search page and is that to be removed?

...I phoned my rellie and YES ... he had already asked via the Old Boys Network and it was to be removed after a month or so BUT there is so much off the record chatter so they are asking for it to be restored.  This is all part of the inter state agreement for getting "same" across all the eight databases .... So as  districts are NOT displaying on line for other states so OUT they go for NSW ....  My rellie has TOLD someone THERE that the Early Church Records predate the separation of TAS VIC QLD fron NSW and got himself into a huge argument ....  The other person claiming Vic records start earlier than NSW .... and that Vic and Qld gave records TO NSWBDM not vice versa .....  Rellie says  he thinks that there is no one left who knows WHY an original record is significantly better than a spreadsheet entry.

Well, Qld does give lttle bit of a clue in the C preceding the reg number.

Also the surname of mother is given for birth and death in QLD.

The way NSW is going there is no means of identification of identity whatever

Is it time for a petition?

This person may be assuming that V stands for Victoria.
Therefore, as the dates on these events are earlier then QED---

"Victorian records started earlier"

 Agh Sue that is gold star explanation  .... On phone offering it now

He was lost for words

We could have started an urban myth ...... Vic cometh before NS Wales ....

The original stated purpose of NSW BDM was to be a register.   The first civil Register was actually the NSW Supreme Court Registrar's register dating from 1834 or earlier perhaps but the 1834 version is extant and stored at NSW SRO at Kingswood.

My thoughts for what they're worth....add the mother's maiden name to the birth records on the old database.....along with the places of death for the later death registrations...and add Vic's system of purchasing records online.  Would be the best database in the country.  However that is far too simple isn't it

Bet they won't get the SA or Tas governments to place any data online.
