Hi Majm,
            I sent you a private message to try help you with a few of your early queries in this search.
Thankyou.

Yes, thanks, I have been reading it.   

RChat does restrict the amount of words etc you can put in the one post or the one PM.  I think it is around 5000 characters in each instance.

Family history researching is about sharing and helping each other.  So I should mention that I am not a member of the FIRTH family.   I am simply NSW centric in my own family history researching, so I am happy to help with pointers as to the "How", "Where", "When", "Who" and "etc" re NSW in particular , and family history practices in general.

But whether you are researching in NSW or elsewhere, whether you are researching Anglo families, or German families, or Aboriginal families, or Russian families, or Maori families, or any other culture,  there's one basic rule.   You start with what you KNOW about your own parents, and then you aim to find out about their parents, and their grandparents and work back through each generation, one step at a time, joining the dots, before you proceed further back a generation.

Cheers,  JM

I just tried to access the films but it appears I will have to organise a national library card. A lot of the results I have found are not available online either.
I am inexperienced in these searches so any help would be great.
I will keep you updated if I manage to figure how to search these records. I'm assuming I would be best conducting this research at my local library itself.

No one said they were available online if you had read the references I sent you.

They are not available at local libraries. As far as I know you can only access these films at the NLA, SAG or the Mitchell Library. I have used them myself previously.

hi Merlin,
                         I'm not exactly sure myself about micro films being available online and I have tried to follow your advice the best I can but under the help section for searching records in the NLA it says if a record has been made to view online then a link will be available to view, I thought as much that my local library would not be useful so I made sure I stated it was an assumption so I could be corrected if wrong. Like I've stated before I am new to this and need help, a couple of records I found in the NLA as search results allowed online viewing but it asks for a national library account. I'm very tired and have accidentally written films instead of records in my post, I've got films on my mind, I need people to understand my literature skills are not the best and I will make the odd mistake. I was looking for films as well as other records but I'm still yet to understand the terminology in there as I did not have an option I could find to specifically search films, it does not appear that I will be able to search these records as I live in Coffs Harbour.
Thankyou,
               Wertyperty.

Hi Judb,
            Merlin has pointed a few thing out to me and from my understanding I will not be able to view these microfilms, it does appear according to the NLA I will be able to view some records online if I get a national library card though. I live in Coffs Harbour so if I could accept your offer of assistance that would be very much appreciated.
Thankyou.

http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/30598619 Queanbeyan Age Sat 17 July 1875

 Johnny Taylor’s funeral was “ Monday last” as per the Tumut and Adelong Times and The Rev Mr Jones read the service.   The Ode Poem ON THE DEATH OF THE ABORIGINAL CRICKETER JOHN TAYLOR attributed Whitefellow, has the date of June 29.   

This may be NSW BDM reference no. for that death:  John TAYLOR, aged 28 years, died TUMUT, #387/1875   

Obviously this death of the cricketer with the funeral at Tumut, end of July or early July, 1875 is NOT the same chap as the chap whose death is registered in the Mudgee District in January 1875 (Mudgee is #7704/1875)

Obviously the church didn't tell you that their registers have already been microfilmed & are freely available to the public

Hi all,
Can I just point out in this post that I need to be aware of how to view any research I might be provided because I'm learning and I don't want to upset anyone. I was not aware microfilms have to be viewed in person, I was under the impression I could view this online because I was provided links to go look at and the NLA's help says some records are viewable online.
Thankyou.

Letting you know has been done. Now just wait.

Thanks, I am sure everyone following this thread will be eagerly awaiting the information that comes back to you.   It can sometimes seem like "for ever" but it will only be a couple of weeks.
