Adoptions

[~MERLIN~]

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 All,

http://www.cifhs.com/ 

This website has been around for quite some time now.   In the NSW section on the Registered Births, Deaths and Marriages 1788-1905, NSW, the entries there are based on some copyright works from 1989, where a person has actually transcribed a number of the NSW BDM records that were clearly pointing to Aboriginal heritage/culture.

The NSW section is futher separated into sections under the subheadings Volume I,  Volume II,  Volume III etc.

Then the transcriber has (under each subheading) various points, which include a summary of some of the details of each registration, and in brackets the volume and line number within that volume.  These are the NSW BDM references needed to help with purchasing an official transcription.  They are the same reference numbers that any Official Transcriber will recognise, and which were also used by NSW BDM until June of this very year.   There’s actually more than 120 volumes of these Early Church Records that are stored at NSWSRO and are not available for the general public to access as their condition has deteriorated.

Cheers,  JM

Bron,

Official Transcribers :   You choice of which one to use. Please order a full transcription.

Ask a family history transcription agent

Family history transcription agents provide full and partial transcriptions, or verification of details. A good idea if you only need the facts, and not full certified copies of certificates. For more details and fees, see below.

Hi All,

Re the death of a 34 year old Aboriginal Man in Mudgee in 1875, mentioned back much earlier in this thread.

This death is registered with the NSW BDM:  (clue it is also mentioned on the cifhs website  )

Rego No. 7704/1875
Family Name JOHNNY
Given Name/s ABORIGINAL
Father’s Given Name(s)  AGE 34 YEARS

Majm thank you.
Before I send this can you just read for me to make sure this is right.

I am writing to you for your professional help in transcripting certificates as I am in need of the information of the missing pieces.
I have a death cert of my 3 x Great Grandmother  from the yr 1864  and also another cert  yr 1882 of my 2 x Great Grandmother
I am also wondering if you are able to obtain a marriage cert of my cousins at all with this I only have her name
date of birth when died and name of partner.
My 3 x Grandmother is the mother to the other 2 people I am asking about.
Could you please get back to me on mater.

Majm
That is also the one we have been looking at but not to the extent of information you have put up.

[bron63]

sorry but what is cifhs ?

[majm]

Bron,

You don't need to go to that detail.  You simply need to click onto their website, and follow the prompts to place an order using their internet forms for the NSW BDM document you are wanting them to officially transcribe.



Cheers,  JM
