Remember that there may be more than one person in the records with the same name as your ancestor and that your ancestor may have used nicknames or different names at different times. | As you are searching it is helpful to know such information as your ancestor’s given name and surname, some identifying information such as residence and age, and family relationships.

=== Tips in Using These Records === | |||
*Use the estimated age to calculate a birth date. | |||
*When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct. | |||
*You may need to search using a nickname. | |||
*Check for variant spellings of the names. | |||
*Be aware that, as with any index, transcription errors may occur. | |||
*Search the records of nearby localities (Tasmania, New South Wales, South Australia) | |||
*Most genealogical records found in Australia are in English. However, due to immigrants coming from various countries throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, variations in spelling may appear in many of the records. See [[Australia Language and Languages]] for further help. | |||
