== | == Record History<br> == | ||
People used to place an ad in the local newspaper to announce a birth, marriage, or death. This information was later extracted into an alphabetically filed card index. Information included in these cards is primarily for marriages and deaths, but does include some births. There are a few cards with information extracted from the 1811 census, Thomas Mutch index, probate index, vital records, etc. Population coverage is not comprehensive. The majority of the records are from New South Wales, but there are a few from Queensland. | |||
