Hi Diane,
Thank you for that will have a look.

Emma

I found my aunts and cousins on it who emmigrated there in 1963 and a bonus was their documents with photos were on it too.

Di

No luck so far Diane what do I go into on site?
Get carried away when I find something interesting
to read that has nothing to do with what I'm looking for.

Emma

I have just been on it and there have change the layout on it.
This is how I do it on right hand side name search, then top of page record search basic search then enter name.

If you dont come up with anything if you would like me to have a look I will

Hi Diane have had another look and surname is there
but not my relatives. Thanks again for your help.

Emma

Try Google.

I found my friend and her husband (my oh's cousin) this way, had lost their address after various house moves over the years. The last contact I had for them was in the Perth area of Australia. One of the first hits was a local newspaper report, friend had received a Community Award for her help at her local school. Then searched Facebook for a group for the school. Found one a joined the group, placed a "looking for" giving info that could only come from someone who knew them. Bingo !!. Within half an hour I had a "friend request". I couldn't have timed it better because they came home for months visit last month. :))

.... the 'South Australian State Library' (on-line) has an 'Ask Us' librarian service ...they will check their electoral rolls for you .... say from after 2yrs of their arrival. They also check newspaper death notices too.

You could also try the Australian White Pages Directory ( on-line ) for South Australia "Adelaide" for a surname and initial.

If they were female cousins ( not married ) and married here in Australia not long after arriving,( 1960s ) it could prove very difficult to trace them.

Morning all thank you for your help.I will look
into it all and hope to come up with something,
they are both males and believe Adelaide is
where they live. Thank you for your time.

Emma

Still not come up with info on my cousins
yet although same last name in the data.
Just wanted to let you know.

Emma

I've just found my cousin in Australia. I had a lot of help from board members and then someone suggested sending away for his mother's will, she died in Surrey and he was the only son. Hey presto when the will arrived there was his address in Australia. He had moved from there so I looked in the White Pages and found him.

Ann

I am beginning to wonder if I've been given
wrong info.Aunt still alive and it's cousins I
never met, needless to say am not in contact
with aunt who could verify but saying that info
came from good source. Now I have another
relative who was born in Switzerland and am
stuck with that also.Onwards and upwards, the
joy of research.
