Natasha don't give too much detail for living people on the boards. Message people who offer to help. If you know her married surname, have you tried the Oz phone directories? Ozi. Update: there are only 1-2 M. McKindley in each state. If you know a middle name or her husband's first name even better.

Hi Natasha , A quick look on whitepages has shown that McKindley is not a common name. www.whitepages(.)com(.)au Have a look you may recognise her husbands initial? Helen

the new south wales state library can help you find where they were living at the time of the last electoral. If you log onto www(.)sl(.)nsw(.)gov(.)au and slect services then 'ask a librarian'. Fill out the form with as much detail as possible. Select inform by mail and they will send you copies of the micro film. The librarian said they can check back to 1990 without knowing a town of residence,. You can also phone them on 02 9273 1414 and add the aus dial before number. You can also contact the RTA (raods and traffic authority) and fill in a 'freedom of information form', they will search their data base to see if the person has ever owned a drivers license, if so they will contact them and ask if they can pass on the persons details to you, if the person has passed away they will contact their next of kin. The same process is for both, if the person says yes or if the person does not answer the rats request you will receive they address and contact number, if they say no the rta won't. The service costs $30.00 au. Good Luck, Louisa
