Sadly, in Australia while censuses were taken, once the statistical data was extracted, most were destroyed. Apart from some early musters, researchers have to use other resources to try and fill in the gaps. These include electoral rolls, directories, gazettes, council rates, land records, civil registration and more. While not a perfect substitute these resources do help us put people in time and place.

Another great tool and presentation. Great job!!
As I know nothing about Australia, found it very informative & will be able to apply it to other places & times.
As usual Helen is very entertaining and knowledgeable

Excellent overview. Thanks Helen! (& Geoff)
Excellent! Very nice handout, too. Perhaps I’ll still find my missing man! Thank you.
First time I have watched a LIVE webinar from Western Australia although I have enjoyed viewing many after the event. Thank you, Helen, for an enlightening webinar and thank you Legacy for presenting.
first timer – most informative but still learning the ropes technically. I can see it is all pretty straightforward – now I need to go to find the notes!
Found out some new information. Thanks Helen (and Geoff)

Great presentation. I need to learn more about Australian genealogy as I hope to visit in 2 years to do some research.
Great webinar Helen. I wouldn’t have thought about Council rate assessment books.
It thought it was very helpful. I had only really known about the electoral rolls but hadn’t considered a lot of the other lists available. thanks!
Lots of food for thought, now I just have to find the time to try some new things out 🙂 Thx
