About this webinar

Do you make the most of land records? South Australian Certificates of Title issued in line with the 1858 Real Property Act contain more than just land transactions, SAILIS has more than just certificates, and what about the GRO (Old Systems) records? Did you know that you can find birth, death and marriage details that lie outside the period of public indexes, information about hotel leases, and more? Get an introduction to the main repositories of land records in South Australia, how to access them, and how to make effective searches to find the information you need.

    A lot of information which I plan to follow up in Victoria – it was a help to seethe benefit of understanding the folio and volume numbers and how important this information is. Thank you

    AOK

    Appreciate this webinar; Australian ancestors linked to my maternal line. Thanks!

    Benjamin Hollister had great information on finding resources in South Australia.

    Benjamin Hollister seemed very knowledgeable about the land records in So. Australia and how to access them. I really appreciate his acumen and info.

    Don’t have any family from there but I do enjoy learning more about different places to do research. Thanks

    Fascinating! Although I don’t have a lot to do with South Australia it opened my eyes regarding what may be available in Tasmania and New South Wales.

    Found topic interesting and beneficial. Sorry I had to leave early due to another commitment, but glad I was able to hear as much as I did and the handout looks great.

    Good Overveiw and a good presenter.

    Great love the Down under series!

    Great search explanations, terminologies and methods, with a clearly spoken follow-on to each segment.

    Great webinar on Australia land records and how to use them.

    I have no ancestors in Australia so not applicable, although what I did hear, he sounded easy to understand and knowledgable.

    It covered a lot of helpful information. Thank you

    It was brilliant.

    My first webinar. I am a member of the South Australia Genealogy society so I can have access to their records. I live in the US, but my family is from Australia. This was wonderful, opens up a whole new source of information.

    Quite enlightening as to the information that is available from these documents.

    so much in such a short time, Ben did well to cover the subject in the allocated time.

    So much to pack into an hour. Lucky there is a syllabus.

    Tremendous wealth of knowledge imparted!

    Very enlightening. This is the same system of Land Tenure we use in NZ.

    very good

    Very Helpful!

    Very informative and interesting.

    Very informative, already using SALIS!

    Very interesting. Never would have thought that you might find vital statistics included in land records.

    Wow! there was so much in this session to take in… but will try to research the NSW records

Finding Mob: Researching Indigenous Australian Family History
Government Policy in Australia, particularly from Federation until the 1980s, meant that many Australians with indigenous roots have lost connection with family and community. Between adoption, state foster care, missions, hiding ethnicity, and relocation, it is often difficult to know where to start and haw to analyse records. This webinar will present how to start your research, looking at repositories, institutions, and community records that will assist, both indigenous specific and general, in compiling a genealogy or family history.

From Trial to Transformation: Building a Convict’s Life through multiple records and data sets
Exploring the life of a convict ancestor can be exciting but also a daunting task. This webinar leads participants through a methodical examination of the records available at various stages of a convict's life from trial through to freedom. After developing a framework for investigation, case studies are then used to demonstrate the various records available and where to find them, including both within Australia and overseas. Issues such as record conflicts and understanding the broader social context will also be explored to more fully understand changes in terminology and record types.

A military heritage: Finding your British army lineage in pre-20th century records
Many Australians will have a soldier or sailor somewhere in their family tree, particularly from the 20th century onwards. Finding those ancestors who served in Australian contingents during World War One or Two for example, is a relatively straightforward process, mainly because the records are mostly available in Australian archives. However, once the search moves back into the 19th or 18th century, then it can become a more complicated puzzle. This presentation provides an overview of the military history of Europe during the 19th and 18th centuries and outlines the range of records which are available, such as those at The National Archives (UK) in particular as well as Australian archives and military museums and an increasing number of online resources. The wealth of detail will help reveal the life of your military ancestor and may even be able to take your research back into the 18th century.

Can You Write a Wrong? Copyright in Australia
Knowing what we can freely use, without permission, in our family histories ensures that we are not infringing on the rights of others. For example, did you know that if you watch your grandmother make her secret pasta sauce, writing down the ingredients and methods she used, you have created your own 'literary work' which is now protected by copyright? (Just don't tell Granny!) How then does copyright law apply to published and unpublished works? What is fair use and moral rights? Can a distant cousin use information in her family book that I have researched? This presentation will examine those aspects of Australia’s copyright law which apply to family historians and discusses ways we can comply with the law.
