More new Australia projects

Today brings us two new projects …

Australia, Newspaper Vital Notices, 1851-2001 (Part 3) This project was sorted prior so the images will all contain birth, marriage or death records. Being a newspaper the records are typed and we have enhanced the images so they should be easy to read. If you have questions or feedback you can post on the Discussion page or Australia Records message board.
Victoria, Australia, Police Gazettes, 1855-1892 (Part 3) The Police Gazettes are an old favorite of mine – and being Part 3 this will look familiar to many contributors. We are keying the names of individuals involved in the alleged crimes – whether victim or “criminal”. The records are also typed and easy to read. If you have questions or feedback you can post on the Discussion page or Australia Records message board.

Happy indexing!

Is anyone going to answer all the questions that are on the Wiki discussion page?! I keyed a few names, but had all the same questions, so I returned the set.

When It has the lady’s maiden name (nee and the name) I have been putting it with the given name with “” around it. Is this correct. Also nick names ‘name’ along with the given name. Let me know How it is to be done please. Thank you, Connie Fry

We only key Maiden names and Alias names when there is a field for them – or according to field help if different than the keying standards. They should not be added to the Given or Surname fields. (Maiden names are sometimes keyed in the Surname field in lieu of the married surname – each project will have field help will address whether this is the case.)
