Australian Birth, Death & Marriage Certificates

I recently came across this new website which is collecting birth, death & marriage certificates and transcriptions. You can search a pdf document to locate an entry and contact the owner via email for a transcription of the record. The details are FREE. This site compliments a number of websites offering to share details from unwanted certificates or certificates that have been purchased in error. Australian Birth, Death & Marriage Certificates

Australian maps

Visit Mapco to view old maps including Australian states and cities. The earliest NSW map dates from 1796. The site also has photos of historical interest including early Australian cities. Also of interest are several 1915 maps of Gallipoli. http://archivemaps.com/mapco/aust.htm
