Hi all,

I have sent this to each of the genealogy lists that we are subscribed
to. That means that I will receive it five times, and others may
receive it up to five times. I apologise for this in advance.

However, as the AVRI has been a topic of discussion for a little while,
I guess many are wondering "What the heck is this AVRI everyone is
talking about? Is it the Anti-Viral Rabies Injection or the Australia's
Victorious Rowing Institute or what?"

I hope that the info below will help.

The Australian Vital Records Index 1788-1905

The front cover says:

"These CDs contain an index of births, christenings, marriages, and
deaths from New South Wales (1788-1888), Tasmania (1803-1899), Victoria
(1837-1888), and Western Australia (1841-1905). They provide the
information necessary to order copies of original certificates from
Australia."

(Absolute) minimum system requirements are:

486DX - Windows 3.1, 3.11, 95, or NT - 4 MB RAM - CD-ROM Drive - SVGA
monitor with 256 colour capable video card.


Here's an example of the info shown from a search:

ANUS, Ida M Birth
Father:Joseph
Mother:Martha R
Reg Year:1867Reg State:New South Wales
Ref Number:15631

[Despite the interesting surname, this is a genuine index entry. Do you
know any ANUSes. I know a few myself, but their surname isn't ANUS]
;-)

Unfortunately, the AVRI does NOT contain QLD, NT, or SA. I'm not sure
about the ACT. I believe that the ACT was part of NSW. In fact it
still is!!!

Some people have said that Qld IS included up until it was no longer
part of NSW (and therefore didn't exist) - back in 1859ish. I have yet
to confirm this, but it is certainly possible. I have yet to find ANY
Queensland ancestors in the AVRI.

It would count it second only to this mailing list in my current
success. ;-)

Good luck everyone in your research. If you get stuck, send me lots of
praise and I'll do a FREE lookup of the AVRI for you.
