If you had family in the QLD police force this is a great place to start

http://www.police.qld.gov.au/aboutUs/facilities/museum.htm

They can usually tell you registration numbers for police records which you can then order through the QLD state archives.

Hi, 
Have just registered for this site and saw you were inquiring about Queensland sites

- what are you searching for as  I will be going down to my local library to do my family (Qld based also) . Tomorrow ...
I usually go twice a month.   I've found 4 generations of my family in a small box of microfische.
( marriage , births, deaths , baptisims, wills)  ?? I think the records go back to 1800 ?I think -I will check.

They only open the geneology section 2times a week for 3/4 hours and you have to battle for a position.

Also a helpful site for gravesites and photos has been 

 http://www.chapelhill.homeip.net/FamilyHistory/Photos/index.htm

Thanks
Happy searching

Hi Brisgirl
Thanks a million for this site
Queensland Headstone Photo Collection

http://www.chapelhill.homeip.net/FamilyHistory/Photos/
(Nundah - formerly German Station).

Have just found photos of the first of my husbands relations in Australia plus some of their descendent's.

Excited!! You'd better believe it!!   Grin Grin I read somewhere that these graves could not be found because they had been washed away in a flood.

You guys have excelled again.  Wink Wink

Many thanks.

Get excited people... the Queensland BDM Registry is poised to release its index online, finally!!!  It's expected to cover the period 1800-1929.

Woohoo, can't wait!

I am especially looking forward to 1800-1829 -- Qld had its first european settlers in 1829 I believe.

More good news

http://www.justice.qld.gov.au/bdm/home.htm

The Registry apologises for the discrepancy between what was previously advertised and that which has been launched online. Due to the enthusiasm of the family tree researching community the registry is investing the further release of historical indexes from 1914 to 1929 in the near future. Your patience is appreciated

Cheers
