Hi Kerry,
   Yes I had a lovely week in the bush - so peaceful.

    Here is Ryerson's Index http://www.ryersonindex.org/

    On the left column in blue writing is a heading Locating a Notice.   If you click on that it takes you to a page where it gives you several ways of locating a notice.   At the bottom of that page it says
The Last Resort
Request a Ryerson's Lookup

If you click on this it takes you to a request form where you give details of the notice you want.

regards,
  Ros

Hi Ros
Wow that time has flown by, glad you had an enjoyable break.  Where did you actually go to.  Just wondering if I've been there too.
Thanks for the reference to the ryerson index.  I've used it extensively but did not realise they would check records on request.
I can't remember now, who I mentioned to generate your response - can you?  Was it a death notice for Mat. O'Meara?  Sure hope you can remember.
Also would you please explain how to access, for example, the Irish topics on Roots Chat. I don't find the tool bar very helpful.
Thanks again for all your help
Cheers
Kerry

Hi Kerry,
   We were in the historical gold-mining area of Hargraves and Pyramul - middle of nowhere  ;D

   You can look back to the previous page of responses by just pressing page 2  (down bottom left of page)

   The lookups I was suggesting were :
     Thomas Francis MILGATE died in 1956 - there are death notices and obits available in Lismore Northern Star
      Kathleen Bridget MILGATE died in 1961 - funeral notice in Lismore Northern Star

regards,
   Ros

Ah yes, it all comes back to me now, Ros.  I thought I had looked through all the responses, but perhaps I missed a page.

Did you find any gold?

Cheers
Kerry

No we didn't find any gold ... :(

But we love the night skies so full of stars in the country and without internet or tv distractions we all talk more and just enjoy the experience.    (better than gold  ;D )

cheers,
