Non Pioneer Registered BDM in Tasmania

Whilst visiting the lovely little town of Colebrook recently we met  a wonderful couple at at St Patrick's Catholic Church. Whilst deep in discussion (family history of course) an idea was floated out there that we thought was wonderful and deserved consideration. To the gentleman who suggested it thank you.

The idea:
To compile a list of  birth, deaths and marriages in Tasmania that are not registered on the Tasmanian Pioneer and Federation Indexes.

So if you have a birth , death or marriage in Tasmania that was not registered we would like to hear from you. The aim is to provide a free on line database that can be easily accessed by all.  Your birth, death or marriage must be referenced though, no we think their parents are etc.

References can be
Newspaper articles - of the birth, marriage or death notice stating son or daughter of.
Baptism or burial records.
Headstone information.
Family bible
Death or Marriage certificate citing parents or children

The list is endless.

If you have an ancestor who fits this bill then email us their details (along with the reference) and we will add it to the database. enquiries@gentreeaustralia.com  or post it to GenTree Australia  14 Burnett Street, New Norfolk, 7140
