Lookup Service |
|
The new lookup service is now available. There
is a set fee of $6.60 for members and $11.00 for non-members if you require a lookup of a name from one
of the databases listed below. The amount of information varies.
A lookup of the cemetery index will at least give the name of
the cemetery, while further info depends on how much was recorded
on the headstone or burial register. Government Gazette deceased
estates give little extra info (sometimes residence & occupation)
and if the date is listed as, eg GG1922, there is no death date
recorded but the notice appeared in 1922. A lookup for a journal
article is a request for a photocopy of the article.
To order a lookup, please print this Lookup
Request Form,
fill it in and send it along with your payment.

Transcription Service NEW! |
|
The Society holds copies of South Australian District BDM records. We are not permitted to provide copies of these. At present, copies are only available from the South Australian Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages. However, we may provide a full transcription of all the information recorded on a certificate.
There is a set fee of $13.20 for members and $15.00 for non-members per certificate, inclusive of GST.
More than one certificate can be requested on a form, but each each certificate requested will incur the set fee.
To use this service, please complete the Transcription Request Form and forward it to the Research Service. The Society will record the information it holds on the particular entry or entries and forward the results by mail. The date range of Certificates varies for each District. Adelaide District records are as follows, and in the very early years they covered the whole of South Australia:
- Births: 1842 – 1928
- Deaths: 1842 – 1967
- Marriages: 1842 – 1937
Other Districts may have similar dates recorded, but they will vary. Deaths may be up to 1967, marriages may be up to 1937.
