Lookup Service |
|
A lookup for any additional information held on a single name from one of the Society databases (listed below) costs:-
$6.60 for members ($6.00 for overseas members)
$11.00 for non-members.
The amount of information that can be provided 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 in the 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 of the Newspaper Index will provide a date and other information associated with the entry. A lookup for a journal article is considered as a request for a photocopy of the article
Lookups are available over:
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 District certificate.
The transcription of each certificate (if available) costs:-
$13.20 for members ($12.00 for overseas members)
$15.00 for non-members.
More than one certificate can be requested on a form, but 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 email or post. The date range of Certificates varies for each District.
Adelaide District BD&M records are as follows. 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.
