This 2002 CDOM combines the 3-volume Dictionary of Queenslanders: Past and Present, edited by Janet Reakes and Eileen Johnson and published by Australia's Immigration & Family History Centre in 1995-1999.The print Volume 2 and 3 are now out of print.

The aim of this 919-page work is to recognise as many past and present Queenslanders as possible. Similar books exist for SA and WA but they do not include present day residents. This work covers people born in the early 1800s right through to those born in the 1970s.

The entries of all three volumes have been combined and arranged alphabetically by surname with cross references, adding in which volume it is in at the end of each entry. An example entry is listed below:

This index was compiled from the original passenger lists in the collection of the Queensland State Archives. The passenger lists are primarily for assisted passengers from the United Kingdom and Europe. Please note that this list does not include passengers from New Zealand, the Americas, Asia, Africa, other Australian ports or those passengers who paid their own fare. The 'M' microfilm numbers refer to the films in the Historical Resource Kit - Immigration which is located at the State Library of NSW and other locations around Australia.

The Queensland Blue Books give details of people employed in the Queensland Civil Service covering a large number of departments and positions of the Queensland government.

The 'Queensland Criminal Reports' is a compilation of all criminal cases that were reported in the following:

the Supreme Court Reports Vol. 1-8 (1860-1881)

the Queensland Law Journal and Notes of Cases Vol. I-XII (1881-1901)

the Queensland State Reports and Weekly Notes (1902-1907)

There are a total of 232 cases listed in this volume, and they cover everything from conspiracy, escapes, explosives, forgery, insolvency, intoxication, murder, neglect, schoolmaster, stealing, wounding unlawfully, and plenty more.

Contained in over 600 pages, this book is arranged chronologically by date which makes it a little hard to find without reading through. So on this CD edition, each trial has been bookmarked alphabetically by surname making it very easy to find. Full details of each trial are included right down to who the solicitors for both parties were.

Volumes 1-80 covering the period 1860-1890s. Information shown includes the QSA and Title Office Reference Numbers, Country, Parish, Town/Village, Area, Name of Purchaser and Year of Purchaser.

There are also 3 smaller indexes to other court, land and miscellaneous records for the same period and a scanned image of the printed guide to the main index.

The index was originally published in 1990 on microfiche as the Queensland Family History Society pre-separation population index of Moreton Bay region 1824-1859 (see REF 10/N929.3943/11 M/F 13), with a printed guide.

Police Gazettes are an extremely useful resource for family and local historians alike. Compiled to be distributed amongst the police force only, these Gazettes therefore contain details and information that can not be found anywhere else.

'Containing information received in cases of felony and of misdemeanour, and against receivers of stolen property, reputed thieves, and offenders escaped from custody, with the time, place, and circumstances of the offences, and description of offenders or those suspected, giving the appearance, dress, and other marks of identity, with every particular which may lead to their apprehension; and a description, as accurate as possible, of property that has been stolen, horses, &c.'

They also include court lists, lists of warrants issued, appointments and changes in the police service, lists of Justices of the Peace, lists of arrests and discharges and descriptions photographs and details of deserters, escaped prisoners, and missing people as well lists for liquor, wine sellers, tobacco sellers, auctioneers, billiard and poisons licences. Notices from police gazettes from other states are also often included.

Now searchable, these Gazettes on CD-ROM open up a world of interesting and comprehensive information about individual people and their lives in Queensland's past.

A free online historical index of all births, deaths and marriages that occurred in Queensland from 1829 to 1914.

Early church records for births and deaths exist which are not within the above ranges as the date of event is not known. These records are stored with a year of event of 1800. To retrieve these records perform a search with a 'year from' of 1800 along with any other required fields filled.

Searches are not case sensitive so you can use upper and lower case and get the same search result.

To search for an BDM event the following fields need to be filled:

family name or given name(s)

year to search from

To refine your search fill as many fields as possible.

When entering the year to be searched, you must enter a four-digit year in the 'from' field. The 'to' field can be left blank. This will result in a search of the range bounded by the year entered in the 'from' field. and the latest year for which records can be searched (1914).

The year of registration is not necessarily the same year as the event. Events that occur in December may not be registered until January of the following year. For example, where the date of birth is 22 December 1928 and the registration date is 8 January 1929, the year of registration is 1929.

A late registration will also have a different registration year to the date of the event. For example, the date of birth is 12 November 1829 and the registration date is 28 June 1850.

Includes indexes to immigration, companies, divorces, inquests, justices of the peace, teachers, wills and many more for various years. Queensland State Archives Volunteers are currently compiling more Indexes.
