Today

Furthered my Waldron research today. Was good to finally find the information I lost 2years ago when my computer died and I lost my tree. I found Benjamin who left his wife in England and took off to Utah, where he became a Mormon and had 5 wives at once. Yes, one of those Utah mormons. I find USA quite hard to research. Why are they so difficult with there historical information. After all these years I really do think Australia is the best in regards to freedom of Archives. You can get your hands on so much info with the click of a mouse. USA not so much. I would love to know the reason for it? Is it simply because the there is so much information and not enough people to Index and Archive it for public viewing? They seem to be happy for Ancestry.com to display it all, for a price of course.

More excitingly, QLD have increased the years you can look up on the Death index online from 1964 to 1983. Now I will have a lot to do! QLD births deaths and marriages have also increased the index for marriages to 1938. So now we can search up until these times for free. I have yet to find any site for the US that offers such a service.

Happy hunting :)
