NSW Research Gift Voucher
NSW Research Gift Voucher

For the person who has everything but knowledge about where he/she came from! Give the gift of personal family history research!

NSW Research Gift VoucherMore Details
Whether a complete novice or an experienced researcher there is always more to learn about your family history.

The simple facts of birth, marriage and death can be complemented with the "meat" of family history - how our ancestors arrived, worked, lived, and died; what they owned, who their neighbours were, what they read in the local paper, and all the other details that turn names on a chart into real people.

You will receive a gift voucher that the recipient can redeem for the number of research hours selected. Research will be performed on NSW records only unless negotiated beforehand.

If the recipient already has done some research then that must be examined first to avoid redoing it. Examination of previous research materials will be deducted from the total hours. Let a professional have a go at it!

Minimum 3 hours research, including analysis of previous materials. Postage and photocopies are extra and can't be determined until research is completed but may be deducted from the total if requested.

Price: $150.00

NSW Land Research
NSW Land Research

Find out what land your ancestor owned, how much it cost, and when it was bought, sold and mortgaged.

NSW Land ResearchMore Details
If your ancestors owned property in New South Wales in the 1800s you can get a more detailed picture of their geographic movements and financial position over time.

The ownership of land has long been an indicator of wealth and status, and even of eligibility to vote until the mid-1800s. Land records show where the land was, what it was used for, who owned it before and who it passed to.

Records of land in NSW are held in the NSW Department of Lands in Sydney (previously the NSW Land Titles Office), although some have been moved to State Records NSW. Land research at the NSW Lands Department and State Records NSW is complex and time-consuming but well worth the effort.

The minimum research period is three (3) hours. Initial research will include a search of all relevant indexes at the Lands Department and a report of what was found with recommendations for further research.
