Like you I used to have to budget it in, and ask for them as gifts from the family for birthday/Mother's Day etc. I guess US/UK have census information but without that we Aussies need the certificates more, and ours are so informative as well. Swings and roundabouts.I hope your posts encourage more potential family historians from the A to Z.Cassmob (Pauleen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18397134336319778519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-410794479676555766.post-74748191589810229572013-04-04T08:46:48.445+11:002013-04-04T08:46:48.445+11:00It is the same here in the U.S. You can find out a...It is the same here in the U.S. You can find out a lot about your family, but it does cost.
