The CD also includes, where found,
other associated notices, an index and scanned images of
source pages for intestacy returns 1896-1916, and an index
to Supreme Court Brisbane Originating Summonses 1896-1916.
Highlights of the main index:
approx. 87,000 entries listing name, residence,
occupation, type of notice, court, date and Gazette
reference. All persons in each notice have been indexed,
including executors, administrators and trustees, to
provide as complete a coverage as possible of those
involved. Gazette notices may contain further information, eg relationships to others mentioned in the notice and,
for insolvencies, the dividends declared. The intestacy
returns
index of approx. 31,000 entries lists name, where
died, where born, court, and Gazette reference. The
notices also indicate the total amount received, paid and
invested for the estates of the listed persons. The
Supreme Court index of approx. 4,000 entries
includes residence, occupation and notes on the nature of
the summons. View the images in Acrobat Reader (free and
downloadable).
Searching the indexes by name, year and
other details is made easy using the popular searching and
sorting capabilities of our very own developed
QFHSdatasearch interface. Features include field oriented
and keyword searches, Boolean selection, sorting, wildcard
searches and, when applicable, links to the source images.
These three indexes provide a valuable
guide to death related and other legal information for the
period. This CD is an excellent resource for researching
Queensland history.
