QSPI Part 3 indexes approximately
340,000 names drawn from 200+ Queensland schools.
Dates for this CD range from 1870 to circa 2004
with a 30 year closure, as recommended by Education
Queensland, when names were extracted directly from
Admission Registers. Schools range in sized from large
city ones with admissions in the thousands to small
country one-teacher schools with a total enrolment of
hundreds. Some schools have long ceased to exist; others
are still functioning.
Sources from which the names are drawn are
diverse - actual school admission registers, school
histories covering a significant anniversary (Jubilee,
Golden, Centenary) in the life of a school, and local
histories which don’t focus on the school but include a
pupil list as part of their story. Many sources provide
additional information on the family including age at
admission, birth date, parents’ names and occupation,
religion, address.
This CD is an excellent resource for
researching Queensland families.
