Step 5 Your grand parents Birth Certificate

By now you should have obtain the birth certificate of your grandparents if they were born in Australia. These will enable you to add the precise dates of birth to their records on your pedigree.

If your grandparents were born after compulsory registration  commenced the dates of thier parents marriages will be shown.

Step 6 Your greatgrandparents Marriage Certificate.

Obtain the marriage certificates of those of your greatgrandparents who were married in Australia while these may not provide all the information you might like to have every item . Should be carefully recorded.

Names of witnesses may be of particular interest for quite often brothers,sisters or parents appear in this record.

It is not uncommon to find an adult whose eight greatgrandparents were all born in Australia. In addition many people have traced thier families back through six or seven Australian -born generations and a few through eight generations in one or more lines.

You should now pursue your Australian - born great grand parents using the same procedure as before and leaving overseas searches until you have discovered among your forebears the very earliest arrival here.
