Price: QTY: Unclaimed Letters Index, 1860-1874: CD An Index to Queensland Unclaimed Letters, 1860-1874, on CD-ROMwith QFHSdatasearch ver.1.5Published by the Queensland Family History Society Incorporated, December 2003. ISBN 1 876613 52 1Just $55.00 (incl. GST and certified Australia Post postage and handling to anywhere in Australia).THIS CD-ROM provides an index to all 202,472 names in the monthly lists of unclaimed letters published in the Queensland Government Gazette between 1860 and 1874. It can be directly searched on name, title, occupation, nationalisty, address and year, using QFHSdatasearch. This is a new index and has not been previously published in any form.The index is a valuable aid for locating early colonists in Queensland. Knowing where our ancestors were is often not easy to determine, particularly if no significant event occurred which left a paper trail. Many of them moved frequently, either seeking employment or chasing gold. As a result, letters were often not able to be delivered - the last address was no longer applicable.The addesses given in this index will help trace just where that ancestor was - even if he or she was no longer there by the time these letters were due for delivery!The lists of unclaimed letters were published monthly in the Queensland Government Gazette - usually in the following month (for example, the December 1872 list was published in January 1873) though occasionally at the end of the month. Most letters from mid-1862 have a code for the origin or type of letter, and these are included in the index. It also includes reference details for the Gazette entry.QFHSdatasearch is a generic interface designed to search genealogy databases and developed by the Queensland Family History Society Incorporated. This version features field-orientated and keyword searches, Boolean selection, sorting, wildcard searches and links between search results and images in PDF files.Please note: This resource will not work in an Apple® Mac® system, although certain Windows® emulation software might prove successful.
