School Pupils Index, Part 2: CD Queensland School Pupils Index - Part 2, on CD-ROM with QFHSdatasearch ver.1.6 Published by the Queensland Family History Society Incorporated, 2004. ISBN 1 876613 94 7 Just $55.00 (incl. GST and certified Australia Post postage and handling to anywhere in Australia). THIS publication consolidates into a single index, volumes six through 10 of the Queensland Family History Society Incorporated's (QFHS) on-going Queensland School Pupils Index (QSPI) project, indexing admissions and other school records in Queensland. This portion of the QSPI includes some 320,000 names drawn from more than 200 Queensland schools. It and the companion CD (Queensland School Pupils Index - Part 1, ver.1.01, with QFHSdatasearch ver. 1.5) cover about 550,000 names from 400 schools - about 15 percent of admissions. The dates range from 1865 with a 30-year closure observed - as recommended by Education Queensland - for names extracted from admission registers. Schools range from ones located in large city ones (open http://www.qfhs.org.au/downloads/schoolsCDpart2.pdf for a listing), with admission registers in the thousands, to rural one-teacher schools with a total enrolment of dozens. Some schools have long ceased to exist, while others are still functioning. Sources from which the names were drawn are diverse - actual school admission registers, school histories covering a significant anniversary (e.g., jubilee, golden or 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, a parent's name and occupation, religion, address - all very useful to a genealogist and family historian. QFHSdatasearch is a generic interface designed to search genealogy databases and developed by QFHS. This version features field-orientated and keyword searches, Boolean selection, sorting, wildcard searches and links between search results and images in PDF files.
