School Pupils Index, Part 3: CD Queensland School Pupils Index - Part 3, on CD-ROM with QFHSdatasearch ver.1.6 Published by the Queensland Family History Society Incorporated, November 2005. ISBN 1 876613 98 X Just $55.00 (incl. GST and certified Australia Post postage and handling to anywhere in Australia). THIS publication continues the consolidation into a single index of the Queensland Family History Society Incorporated's (QFHS) Queensland School Pupils Index (QSPI) project of indexing admissions and other school records in Queensland. This portion of the QSPI includes some 340,000 names drawn from hundreds of Queensland schools. Between them, the QSPI three disks - Parts 1 and 2 and 3 - cover about 900,000 names from more than 600 schools - or about 25 percent of admissions. With the Part 3 disk, the date range stretches from 1870 to 2004, with a 30-year closure observed - as recommended by Education Queensland. Pupil names have been extracted by QFHS volunteers directly from previously unpublished admission registers. However, where the information has already been published then the student names for all available years have been included. Schools range from those located in large city centres (open http://www.qfhs.org.au/downloads/SchoolsQSPI_pt3.pdf for a listing), with admission registers mentioning thousands of names, to rural, one-teacher schools with total enrolments of just a few dozen (or less). Some schools have long ceased to exist, while others are still going strong. 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. It has been developed using Microsoft® Visual Basic ver.6.0 for searching indices stored in a Microsoft® Access database. 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 on an Apple® Mac® system, although certain Windows® emulation software might prove successful.
