I’ve been sorting out my Whiting family who emigrated to Tasmania in the 1880’s. I came across the Tasmanian Library & Archives site and they have the wills indexed and scanned 1824 – 1989 and all for free.

What a wonderful service ! The site has lots of other datasets to search so I’ll let you know what else I find as I explore this site further that is after I have checked for wills for everyone on my list.

All this in between putting up the Christmas tree and working out how many mince pies are likely to be consumed in the next few weeks ….. the answer to that is too many !
